Public bug reported:

Hi,

I cannot force Ubuntu to work with the integrated sound-card in my
laptop it's Dell XPS M1530 and sound card is STAC9228.

Actually it captures sound from mic but its volume is very low, it's too
quiet and needs boost. I already tried few combinations with:

gnome-alsamixer
alsamixer
pavucontrol
and of course I tried following ALSA MODELS:

STAC9227/9228/9229/927x
=======================
  ref		Reference board
  ref-no-jd	Reference board without HP/Mic jack detection
  3stack	D965 3stack
  5stack	D965 5stack + SPDIF
  5stack-no-fp	D965 5stack without front panel
  dell-3stack	Dell Dimension E520
  dell-bios	Fixes with Dell BIOS setup
  volknob	Fixes with volume-knob widget 0x24
  auto		BIOS setup (default)


Unfortunately it's still very quiet.

I also read on forums (2008ish) that people already had issues with this
configuration but they were able to handle it switching input device to
"digital mic", but I don't have such an option in modern Ubuntu..

Here is my alsa-info result: http://www.alsa-
project.org/db/?f=7af515217ca211337c5c364231b7480eb5575bcb

Please advice things I could check. Thank you.
