snd_hda + ALC892 microphone problem after upgrading to latest 8-stable (2012/12/18)

rivan · Dec 20, 2012

Hello,
few days ago I updated my system to latest 8-stable code (I was kinda tracking 8-stable, but not that frequently, my last update was maybe 6-10 months ago), and since then my microphone is not working; everything else regarding sound works perfectly - there is playback in both speakers and headset (separated), but microphone is not working no matter if I plug it in front or back jack. I searched through sound and snd_hda manual pages but I couldn't find anything which could give me some pointers (from what I can see all associations there look fine). There is also one more weird thing, if I go to volume controls in gnome there microphone seems to be at 0 level, but when I try to increase its volume it is actually increasing igain and I start getting statics in speakers (or headset).

Here is /dev/sndstat with verbose level=4

Kernel output when kldloading snd_hda with same verbosity is attached with post (it is very long

)

I am not sure whether it is important - I was also trying to test microphone using rawrec and rawplay from ports/audio, and while using rawrec I got more messages (when in verbose mode) - also attached

wblock@ - Thanks for suggestion

here is snd_hda verbose output http://pastebin.com/46VvLJKH

and here are messages popping out when trying to record sound from mic http://pastebin.com/ceW56kpR
