Acer Swift Edge's internal microphone is not working

mr flag

I recently bought Acer Swift Edge. I started using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and when I was using Discord, I noticed that my laptop's microphone was't working (but worked properly in Windows). The audio outputs were fine. These are the results of output commands:

inxi -A:

Note: These might effect the results from guides I followed, none of them work:

  1. Sound Input device (microphone) not working

  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/xzxkef/realtek_alc256_sound_card_issue_fix/

  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz6jDUyn7S0

I ran out of options. Are there anyway to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I stumble to this forum. People had the same problem as I do. Although it's from 2018 - 2019, was it resolved in Linux v5?

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
