The comment above applies to both the EeePC 70x and EeePC 900 series (I
can't speak for the EeePC 901 and EeePC 1000). They both do not have
working microphones on a Ubuntu 8.04 install. However each has different
sound hardware and a different fix.

EeePC 70x - Adding "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig" to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is a reported fix.

EeePC 900 - Adding "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to /etc/modprobe.d
/alsa-base is a reported partial fix to get the microphone hardware
operating. However most people still cannot record reliably or with any
volume. A full fix is not yet determined. The microphone done work under
Xandros and XP.

Status in Source Package "alsa-driver" in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: alsa-base

The Asus EeePC is a popular subnotebook computer.

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) the internal microphone does not function.

Expected function: Microphone works out-of-the-box

According to the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#head-e0a73989f4da231d3f1b623f795ffc86e0d6a192
"options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig" needs to be added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

It would be great if this could be made to would work out-of-the-box with 8.04.1 or Intrepid.
