Hi all,
I'm working on my laptop to better use mic, headphone and speaker (internal and external).
The laptop is a Vaio VGN-FW11E and the sound card is
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Sony Corporation Unknown device 9035 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at d5200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?> Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

With a standard Fedora 9 installation (updated) I can use the speaker and an external mic. I can use also the camera but not the internal mic (that I think is present near the camera). Alsamixer and kmix do not show options for mic other that "Front mic". When I insert headphone, the speaker continue to sound (and also the headphone).
I tried to use other models for hda-intel driver using the options files in /etc/modprobe.d whith options snd-hda-intel model=hippo headphone inserting mute the speaker, but mic do not work kmix shows mic - front mic - line - CD as input source but noone works without an external mic
with options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd is the same but with less options as input and output.
Someone can help my to found the right model?
Alsa modules installed are alsa-lib-1.0.17-2.fc9.i386.rpm alsa-utils-1.0.17-2.fc9.i386.rpm
Have you removed PulseAudio? No, not disabled... Warning, some other things may stop working, but if what you need works it may be a lesser evil. FC10 could be made to work with PA if you wasted^H^H^H^H^H^Hspent enough time onthe config, and FC11 has taken away the sliders. I have been unable to get sound working at all on FC11, I just have put that on my personal blocker list for installing FC11 on a machine which needs sound.
