dzinkss, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very
top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for
testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional
upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

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.
