The computer has two microphones. The first is an internal built in above the keyboard on the right. This is the one I have always used on the past. I believe it's designated '0' in the Alsa settings.
The other mic is a (I think) pci mic/headphone combo. I have never used this mic effectively, but have occasionally used the headphone jack associated with it. This jack mic is designated '1' in one file, and I think '6' in another. The only reason it is unused is because I don't really like the using headphone/mic deal. It's inconvenient for typing with the cord.
I know that the alsa in Lighthouse64 514b is capable of dealing with the internal mic because it used to work... I thought it had worked out of the box, but I have considered that maybe I did something and just don't remember. It was a while ago, and if I did and a lib or hack, and it worked right away on the first try... it's possible I just don't remember doing it.
Anyway, working on Upup and will report back shortly.
