I got a similar problem here after updating to Linux 5.8.18-1-MANJARO x86_64 20.2 Nibia, When I run pavucontrol I see two input devices:
- Digital Microphone - Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) Audio Controller Digital Microphone. Shows no input but it’s 100 % without no sound.
- Headphones Stereo Microphone (unplugged) - Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Headphones Stereo Microphone. This does show input.
I tried to install latest pulseaudio dev version with pulseaudio-git but can’t manage to select the second microphone that does have input volume. My problem is that it’s always « force-selecting » the first one port: Digital Microphone which input is stuck to maximum but no sounds. My computer is a Lenovo Legion 5-15ARH05 Type 82B5 .
This seems a really silly bug right here because I receive volume input inside this second input Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Headphones Stereo Microphone with port : Headphones Stereo Microphone (unplugged) but I can’t seem to activate it, also when I change volume db from second input it changes the first one.
Sorry I can’t give any screenshot to make it more clearer.
Here are some specs just in case :
