An update on my experience with the Eee 900 microphone in Hardy...

Using the custom kernel assembled by eeeuser forum member "adamm" has
solved the problem.  I do not know the specifics of what caused the mic
to start working, but the custom kernel discussion can be found here:

http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=32303&p=1

...and the Web site devoted to the custom kernel is here:

http://www.array.org/ubuntu/index.html

I'm very satisfied with this setup on the Eee 900.  Perhaps someone here
can weed through and pick out the exact customization that fixed the
microphone issue?

Status in “alsa-driver” source package 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.
