This patch was merged to 7-stable 4 months ago, together with the rest 
of driver changes. 7.2-PRERELEASE had snd_hda driver almost (or may be 
even completely) identical to the CURRENT of that time. So I don't 
understand the difference. To find any difference in driver operation, 
try to compare verbose dmesg of the driver in working and not working 
systems.

By the way, are you sure that problem is in driver itself? Can't be 
linuxulator, Skype, settings or whatever else problem? What are you 
using to record sound? Have you tried to use something trivial like 
rawrec and rawplay?

What microphone are you using: external or internal? Have you tried 
another one? Are you recording silence or some noise? What mixer 
settings do you use?

PS: Next time, please, put file somewhere. Inlining broke lines, making 
difficult to read it.
