[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#573743: alsa-base: Microphone not usable on Eee PC X 101 H either

[Axel K. Stammler]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2
Severity: normal


All the mixers, like Alsa Mixer and Gnome Alsa Mixer, list Mic Boost for playback but do
not offer the microphone for recording. BTW, I think the severity should be bumped up as
the netbook can only be used for playback but not for making phonecalls or recording
things using its (functioning) camera as long as the microphone is not working.
