Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the onboard mic to
work on an Asus laptop. The driver is hda-intel.
I know the driver is correct, sound works, but the onboard microphone is
not even recognized. Alsamixer only displays 1 master and 1 Capture
slider, and the toggle for Capture only mutes or turns on the device
(which is not the mic).

There are numerous different configurations for hardware using this
driver.
The first try would be to check that there is an options line for the
driver in the alsa configuration file, and that it reads
options snd-hda-intel model=asus
On debian-type systems this file is normally in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base,
which seems not to exist by default in Slack 12. You could try creating
it in accordance with the advice given in /etc/modprobe.conf

The model setting dictates which inputs and outputs are expected by the
driver to be present.
There are numerous other model settings depending on the actual chip used
on your motherboard, but I don't have the refs to hand right now, so my
current best advice is to use the wiki at the alsa page.
I've tried all the options -asus, -asus-laptop, and some others...It
just does not pick up the internal mic. I've also searched the net and
the alsa site, and all I came up with was something unrelated about
Skype not interacting with the mic correctly.
I just thought maybe someone here ran into the problem, fixed it and was
keeping it a secret.
Thanks for the response, anyway.

Don't know if this helps but from the Asus A8JS Howto (I've got one
running slackware 12.0) it reads:
[...]
Intel-HD-Audio (included in alsa-drivers as well as the kernel itself)
Works only with additional Kernel parameters (alsa 1.0.13)
"options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack" has to be added
to the file /etc/modules.d/alsa, after that a modules-update and
reboot
is necessary to get sound working. The Alsa team is informed about
that,
perhaps we won't have to do this too long.
So I tried again: with model=3stack everything is working, but the
external
microphone. With model=laptop everything is working, but the internal
microphone.
So you have the choice
[...]
Mine is working now with the external mic, but I've used the onboard
one
before I got an external headset.

I installed the latest alsa-driver snapshot, ran alsaconf, and
everything works fine.
