Hi, long time I haven't come here. This time I installed puppystudio3.3 (based on lucid) on a benqjoybook laptop. The built-in microphone is staying deaf while working under windows.
The sound card is this:
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
# Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it anyway)
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist saa7134-alsa ; : ; }
# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options bt87x index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options saa7134-alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-us122l index=-2
options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2
options snd-usb-caiaq index=-2
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
This snd-hda-intel I should use, is it a pet package or a line to insert?
I'm using puppy studio because of the low latency kernel and the fact that music software is already installed. I tried slacko just before but installing ardour, hydrogen and such was not easy for me..
Ok, I tried all the configurations you gave me and in the links for alsa.conf and alsa-base.conf but it's no changing anything: there's sound output but nothing in internal and external mics, and the alsamixer still looks like the picture I've already posted: http://rapidshare.com/files/2163774213/sound.png
This was a Debian Wheezy fix I posted for my internal mic on my eeepc.
I can't say it will fix your SlackO Puppy problem Edit: opps I meant puppystudio3.3 . Just giving out info is all I am doing. Maybe one of the 2 threads will help. Maybe not.
Thank you Roky, I tried your posts but no difference. On my pc, the file asound.conf is located in /etc, I have a directory called /var/lib/alsa/ but it's empty, is it normal?

goods news you still get sound with module snd-hda-intel, thats what I wanted to check.
with the lines you added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
Hi, I've tried the 3 different lines but no change: still sound output but no mic input. I also installed the alsa1.0.24.pet with still no change and removed it.
Your screen shot of the AlsaMixer capture screen shows only the first eight capture controls. What other controls show when you use your right-arrow key to move beyond the "Capture" control?
Having never seen a Conexant Cx20551, I don't know what the "Mix" control does, but it might be interesting to turn CAPTURE on for it, if possible. Perhaps you have already tried that.

Do I have to use a slacko live CD or is there another way to test?
if you've got usb drive that is easier without having to use up media, you can use Puppy Universal Installer (usually in the setup menu). Download the ISO image first.
I have a directory called /var/lib/alsa/ but it's empty, is it normal?
Hmm, I booted up into my MacPUP 529 frugal install. My /var/lib/alsa directory is empty also. So I guess that is normal. I went ahead and mounted in pmount my Semplice and AntiX installs and looked at /var/lib/alsa directories also.
They were empty. This is on my IBM M41 Desktop Dual ide hard drive quad booter test box instead of my eeepc. I don't know why though I have stuff inside of my eeepc /var/lib/alsa directory though and not in this IBM with the same AntiX distro, Must be a hardware thing I guess. I have no mic plugged in though on this Desktop when I boot a kernel though.
Like I said. I was not sure my fixes would apply to your BenQ or would help or not. I have a
npierce: I tried but I cannot turn the mix levels on.
I have booted from a slacko on a live usb and I got exactly the same results than for puppy studio (no mic input) so the problem seems to concern puppy and benq!
