[11:30] <Gothfunc> hi
[11:33] <Gothfunc> i was using oss on karmic, but since a reinstall alsa isn't performing well on the app i need to use and i need to switch back to oss.  problem is no devices are showing up in the app for oss.  am i right in saying that it wasn't really oss anyway, just emulated?
[15:32] <ronj> Hi, I just upgraded my Dell XPS 16 to Ubuntu 11.04. Microphone used to work great under 10.04 and 10.10, but here I can't get it to work. Pulseaudio is running and in my sound preferences I tried the various "Hardware Profiles", as well as differents "Connectors"... Could anybody help me diagnose? Note: I'm running vanilla Ubuntu at the moment, not UbuntuStudio; I'm asking here because #ubuntu is overcrowded and more audio-compete
[15:32] <ronj> nt people are here
[15:33] <ronj> Google doesn't return much
[15:34] <holstein> ronj: o/
[15:34] <holstein> just like usual
[15:34] <holstein> dont trust the labels
[15:34] <holstein> i would go into alsamixer
[15:35] <holstein> and install pavucontrol
[15:35] <holstein> and literally carefully tweak *everything*
[15:35] <holstein> you'll probably just find it mis-labeled somewhere
[15:35] <holstein> ronj: if #ubuntu is overcrowded
[15:35] <holstein> you can always try #ubuntu-beginners
[15:42] <ronj> holstein, thanks for the help. I tried all the combinations "Internal audio profile" with "Input Device" in pavucontrol, without success. I don't know alsamixer well, what do you suggest?
[15:43] <ronj> I also tried adding options snd-hda-intel model=dell-md6 and options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq in my alsa-base.conf as mentioned here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1574035 , without success
[16:14] <ronj> got it solved thanks to the great support from #alsa: http://pastebin.com/VffUrrhL
