intel hd audio microphone

[Lubos Vrbka <lubos.vrbka@gmail.com>]

hi guys,

was anyone succesful in getting microphone on intel high definition 
audio card to work? playback works fine, recording not (i cannot use 
skype, for example). i have alsa/oss compiled into kernel (2.6.17 from 
unstable, i'm running testing)

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xdc240000 irq 66


alsamixer displays in [Capture] section 3 items - line, mic, and 
capture. i can set input level only for capture. i think applications 
want to use mic, that is present, however no controls can be changed :( 
(i can select it using the 'space' key in the alsamixer, but that's all...)

i saw this isuue asked several times on the web, however no solution :( 
if you need more information please let me know.

please cc me on replies, i'm not subscribed to this list.

thank you in advance for any hints. best regards,
