not all of them but many other... no luck

Which one should I used ?
===================\\
I use both skype and sound recorder to test mic.

I have installed Gnome-Alsamixer , and mic volume is at max and not mute.
I have check in Alsamixer and mic was MM, so I do press key "m" to unmute the mic, from one of libex 's tutoring.

I hope libex will be answering our problems soon.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you Actionparsnip.
i KNOW THIS PAGE BEFORE, BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR ANSWER.
I decide to stick my head in and try to follow through and suceed.
THANKS AND THANKS.

I solved the issue., after 10 days of search and experiments on so many options and methods.
So I decide to do details tutorial here for the newbies specially.

Done,
dv1000, ( dv1729tu ) has succesfully working external mic jack.
Confirm with 12.04 fresh installed,
(after test succesful with 2 partitions of old-"staled" installed 12.04,
I decide to do fresh install to proof the tutorial)

10.04 Lts (in another partition of my dv1000) is not working at all,
eventhough using the same procedure.
Mic is still not working under Ubuntu 10.04.

******* If any can get it work please help report it here ************************
==============================================

Please note other models should not use this tutorial, especially in NO.2.
Each brand of computer and each models need different "codes" to add to the last line,
or it may need to put "#" in front of certain "lines of codes" to get it to work.
Or even it may need to do other "ways"

Please seach in Google for your specific models if you have problems wit these kinds.
When you are out of luck that Ubuntu will work out of the box.

In my experices more than 100+ installations, over the last 3+ years,
 I faced only 10+ machines that will be this difficult,

So I would say UBUNTU is very good,

and 1000 times better than MS window,
since more than 600+ installation of MS Windows, over the last 15+ years
I need to install drivers always with every MS windows.
==============================================
How I do it.

from
http://askubuntu.com/questions/75828/external-microphone-not-working

Answer 1 did Not work
I was at that page, I follow 1st answer,
you could see in my report above,
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=680a704fae845208e25331fb97db5baddd9f3ff6
 it has exactly the End Options add on as the Answer 1's tutorial.
------------------

Answer 2 Works
>>>>>> but with pain. <<<<<

For 12.04 in Synaptic I cannot install "linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic".
copy and paste that in the search box of Synaptic and nothing come up.

After more than 4 hours,
trying to find how to install that BACKPORT in Ubuntu 12.04,
I gave up.

So I choosed to ignore that first part of the tutorial and go to next step.

So I decide to do

1.
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

you will have....................>

# autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1
install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2
install sound-slot-3 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-3
install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4
install sound-slot-5 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-5
install sound-slot-6 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-6
install sound-slot-7 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-7

# Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules
install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-seq ; }
#
# Workaround at bug #499695 (reverted in Ubuntu see LP #319505)
install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-pcm-oss ; : ; }
install snd-mixer /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-mixer-oss ; : ; }
install snd-seq /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-seq-midi ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-seq-oss ; : ; }
#
install snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-seq-midi ; : ; }
# Cause optional modules to be loaded above sound card driver modules
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-emu10k1-synth ; }
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist snd-seq ; }

# Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it anyway)
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist saa7134-alsa ; : ; }
# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options bt87x index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options saa7134-alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-caiaq index=-2
options snd-usb-ua101 index=-2
options snd-usb-us122l index=-2
options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2

2. just add the following line

options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes

to the last line of the "alsa-base.conf"

so you will have below, take notice of the last line............>

# autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1
.............
...............................
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes
====================================
3. REBOOT
======================================
After reboot.

4. go to "System Setting" and then double click on "Sound".

then Click on INPUT. TAB and "Unmute" the microphone.

(I found it is muted by default, and many other confirm this in many posts in the ubuntuforum.org)
(How ever my "old-staled" installed Ubuntu 12.04, I did not have to unmute the microphone,
it worked after the reboot, that may due to many experiments to solve the issues earlier)

NOW click on Sound Recorder , or install Skype and try to record the sound from the external mic.
IT SHOULD WORK.

=======================================
This tutorial is for Ubuntu 12.04 with "hp dv1000"
iF YOU HAVE other models please do "GOOGLE"
