The instructions I've placed at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook?#Microphone work for me on my
MacBook 4,1 on Intrepid.  Can others comment if those instructions work
for them on their hardware?  (Comment only if the hardware is not
mentioned in a previous comment or if your experience differs from that
of a previous comment to keep the bug comments tidy please).

So at least for the Macbook 4,1 it seems like it is just some default
settings that need to be changed.  I'm not sure what package/software is
responsible for detecting and enabling the relevant settings changed in
the wiki.

Bug description:
>From orinoco8 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914510:

I have tried for some time, but my macbook air microphone is still not working. It's running Ubuntu 8.04 (up-to-date).

Tried alsamixer and turned on all the input devices. Skype picks up nothing (tested through test call). "Sound Recorder" records nothing.

Sound works fine.

>From kosumi68:

I can confirm that this problem has been present through all versions of 8.04, and it has not - to my knowledge - been fixed.

There are several possible source of the error, so I am reluctant to guess on a particular package yet.
