Can't get microphone to work on ThinkPad Z60m Ubuntu

Bug Description

I installed Feisty 7.04 and can't get the mic to work, no matter what I've tried. (I've used three different microphones to make sure it wasn't the mic that was the problem.) I've tried alsamixer, sound controls, which show the mic at 100%; every possible thing is unmuted; I can hear myself through the mic on the laptop speakers, but nothing gets recorded. Nothing goes through on a Skype test call. Based on what I read in another thread, the lspci output file could be of some help:

Is there any other information you require? I'd like to get this taken care of soon; I know it's a pain in the tail, but...I'm thinking of switching to PCLinuxOS because it seems not to have the same sound problems as Ubuntu. Or will that be one of the improvements in the new version?

Never mind. I switched to Sabayon Linux, and everything works, including the microphone. It's a far better OS than Ubuntu for ThinkPad users, I believe.

Still, if you folks want Ubuntu to be as user friendly as you say it is, this bug should be fixed.

Bye! Off to Sabayon, where everything works!

Hi,
on my Z60m the microphone works perfectly, the only problem
is that it is called "Capture".
I think it's not a bug since it has always worked in dapper, edgy, feisty and gutsy.

I have the same hardware and works perfectly.
The original bug reporter uninstalled Ubuntu and
nobody ever reported it again.
If anybody else sees it again please reopen!
