The laptop is a Vaio VGN-FW11E and the sound card is 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Sony Corporation Unknown device 9035 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at d5200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?> Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series] Subsystem: Sony Corporation Unknown device 9035 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at d0030000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [a0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information <?> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel With a standard Fedora 9 installation (updated) I can use the speaker and an external mic. I can use also the camera but not the internal mic (that I think is present near the camera). Alsamixer and kmix do not show options for mic other that "Front mic". When I insert headphone, the speaker continue to sound (and also the headphone). I tried to use other models for hda-intel driver using the options files in /etc/modprobe.d whith options snd-hda-intel model=hippo headphone inserting mute the speaker, but mic do not work kmix shows mic - front mic - line - CD as input source but noone works without an external mic with options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd is the same but with less options as input and output. Someone can help my to found the right model? Alsa modules installed are alsa-lib-1.0.17-2.fc9.i386.rpm alsa-utils-1.0.17-2.fc9.i386.rpm </blockquote></div></div> Have you removed PulseAudio? No, not disabled... Warning, some other things may stop working, but if what you need works it may be a lesser evil. FC10 could be made to work with PA if you wasted^H^H^H^H^H^Hspent enough time onthe config, and FC11 has taken away the sliders. I have been unable to get sound working at all on FC11, I just have put that on my personal blocker list for installing FC11 on a machine which needs sound. </blockquote><div> This has nothing to do with pulseaudio. The internal mic is generally a digital mic. Using "alsamixer -c 0" should show an option to select the digital or the analog (external) mic. However, this depends on the alsa driver being used. The current stable version is 1.0.20, but Fedora is always behind. </div></div> I can select the digital mic on my Dell Vostro laptop, but the sound is too low to be useful, and I prefer to use the external anlog mic, than spenting days on the alsa development list because of that. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
