  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

  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.

Title:
  internal mic is extreamly quiet

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
