[Bug 1414706] Re: [20ALCTO1WW, Realtek ALC292, Black Mic, Left][Lenovo ThinkPad X240] external mic has no sound at all

 

This seems to be a tricky one. I was wondering if we can also make a coef dump. To do that, please do the following:
 1) revert any changes done with hdajackretask or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
 2) on top of 14.04, install the latest daily dkms package (from the alsa-daily PPA)
 3) reboot
 4) (as root)  echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_codec/parameters/dump_coef
 5) start recording to headset mic and confirm that the bug is present (records buzzing noise instead of clear sound)
 6) while recording is active, dump alsa-info
 7) attach alsa-info (or a link to it) here

Thanks!

Title:
  [20ALCTO1WW, Realtek ALC292, Black Mic, Left][Lenovo ThinkPad X240]
  external mic has no sound at all

Status in HWE Next Project:
  Confirmed
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During this test, an error dialog was thrown, reading:

  The following mixer control(s) might be incorrectly set: 
  Mic is at 0.0%

  Mic is muted
  Please try to fix that (e g by running 
  "alsamixer -D hw:PCH" in a terminal) and see if that solves the problem.
  Would you like to continue troubleshooting anyway?

  However, the System Settings... -> Sound UI shows the mic as not
  muted. When I tried running the alsamixer command, I saw mic and mic-
  boost were both showing 0; I cranked them up to 100, but it made no
  difference. I also tried re-running this command with the mic/mic-
  boost still set to 100 and it threw the same error.
