I realised my internal microphone on my Dell Precision m6500 wasn't working in SL6 x64. Easy fix for future reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628003 which tells you to do this: #gedit /etc/modprobe.d/dist-alsa.conf Then add to the bottom of the file, this: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14 reboot obviously. For the archives in case this hasn't been discussed. ~~ John H.
