So, Kacper, you can confirm that you can record audio from the internal
mic using GNOME Sound Recorder? And this is for a MacBook 5.1, correct?
Is there some way we can compare settings to determine what's different
between your configuration and mine such that I am unable to use the
internal mic?

I am using 64-bit Ubuntu--is this a difference? I'm using the setup as
per the wiki. There is a notable difference: I do not see "Front Mic" as
an option for Input Source. My options are "Mic", "Line", and "CD".

My channel mode is set to 6, if that makes any difference.

Do I need to split this out to a separate bug?

Bug description:
Reporting this bug for another user...

In MacBook and MacBookPro 5,1 (aluminium, late 2008) the soundcard works out of the box only with headphones, and to turn speakers on it is necessary to manually set the 6 channels. In that case, sound is heard both on headphones and right and center speaker; the left speaker doesn't work yet.

This bug is confirmed by several users, see the additional information attached.
