I'm having trouble to get mic working on this damn Samsung R540. I tried
using linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 (stable/lenny) and
linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 (backports) with no success. Then I
downloaded latest alsa-driver and tried to compile it against
linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686, but this time I encountered missing files
in linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.5-common. (Reported the issue to the
debian-kernel ml.) Then I downloaded a vanilla linux-2.6.32.5 and
followed below steps.
1) Copied config-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.5/.config.
Ran "make menuconfig" and loaded ".config". Later, "make oldconfig",
"make prepare", and "make scripts".

Stupid question but did you select the sound capture source and set the
capture volume in the sound mixer application ?
I have a sound card that uses the snd-hda-intel driver as well and had
the same problem, only to find that in addition to the mic volume, I had
to set the Capture volume as well to get the mic working.

My bad, I should have given my alsamixer configurations. They are as
follows.
Master: 95
PCM: 100<>100
Front Mi: 100<>100
Mic Boos: 67<>67
Beep: Muted
Speaker: 90<>90
Capture: 100<>100
Digital: 100<>100
Regards.

The setting i'm talking about is in the Input mixer settings.

Hrm... Where can I reach that configuration?
BTW, I made some progress. In the dmesg output (attached with the post)
I spotted below lines.
[ 7.948049] hda_codec: ALC269: BIOS auto-probing.
[ 7.948757] input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input9
[ 7.951086] HDA Intel 0000:01:00.1: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[ 7.951126] HDA Intel 0000:01:00.1: setting latency timer to 64
And by looking at Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt for
ALC269, I tried loading sound modules with "model" option set to one of
"basic", "quanta", "eeepc-p703", "eeepc-p901", "fujitsu", "lifebook"
values. Here are my observations: "basic", "lifebook", and "quanta"
managed to get that "ssshhh" noise from the speakers. I can hear the
sound of my fingers typing from the speakers. When I talk to the mic, I
can also hear my own voice. But arecord still doesn't record anything.
Among those working three combinations, "basic" and "lifebook" bring
much more configuration properties to the alsamixer screen compared to
"quanta". "basic" brings "Front Mic" configuration, and "lifebook"
brings "Dock Mick" configuration to the alsamixer screen. Still
scratching. Any ideas?
Regards.
