Setup the microphone
====================

Open a terminal and get root:

        sudo -i

Now copy and paste this 5 lines of code in that terminal:


        oi=false; o="options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba-s06"
        for cf in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf; do
        grep -q "^$o$" $cf && oi=true; done
        $oi && echo "$o">>alsa-base.conf
        which amixer || sudo apt-get install alsa-utils


Exit from root-shell:

        exit

Next, open gnome-session-properties:

        gnome-session-properties

and add this command to the autostart list:

        Name:    Fix Microphon Imput
        Command: amixer sset 'Input Source' 'Int DMic' >/dev/null 2>&1
        Comment: switch microphone to the right imput
        

after the next boot, the microphone should work
