Microphone woes, Frame.work laptop & me...

paulie420 · 2021-12-09 22:51:56

My microphone worked on Ubuntu, but then stopped working at some point. It DID, however, function on a clean install. I messed around and settled on Arch Linux as the best Linux OS for my needs, and the Frame.work.

The microphone has never worked on my Arch install. Frame.work sent me a replacement camera/microphone module, that I installed and tested using the application Cheese. I can see video, but still no microphone audio.

I have used the following sources trying to fix this issue:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanc … leshooting

https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index … ardTesting

https://alsa.opensrc.org/Record_from_mic

I've done several 'fixes', but here are three that I recorded. Neither were successful, and the changes were removed:

created /etc/asound.conf w/ the following:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.ctl.card 0

NO CHANGE, ERASED /etc/asound.conf

aplay -l to find card #, then loaded alsamixer -c 0 (card #)

Then add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

Then reload the module:

rmmod snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel

rmmod command returned:
rmmod: ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use

NO CHANGE, ERASED /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf

modified /etc/pulse/default.pa and added the following line:
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0

NO CHANGE, removed the load-module line from default.pa

Furthermore, thru all my testing I've learned of a few commands that might give you, other sets of eyes, detailed information that may or may not help... I am going to append the output of these commands at the bottom of this post.

When I run alsamixer, with no flags, it shows the card as 'PulseAudio'. In the capture view, it shows a 'Capture' entry that is set to 100%. If I switch sound cards to default:0 HDA Intel PCH, in capture view it shows a 'Mic Boost', 'Capture' and 'Digital' entry - all are set to 100%. In the ALL view, the HDA Intel PCH card shows the following entries: Master, Headphone, Speaker, PCM, Mic Boost, Mic Boost, S/PDIF, S/PDIF 1, S/PDIF 2, S/PDIF 3, S/PDIF 4, S/PDIF 5, S/PDIF 6, S/PDIF 7, S/PDIF 8, S/PDIF 9, S/PDIF 10, S/PDIF 11, Capture, Auto-Mute & Digital... I think 'capture' denotes the microphone - but there is no entries called Microphone. (Some troubleshoot guides mentioned to look for THAT.)

I wonder if... my Arch Linux is running GNOME (Leave me alone, I like it. ). Should I remove and reinstall some audio bits/applications? One guide... or, a posters recommendation anyway, mention to rm -rf ~/.config/pulse - but I was afraid to doso, and didn't try that. My thoughts were.. maybe my setup is messed up somehow by my choice of software on TOP of Arch? But I'm just reaching for the stars here...
I do notice both ~/.config/pulse AND /etc/pulse w/ configuration files... and I just wonder if I'm fighting with settings issues.

I suppose I could create a new user, or login as root, to test this - but I haven't yet. I've really attempted a LOT of fixes here, and my intermediate Linux knowledge just isn't finding the issue. Hoping that you might find the needle in the haystack here - and I appreciate rehashing this stupid issue. It is, however, a necessary thing - a microphone - and all.

Thanks, et all.

Please use code tags for pasting outputs.

If the outputs are any indication your manual source line is still in effect. Actually remove it, restart pulse

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio

Start an actual recording attempt and repost

pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sources
pacmd list-source-outputs
#If these don't work use _ instead of -
systool -vm snd-hda-intel
systool -vm snd-intel-dspcfg

I'm going to leave this as-is... this is a response to V1del's request for output - but I have a new inkling that I'd like to run by ya'll... I think MAYBE I've sniffed out my issue, however wanted to give the output that was requested.

paulie420 · 2021-12-12 21:26:09

So after ALL the research I've been doing on this issue, I *think* I might have a new idea. Maybe this ISN'T a microphone hardware issue, rather... the Frame.work laptop has optical hardware switches for the camera and microphone. If I turn the CAMERA switch to OFF and reboot, dmesg shows no output with the following:

paulie420@frame-work:~ $ sudo dmesg | grep -i "Camera"

If I then turn the switch to ON, the output is:

paulie420@frame-work:~ $ sudo dmesg | grep -i "Camera"

So, when the hardware switch is OFF it doesn't show the camera, and when ON dmesg lists it right there... however, regardless of the MIC being ON/OFF dmesg shows:

At the end of the THINKPAD dmesg, I see two HDA inputs for Dock Mic and Mic... this is not found on the Frame.work at all - so...

I'm thinking that the actual issue ISN'T my camera/mic module, it isn't my Pulseaudio setup and IS the bezel's optical hardware switch. ?? While these switches are cool, they are pretty simple and just use some optical material to either block or not block the connection to the camera or mic, allowing you to turn them off - if mine isn't functioning properly, this would explain why I SEE a microphone in my Settings, capture and mic boost in alsamixer - but no mic input... its simply like its silent. I think that Frame.work is thinking the switch is OFF, even tho its really ON...

I'm thinking of asking for a replacement bezel - as I've already installed a new camera/mic module to no avail - and I don't think theres any other hardware in between.

What do you think? Could I have sniffed this issue out? Thanks again for help with an intermediate [at best] sysOp.

It's not entirely clear to me what you're using to test, but it's possible that the fact it recognizes a dock mic might logically disable the normal mic. Do you not get anything from

arecord -Dhw:0 test.wav

?
