Cannot use internal or external mic on HP Spectre x360 13-aw2025na

br flag

I have a HP Spectre x360 13-aw2025na running Ubuntu 21.10 and I cannot use the internal or external headset mic.

The microphones seem to show in arecord -l

But they do not show in pulseaudio or pacmd list-sources, I can only get monitor audio device on these :

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
