Hello,

On my Dell M1330 XPS I don't have a working internal microphone, which
apparently is connected to a digital capture device. Such a device is
never found by alsa (digital playback is). According to my Googling
efforts, it should work on this alsa, even without providing options in
/etc/modprobe.d
However, despite my efforts, I haven't been able to get the digital
capture working. Please tell me how to help you solving this.

Kind regards,
Sjoerd Hardeman
