Base Board Information
Manufacturer: LENOVO
Product Name: LNVNB161216
Version: SDK0J40709 WIN
Serial Number: R912H66W
Audio Codec: Realtek ALC257
Product: 81X2
Kernel: 7.1.4-1-cachyos
The internal microphone isn't capturing any sound. When trying to record, it only picks up interference noise. Nothing is wrong with the microphone itself, because it worked fine in my previous Windows installation.
Things I've tried:
- Installed `sof-firmware` `alsa-firmware` `alsa-ucm-conf`
- Made a file in `/etc/modprobe.d/amd-mic-fix.conf` containing blacklist snd_rn_pci_acp3x and rebooted
- Confirmed that I'm using the right microphone in pavucontrols
I'm using pipewire. I also resetted any changes I made.
