External microphone not working on MSI GF63…I have tried many solution in this forum…but not working…Any one know the proper working solution as of now…please reply…
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec# | grep Codec*
Codec: Realtek ALC233
Codec: Intel Kabylake HDMI
Please don’t post the previous answers…none is working
Which previous answers? And what did you already try?
What is an “external” microphone? How is it connected?
If you read all previous posts, you should know how to properly add necessary information about your system.

anymore information needed please tell me…MSI GF63 model…microphone shows unplugged…
Try using only pipewire: pamac install manjaro-pipewire
Did you install sof-firmware?
Did you plug the microphone fully into the correct port? Sometimes it’s the really silly ones.
sof-firmware is installed…instead of pipewire, pulse audio is preinstalled…
Are you sure will it work with pipewire?
If you want to to continue using PulseAudio instead of replacing it, pipewire.service can be disabled
systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket pipewire.service
Switching between PulseAudio & PipeWire will not help if audio issue is at a lower level in ALSA
Data from alsa-info is showing 2 internal and 2 external microphones detected
[ 3.476918] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0: Rear Mic=0x18
[ 3.476920] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0: Internal Mic=0x19
[ 3.476921] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0: Mic=0x1a
[ 3.476922] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0: Internal Mic=0x12
Specifications on MSI website state there is only one audio jack for microphone input and/or headphone output, so either Rear Mic or Microphone could be a misdetection/misconfiguration in ALSA
ALSA data is showing conflicting modprobe options
!!Modprobe options (Sound related)
!!--------------------------------
snd_hda_intel: index=0 model=dell-headset-multi
snd_intel_dspcfg: dsp_driver=1
snd_hda_intel: dmic_detect=0
snd_hda_intel: model=laptop-amic enable=yes
I suggest you find the file(s) created to add these modprobe options
grep snd ~/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
delete all of them, reboot system to ensure no modprobe options are loaded and check if external microphone is detected/working with unmodified configuration
If microphone is not working as expected use
sudo alsa-info.sh --upload
to get ALSA data without modprobe changes
