Troubleshooting
In order to get the sound and mic to work, you will need to append the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack You will then need to run the following: update-modules /etc/init.d/alsasound restart alsamixer

In alsamixer make sure nothing is muted and make sure the Digital Input Source is set to Digital Mic 1. Make sure you hit Tab and make sure that none of the capture settings are muted either. The mux settings can be left at 0.
