    Mic Not Working: GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H with Realtek ALC889A audio

    I tried following the directions on the HDA Sound HowTo. When I first boot, the mic works, but if I try using anything that requires capture the mic seems to get shut off. If I use sound recorder, I can record my voice, but when I play it back it is shortened so I basically only hear parts of the beginning and end.

    The problem I have with the HowTo is that I don't have my model listed in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz. Here's what the HowTo asks to output:
    Code:
    x@x:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
    Codec: Realtek ALC889A
    and here's my lspci:
    Code:
    x@x:~$ lspci | grep Audio
    00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
    but when Ilook in that ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz file I couldn't find an entry for ALC889A. Since I can't continue with the troubleshooting, what is the next step?

    Anyone have this board w/ a working mic?

    Well, it's been a while and for the time being I've been getting by with a C-Media USB headset that allows input/output. Anyone get the soundcard on the Gigabyte mobo working?
