Burgundaviawe haven't done much08:39
Burgundaviabynaz for short stuff08:39
tonyyarussoAnything I can get voice on once they fix my &$%# sound capture kernel regression/08:41
Burgundaviahmm, wonder if that is the issue I am running into as well08:41
tonyyarussoSo far confirmed on numerous Thinkpads.08:41

UbugtuMalone bug 42718 in linux-source-2.6.17 "Sound capture on Thinkpad T20, T21, T22 not working" [Medium,Confirmed]  08:43
crimsunsigh.08:44
crimsunI. would. like. to. stab. the. next. person. who. blindly. adds. random. comments. to. that. bug.08:44
tonyyarussoUh oh.  Am I one of them?08:45
crimsunjust because it doesn't work for you does NOT mean you have the same problem!08:45
tonyyarusso(The second one was a mistake - I didn't mean to say that twice)08:45
tonyyarussoI'm sorry...08:46
crimsunthere are FOUR different codecs mentioned in all those comments.08:46
=== tonyyarusso double checks
crimsunI'm going to take a walk before I get very angry.08:46
MadpilotLots of people "me too" on bugs with unrelated issues; I've noticed in in a number of bugs I follow08:47
tonyyarussoUm, is he mad at me, or other people?  I can't tell.08:48
tonyyarussoI guess I don't know enough to know whether I have the same problem, but it seemed the same to me.08:48
Burgundaviatonyyarusso: crimsun does a lot of bug triage. Sometimes he get angry08:49
Burgundaviait is ok08:49
tonyyarussoBurgundavia: Well, it's not really okay if I'm causing anger, because I should probably know better.  :(08:50
crimsuntonyyarusso: no, I'm not angry at anyone or any of those commenters.08:50
crimsuntonyyarusso: it's more a condition of "same symptom, must be the same bug!"08:51
tonyyarussocrimsun: Ah, makes sense.  Is there a doc about what tests should be done to determine if it's a similar bug for sound things, so I can check mine?08:51
crimsuntonyyarusso: sound issues are _always_ codec-dependent. Contrary to popular belief, many different codecs use the same driver.08:52
crimsuntonyyarusso: the first thing you should do is check your codec (tail -2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat , which is available if snd_pcm_oss is loaded)08:53
crimsuntonyyarusso: the second thing you should do is check the output from ``amixer'' for your particular sound device08:53
crimsuntonyyarusso: we've documented many of the known issues with various codecs on alsa.opensrc.org08:54
tonyyarussoI get "AD1981B", which means something to you, but I'm still clueless08:54
tonyyarussoAh, a site!  yay!08:54
=== tonyyarusso bookmarks
crimsuntonyyarusso: for instance, cs46xx is known to require four different toggles (not just mic and capture being unmuted and raised)08:54
crimsunyes, that's an analog devices codec implementing the ac'97 spec08:54
tonyyarussoOh my.  amixer spits out a lot of stuff08:55
crimsuntonyyarusso: a similar issue exists with the sigmatels (stac7xxx) on creative labs sound blaster live/audigy cards. You have to unmute and raise Analog Mix or AC9708:55
crimsunit's sometimes easier to use alsa's oss emulation perspective, because unmuting the mic there does several things that are distinct when using the alsa perspective08:57
crimsun(with any increase in finer-grain control comes complexity and thus possible confusion)08:57
crimsunwe're addressing this in feisty08:58

tonyyarusso"addressing" as in pondering what one earth to try, or are pretty confident there's a solution that just needs to be implemented, or somewhere in between?08:58
tonyyarusso(My girlfriend is getting frustrated by not being able to talk to me online, sorry ;)  )08:59
crimsuntonyyarusso: as in there's work to resolve it based on the codec(s) involved09:03
tonyyarussoAll right.09:04
tonyyarusso(I'm attempting to navigate this web site you linked to to find info, and I'm a little lost if you care to help)09:04
crimsunclick on your driver under Drivers09:05
