Dell Latitude E5400 to E6500 Microphone issue
My integrated microphone did not work after installing ubuntu maverick 10.10. What a shame. I found a quick and easy solution though.

This solution should work for integrated microphone issues with Dell Latitude E5410, E5510, E6410 and E6510.
Register with the ubuntuforums and thank lidex for this, I just found, copy and paste this:
Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Open this file for editing:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14
Code:
alsamixer
Press <F3> to show playback levels. <F4> selects capture levels [or use <Tab>]
Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels. <M> to mute/unmute.
Go to "System ->Preferences ->Sound" and make sure the correct soundcard is default and adjust your profile on the hardware tab.
Now if that doesn't work, upgrade your alsa install using the alsa-upgrade link in my sig.
