Same here with the same Sigmatel Codec.
I'm sure it's a flaw in the driver.
The chip offers boosting the input level up to +40dB but the driver
doesn't seem to use it.

same problem here - been through the suggestions above -- mic still
doesn't work

is there a chance some voice recognition software is interfering?

Similar problem: Dimension E510 with Sigmatel on-board audio.

I can only use the microphone if I check "boost", and hold it 2 inches
from my mouth. I tried to microphones, each of which I had used fine on
other computers.

I was on the phone with Dell, and they claimed that since it was
on-board audio, it would never work well !!

We downloaded and re-installed the sigmatel driver (and they also
wanted to do PC reinstall - but I've not done anything to the system
since I bought it last week!).

Seems to me there is a problem with the sigmatel driver.

I installed a sound card, and plugged the microphone (which works fine
on my co-workers laptop, for example), into it, and I still have the
same problem. So it can't be the driver of the sound card...., but
where **is** the problem?

My name is Idan and I have a Dell Latitude D810 with the same problem
more or less.
my mic is sometimes working and some time not.
I couldn't really understand what is the method behind it.

I have a guessing that it's somehow related to power plug in and
out....

Hi there.

I have the Inspiron 6000 as well and my problem is the Headphone output jack
is not working. The built in speakers work but when I plug in the headphones
nothing plays out of them.

I have a feeling this is the same issue as with the microphone input
(directly beside the headphone output). They probably work off the same card
and require updated drivers for Vista.

If anyone finds a fix for this please let me know.

Thanks

Terry

Have you talked to Dell Support? They would be the first ones to talk to about this.
