Hi Takashi-san,

I'm experiencing DC offset with the microphone on 2.6.24 (Ubuntu 8.04
LTS x86-64). I can see on Audacity that the DC offset that varies with
the recording capture level. Plus, the mixer playback->mic-boost
muting enables/disables mic-boost in recording.

It feels like the ALC883 pins aren't configured quite right. The mobo
is an Asus P5E-VM with current BIOS [1]

What's the routine to debug this? Would it help to install windows,
dump the register space and compare?

Thanks in advance,
  Daniel
