Bug Description

using Ubuntu Edgy, on a three-months old laptop ACER 5102, AMD64 x2. My sound card is detected by Windows as Realtec HD. I have the following problems in Linux

    * Right balanced sound! When Ubuntu starts, only the right speaker works. If I go to the mixer and play with the balance, after two or three times I move the bars, the sound gets balanced to both speakers. I tried to solved this, but using a rexima command in one of the scripts, but it was the one that works only when I get into the terminal. I will have to find the init script that works when I get to gnome
    * The worst problem is this one: I can't get sound in! Microphone and line in gives no input to programs such as Audacity, Ekiga etc, so I have to log in to Windows in order to make recordings and talk to VoIp phone.
      If this helps, Windows appears to recognise the sound card as TWO devices. When I try to record in windows, I have to select as a device the Realtec HD Sound IN and when I play the Realtec HD Sound out.

Fixed in upstream 1.0.14rc1.

Note that alsa applications will sigsegv upon attempting to record if a capture source is not selected.

No I installed 1.0.14 rc2, it doesn't appear to have fixed the issues

* Sound still comes only from the right speaker

* Error displayed when booting: /alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:562:hda_intel:azx_get_response timeout , switching to single_cmd mode

* This sound device has two inputs: LINE IN and MIC IN
Recording is now possible both from microphone or from line in BUT
there are not separate control channels for the recording and the playback. It is possible the adjust the volume from both input devices only by the iGAIN control, which means you can't mix them or adjust their sound levels to be equal.
