Internal microphone not working with CX8070

Support Sound
1

Hello,
Going straight forward, I have been using Manjaro with my previous laptop and decided to upgrade to Xiaomi Book Pro 14 (2022). It works perfectly fine with Manjaro (and other distros I tested), except the sound problems. The speakers do work well, but the microphone is not even shown in the settings.

Anticipating the possibility that the micro is broken, it works with Windows (I have dual boot).

From my investigation, I have completed the next steps:

A part from that, some additional information.

  • If I connect the headset via jack port, the sound is played, but it does not appear as a recording option.
  • Nothing appears to be muted in AlsaMixer.

Welcome to Manjaro forum @Makariy and thank you for posting good information

ALSA mailing list shows a patch was created for this laptop 11 Nov 2024
LKML: WangYuli: [PATCH 6.1+] ASoC: amd: yc: fix internal mic on Xiaomi Book Pro 14 2022
The patch is included in latest kernel v6.12 and also back-ported to earlier kernels v.6.11, v6.6 and v6.1

The next Stable branch update release is due very soon and should include patched kernels
If you want a patched kernel right now you could switch to Manjaro Testing branch

Thank you very much.
Just switched to the testing branch, rebooted, and the microphone is perfectly recognized and works.
I appreciate your quick response and have a great day!
