Hey everyone, I recently bought an X13 Gen 4 thinkpad, AMD version, and I noticed that the microphone volume is very low, I have to set sensitivity to 100% or even higher for anyone to hear me. Anyone got any fixes?

I’ve tried blacklisting several modules but nothing worked. I’ve switched to Windows and updated all firmware/drivers, and on Windows the mic works fine, as long as “audio enhancements” are disabled.strong text
