Hello,

The internal mic of my Dell Vostro 1500 is extreamly quiet. It does work but one need to shout to get anything recorded. I've been trying to use all the STAC9025 models
STAC9205/9254
=============
  ref		Reference board
  dell-m42	Dell (unknown)
  dell-m43	Dell Precision
  dell-m44	Dell Inspiron
  eapd		Keep EAPD on (e.g. Gateway T1616)
  auto		BIOS setup (default)

in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, but non of these changed the signal
level.

I was also playing with alsamixer and various settings including muting
left/right channel as suggested in some other page without any effect.

The mic works good in vista.
