Internal laptop microphone not working on latest KDE Neon (as well as other distros)
- PipeWire version: libpipewire 0.3.48
- Distribution and distribution version: KDE NEON 5.27.10
- Desktop Environment: KDE
- Kernel version: 6.2.0-39-generic (64-bit)
Description of Problem:
Booting from live environment, my internal mic of my new HP laptop does not work. In the audio settings it is not displayed. It gets displayed only when I pick Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex and check Show Inactive Devices. Importantly, the problem is present across different distros and kernels. I have been trying out older and newer (newest) kerenels for about week now, and the problem persists. It is not due to live enviro either - one time I installed the distro on the laptop but nothing (I have dual boot with Win 11 where mic is fine). Lastly, all the usual solutions (restarting pipewire, switching to pulseaudio, etc.) does not work.
