Since no-one answered in my post about my issue with the built-in iMac microphone, I'm considering buying an external USB one. Any advise on vendor/model to recommend and/or to avoid ?

Thanks !

So that this person can help me setting up mine

Can't believe it :(

One thing to mention: when looking at the Intel iMac FAQ sound section, I noticed that I don't have the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base but one called /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Hi there,

I have an issue with the builtin microphone of my iMac: it seems to be detected, but nothing gets recorded whatever I select as source (Front Mic, Mic or Line) while all captures...

Will this behave the same way as if I was running the LiveCD for an installation? I mean will this auto-detect the right server to use?

Yes, I have looked for update but nothing related so far. Would it help to completely remove and reinstall Xorg? If yes, what's the best way to do it so that "it" detects correctly the right driver...

Well, I can't find the bug report on launchpad ... do you have the ID?

Despite removing and reinstalling modules and fglrx, it still does not work ... so let's go for (I hope) a very basic question: how can I remove/reinstall completely X in order to recover ?

Once more, after an upgrade of kernel, the fglrx module does not work anymore. I have tried to remove the xorg-driver-fglrx package, and then install the xorg-driver-fglrx and the amdcccle one,...

In my initial post I'm pointing the following:

Hi there,

After the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, there is no sound anymore, despite the fact that Alsa detects a card:

Hi there,

I have a similar issue with no working sound ... have already checked mute ;) ... alsa force-reload doesn't help and even give an error:

Since it was working (almost) fine before the upgrade, I guess it's more an urban legend ...

This is an Apple forum.

Anyone here having his french keyboard working correctly under 8.10 ??? There are keys like Alt which are also not working, so this is a really annoying issue. And what...

Hi there,

After the upgrade to 8.10, my keyboard mapping is "******".

The thing is that it is well set to Mac French keyboard, but the functions keys are not mapped, so can't use them ......

A reboot solved the problem

Hi there

I have tried to do the Ubuntu way, and now I'm back with X running, but still not with fglrx :(

When running fglrxinfo or glxinfo, the result is always:

Hi there,

After the Kubuntu 8.10 upgrade, I've seen a drop in X performance ... indeed, Xorg has been updated and thus I need a new build/version of ATI's proprietary driver.

I have installed manually the latest version of the ATI drivers following this procedure. The shutdown is now working fine, despite the fact that the display while shutting down is weird. It seems...

I've just tried envy, which claims that latest version is 8.3 ... but nothing happens, I guess linked to this python error:

Well, I have already tried that solution, but it does not solve that strange behavior; I have in fact remove the launch of atieventsd using
