Thanks, I've now tried it, but still it doesn't work.

At least the right model is detected, because this is my laptop:

hda_codec.c:2352: hda_codec: model 'acer' is selected for config
1025:11e (Acer Aspire 5720z)

I also applied this patch for some extra debug output (and teach me a
bit about how registers change in response to alsamixer changes):

snd_hda_power_down(codec);

return err;
}

..and in the log, I have this when modifying the "Capture" control:
hda_codec.c:157: write verb 00000300 parm 0000a01a = 0
hda_codec.c:157: write verb 00000300 parm 0000901a = 0
Now I consulted the HDA specification, and I find this surprising:

Verb 3h (set Amplifier Gain/Mute) has the following payload bits:

15 Set Output Amp
14 Set Input Amp

...but the payloads that I logged (a01a and 901a) would correspond to
bit 15 being set, which is the Output Amp!

Does that seem immediately obvious to you?

I will dig some more. Thanks for the help so far.
