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:

Note: These might effect the results from guides I followed, none of them work:
Sound Input device (microphone) not working

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?
