I Googled > around and found the solution in a 2003 message from Stuart Barkley: With 6.1 my patch is no longer necessary. The igain control can now be used to enable the microphone preamp. The support has been in ac97.c but disabled for a while. Recently this code was enabled and looks like it should be in the final 6.1 release. The support in 6.1 is much better than my hack which just always enabled the mic gain. I'm not sure if it is documented very well anywhere, nor do I know where I would expect this to be documented since it only applies to ac97 codecs. -- I've never been lost; I was once bewildered for three days, but never lost! -- Daniel Boone
