Input doesn’t work (not even detected as an input device in PulseAudio), output works completely fine.
I also tried with an older pair, doesn’t work

Please refer to this topic Sound from speakers no sound from 3.5mm jack-audio

I tried everything except recompiling the kernel (I don’t think I’m able to do it without breaking the system, and I’d like to keep my system safe).
In particular what worked for you?
I even tried to put the string suggested in one of the latest comments (options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi) but with this my system doesn’t boot

Solved!
Followed this guide: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - ArchWiki
