Recent Audio Issues with my microphone

[nuvancetechnologies]

I currently have two Dell Latitude laptops that runs the latest Manjaro OS but I am having serious audio issues with my microphone , which has disrupted my activities during online meetings.
Even if I do a fn + f4 to unmute, it shows the both state [muted and unmuted] but the light indicator on the keyboard shows it’s muted for both toggled state.
And since I Dual booted the system, I switched to Windows and saw it working super well.
I look forward to seeing this fixed.

Welcome to the Manjaro community @nuvancetechnologies

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

---

Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):

inxi -zv8

• inxi man pages (Arch Manual)

Any code or command output (such as inxi output) should be placed within a scrollable pre-formatted text enclosure according to forum guidelines.

See here for instructions

---

[Mini How-To] format code or command output

Select and copy all the text in the Terminal window (minus the prompt, if you are using zsh).

Then paste the output in between two lines containing three backticks:
```
or three tildes:
~~~

Or:

Copy & paste, then highlight the pasted text and click the </> button at the top of the reply window (easier for smaller outputs).

Running `inxi` in `chroot`

@Running `inxi` in `chroot`

If you need to run inxi from within a chroot environment, and find the output is laced with unexpected 12’s, please try again with:

• Add to the long form command: --color=0
• or, change the short form to: inxi -zv8c0

Providing `inxi` when you cannot access your desktop environment

@Providing `inxi` when you cannot access your desktop environment

If you are unable to copy and paste the inxi output due to being unable to access your desktop, but can still access a TTY text session, then you can send the inxi output to a pastebin service:

inxi -zv8c0 | nc termbin.com 9999

Note: the nc command may require installation of the openbsd-netcat package:

pamac install openbsd-netcat

or

sudo pacman -Syu openbsd-netcat

After the output is sent, a link to the inxi output will be provided, which you can then add to your forum post.

If you are not allowed to post links in the forum due to being a new member, you can still paste the link as code by typing 3 backticks ``` on empty lines above and below the pasted URL.

@Your privacy is respected

When inxi is run using the --filter or -z parameters, any personally identifiable information is filtered from the resulting output.

Just to rule out the usual suspects, did you disable the fast startup in windows?

[nuvancetechnologies]

@Teo
I’ll have to check that now

@scotty65
Alright, I appreciate your feedback

Please advise how the issue was resolved, as it may help others who come to this forum with a similar issue.

Forum Rules - Manjaro

22: Life is a Two-way Street

A simple, yet profound and undeniable truth. Ensure your thread includes details and information that others will find useful. Share your findings with the community. Share your failures as well. Posting the equivalent of “Nevermind, I fixed it.” in your thread or deleting your own posts for similar reasons is not only selfish and useless to the community, but a complete waste of resources and everyone’s time. Also, demanding help or showing an obvious impatience toward getting it is unwanted here. Manjaro is provided by a community of volunteers. Manjaro users are strongly encouraged to do research, make an effort, report back in the thread, help others, get involved, and contribute to the community.

Thank you team

What was the resolution?

Any Support topic is rather pointless without a clear stated resolution to a problem, or a post marked as the Solution (if someone else helped to solve it) – I’m certain you must agree.

Please provide full details of whatever fixed your problem, as they may indeed help others that find this thread.

Regards.
