Internal laptop Microphone with very low gain - HDA-Intel SigmaTel STAC9228

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever been able to resolve the issues that exist with the sound card below and the low gain of the internal microphone of the laptop. The mic works and so does the external one when plugged, the problem is that the volume of everything captured by the internal mic extremely low and almost impossible to hear sometimes. The external mic works very well and the sound it captures is very audible.

Any ideas as to what my resolve the issue?

I have tried the line below but it didn't change anything apart from making the external microphone not work properly.

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack

Thanks
