Thinkpad X220, ubuntu 11.10 64bit mic not working

Asked by laser9107

Hi,

I just found my microphone (Thinkpad X220, ubuntu 11.10 64bit) is not working. At first it works sometimes, then completely not working. I am not sure if this is a hardware problem (my Thinkpad was purchased only 3 months ago). Can anyone help me to figure out what the problem is?

The alsa-info is in:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=aa9a3282212bdbcdb441383db32a958fcbf1f5fb

Thanks!

Sorry, the text was wrapped in the message. I sent the png file of alsamixer screen to your email. Thanks!

Try:

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

reboot to test, if it's no good, then run:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and change the line to:

options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo

reboot to test, if that fails, change it to:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

Reboot to test, if any work, let us know which makes it ok. You should also rerun alsamixer to see if the mic is manipulatable.

I tried model=lenovo, thinkpad, ideapad, auto--none of them works. but the speaker works. The Analog mic Boost bar is still missing. But I can change the dB number by up/down arrows.

I tried model=laptop, this time both mic and speaker are not working.

Another two clues:

(1) I found the GNOME login sound (/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login") does not work.
When I run

/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"

in command line, it still not work, printing:

Failed to play sound: File or data not found

(2) When I reboot OS and launch skype, the program exit automatically. Running it again works.

Same thing here, still not working in both 12.04 and 12.10. See my bugreport here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1072146

Can you help with this problem?
