I'm still trying to get an external microphone working on my laptop. I've |
| 2 |
been googling around for the last few hours and searching the alsa-wiki for |
| 3 |
info but I've not found the answer yet. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Here's the setup. I have a Compaq Presario V5000 laptop. It has the HDA |
| 6 |
soundcard (82801G (ICH7)) with the Conexant CXT5047 chip. I do not have the |
| 7 |
alsa drivers compiled in the kernel I'm using alsa-driver-1.0.14-rc1 which |
| 8 |
was compiled with ALSA_CARDS set to hda_intel. |
| 9 |
Sound playback is fine with amarok, mplayer, xine, etc |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
alsamixer gives me the following controls to play with |
| 12 |
Master, PCM, Mic Bypa, IEC958, Capture, ExtMic |
| 13 |
I know what Master and PCM do |
| 14 |
Mic Bypa can be set to capture or not |
| 15 |
I'm not sure what to do with IEC958, it can be either muted or on |
| 16 |
Capture can be set to capture or not and has volume control |
| 17 |
ExtMic is set to capture and can not be changed, it also has no volume control |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I've tried various combinations of setting but without success |
| 20 |
Can anybody help me out, I'd love to be able to use skype again, it's a hell |
| 21 |
of a lot cheaper than making international calls home from a regular |
| 22 |
telephone. |
| 23 |
|

Thanks |
