F9 eeePC Microfone not working

[schnullerbacke]

I tried to install F9 at my eeePC 900. One of the most annoying things here is I can't make my microfone work. Every setup using Pulseaudio enabling the built in Mic. I have tried, yet the playback remains silent. same thing happen to use Skype Testcall. Sound is working like a charme, only Mic is not working.
Someone was trying to setup Ubuntu at eeepc and reported back mic will not work by default. Finally they could fix this prob with a tool from Debian called "module-assistant"
If there is anyone who could help me in this one, iwould be very happy to dump my preinstalled Xandros.

here is what lspci -vvv gives:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did it work in F8? F9 has quite a few teething problems that will take a few weeks to soothe, they've even removed the system-config-soundcard interface, the emphasis is now on having stuff like sound work by default - clearly in your case it is only partially successful. It might be worth posting a bugzilla, after a week or so.

Meanwhile I was testing with eeedora which is based on F8 but the Sound here isn't working at all, but it might be I have to install to the harddisk and do a little bit tweaking to get it work. Right away I've only test it with a Live-CD.

I have sound working ok in F8 on the eee pc, although I've had to unmute it sometimes (Not sure why) once by typing 'alsaunmute' (as root) and another time when that didn't work I had to install alsamixergui and enable iSpeaker on the far rhs. I also uninstalled alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

I have installed Fedora 9 few days ago and so far everything works well. Just only internal microphone doesn’t work at all.
I tried to follow the instruction here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EeePc but it doesn’t work. I can see that system can work just with external mic.
Is there any solution to make monitor microphone and Skype working under Fedora 9?!

Right now I have not found a way to make the internal mic work. My problem is that I have the eeepc 900 which is somehow a little different from the eeepc 701. If you have an eeepc 701 you might get the mic working. I have sound and internal microphone working on an eeepc 701 by following the instructions for installing eeedora of the eeedora project.
You have to set in the sound options from skype to use hda-intel(hw:0), that fixed the problem for me with the eeepc 701. But with the eeepc 900 still no luck.

I have got eeepc 900

I found one person who did fix the problem for his system at post # 16 of quickfire http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=290803
Unfortunately it is too hard for myself to follow that way and fix the problem. I home someone experienced will make the patch to make microphone working. Until then I am going to use Mandriva 2008.1 which start everything from the box on EEEpc 900.
