Microphone on Lenovo Yoga C930 not working

Haven’t been able to get my microphone to work at all on fresh install. I’ve tried following the directions at Lenovo Yoga c940 - ArchWiki, but blacklisting the snd_hda_intel module gives me no audio at all as sof won’t load automatically. Loading the snd_hda_intel module at least gives me sound but the microphone doesn’t work (nor does the microphone on my Bose QC 35 II headset).

I take that you installed sof-firmware, correct? Please run inxi -Aza and lspci -k

Yes, installed sof-firmware.

And as far as I see your applied the configuration presented on the Arch wiki, correct? What’s the output of pa-info?

As far as I can tell–it is mostly just blacklisting the two modules, right?

Anyway, please run sudo dmesg | grep snd

sudo dmesg | grep snd is empty. Ran alsa-info.sh, that info is here: pastebin.com/jLyzkCPb

What about sudo dmesg | grep sof ?

Actually, I don’t think the Arch wiki applies here. The C940 and C930 seem to have different audio controllers.

Can you run

sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel && sleep 3 && sudo dmesg | grep -i 'snd' && sleep 3 && sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel

then

sudo modprobe snd_soc_skl && sleep 3 && sudo dmesg | grep -i 'soc' && sleep 3 && sudo rmmod snd_soc_skl

?

Yoga C940 laptops have a 10th gen Intel CPU and Cannon Lake audio which should have support for the internal digital microphone array from sof-firmware

But Yoga C930 has an 8th generation Kaby Lake CPU, which is not likely to have support for internal digital microphone from sof-firmware for some time yet
thesofproject/sof · GitHub - Kaby Lake support · Issue #1899
The only option possible at the moment is to force use of the ‘legacy’ snd_hda_intel driver so most of the onboard audio will work without the internal microphone

the modprobe option to blacklist snd_hda_intel should be replaced with this:

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1

This github page has a workaround solution for the speakers
GitHub - droserasprout/lenovo-yoga-c930-linux: Varions fixes to provide full hardware support of Lenovo Yoga C930 on Linux

If any better solutions are found they are likely to be posted on the github page or the sofproject bug report first

Got it. Thank you guys for your help.
