crouton Manjaro celme target created

I made some modifications to the core, audio and a few other targets. I created a couple of targets. I made the celme target to stick everything together and update the configs.

Just running through a test run to see how well the install works 🙂

Alienware m17x running Manjaro – Missing internal microphone port in pavucontrol solved.

I made a video earlier about setting your microphone settings for a user from IRC. Through the help of the people in the channel and his own smarts he was able to find a solution. Here is what resolved the issue:
He added a file with a name along the lines of internal-mic.conf to the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, Then added the following information to the file:


#/etc/modprobe.d/internal-mic.conf

options snd-usb-audio index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

#ref     Reference board
#no-jd   BIOS setup but without jack-detection
#intel   Intel DG45* mobos
#dell-m6-amic   Dell desktops/laptops with analog mics
#best#dell-m6-dmic  Dell desktops/laptops with digital mics
#x#dell-m6  Dell desktops/laptops with both type of mics
#x#dell-eq  Dell desktops/laptops
#alienware  Alienware M17x
#auto    BIOS setup (default)
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6-dmic

Announcement – Big post coming about PulseAudio

I have had issues with Pulse Audio and my video card for over a year. Some of the releases have made things a lot easier however most Linux distributions still do not detect my ASUS GT440 correctly. I know of a fix to force the use of the video card for HDMI audio however when I do this my onboard audio disappears completely from PA. I have attempted to resolve this issue with the PA developers, After being asked to supply information to find a solution, which I gladly supplied. I then waited for him to let me know whether a solution was available, no reply.

This issue of having half working audio is not pleasing to me. I either to choose between the ability to record with the microphone and never hear audio on my system or hear audio and lose access to my  microphone.

This post requires me to install and configure a new Linux system, Possibly multiple distributions to show that this is a PA issue and not a distribution specific issue.
