[SOLVED] sigmatel audio

My laptop has sigma tel audio.
I find that pc speakers function but not input device like microphone. Seek advice about configuring the sound devices
Thanks

sigmatel is a bit uncommon
Run lspci in a terminal and post the result (preferably using the code option) so we know better what you have

What is the code option? How do I get it?
Thanks a lot

The code option - press the code button when you write the message - saves space for with long lists
You have an old AC97 - it should work
I have to mark this and come back to you

440FX - that's old
Have you checked all settings in audio - opened the volume control and checked that microphone does not have a red cross (double click the speaker next to the clock)

I have done them. I am not clear what systems I should select in Control Panel > Sound or Multimedia systems. On clicking Test not getting anything
Thanks

If you open the volume control
under File > Change device
That may help
