Problem with the microfone on asus g50v

Asked by TMX

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my asus g50v. my problem is with the microphone, i can't get it running, on skype or any other program. when i try to adjust from the sound card it shows that it's not getting any input?

i have tried connecting a blue tooth device dr-bt21 sony but in skype it will work for 5 to 10 seconds after it will disconnect.

can anybody help at least trying to fix the laptops mike so it will enable sound in skype or sound recorder?

Try

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

add this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode3

Save the new file and reboot, is it ok? Also make sure the sliders for volume are cranked and none are muted as well as run:

alsamixer

In terminal and do the same

yes it enabled the front mike on my computer something which was not shown in the alsa mixer before

the front mike works ok although my problem in the first is that i could not talk by skype on it or threw the headset device

reason why i am using a blue tooth headset is that the mike on this is excellent.

how can i enable the mike on the blue tooth device to work since when i selected from the:

 [ sound preferences/ hardware/ dr-bt21g (1output/1input telephony duplex 9hsp/hfp) ]

profile telephony duplex

and i go in input where it says "choose a device for input"

dr-bt21g my device

i can't selected

it stays on internal audio analog stereo
