I have the same problems (with a dv8000 laptop) I applied the patch to 
alsa-1.0.13 (after a few modifications) and the quality of the sound 
improved significantly. I also get more switches in alsamixer. However, 
the microphone still doesn't work. I have a column saying ExtMic in 
alsamixer, but it says only 'L CAPTUR R' in red, and has no volume 
control. Is there a way to make the microphone work as well?

Thanks,
Moshe
