My laptop microfone works when trying ubuntu 22.10 in live mode from a USB, but after installing the OS, only "Digital Microphone - Family 17h/19h HD Audi..." is listed in the sound settings and no application can record anything. In windows (I have dual boot) the mic works perfectly. Also, running/installing the 23.04 daily build leads to a perfectly fine working mic, though due to other hickups I wanted to change to a stable version.
I have tried installing minimal+proprietary drivers and "normal" Version of the OS, same result.
I have also tried every single solution mentioned on following sites:
- https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=352677 (modifying the alsa-base.conf file with
options snd_hda_intel model=inv-dmic
)
- Headset microphone not working on Ubuntu 20.04 (followed up from 1., tried only those solutions not dealing with codec entries in
also-base.conf
, because I could not find my codec on kernel.org, ouput of cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
was Nvidia GPU a0 HDMI/DP
, ATI R6xx HDMI
, and Realtek ALC257
. Also, using hdajackretask
shows Black Mic, Right side, as well as Internal Mic as options)
- Problem with sound in Ubuntu 22.10 (doing anything like activating pulseaudio as adviced here leads to audio output also misbehaving, but since they try to solve errors with audio output and not input, I didn't really except these solutions to work)
- https://gist.github.com/Therises/d2e91c81af1574f9069635d520fdc7ec (this lead to the mic-icon to appear in the quick-settings drop-down menu, and in settings the indicator of input level is not constantly full anymore, so that is some progress I think)
After each unsuccessful attempt I reversed the changes and rebooted the system.
So... Anybody got some more ideas? I am really starting to get annoyed after almost half a dozen hours of trouble shooting...
