Microphone Doesn't work on pipewire with ACL897 codec

[placeholder@archlinux ~]$ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC897

this is in my hda-model.conf (meant to fix my microphone)
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi -- This is model only one that would get my microphone to work in return breaking my audio like i cannot hear a thing if i have this (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … t/iblohhk/)

and if i dont have it my microphone doesnt work but my audio works ( headset doesnt get recognised )

ive been trying for hours to fix this but i cant find a fix

if i didn't provide sufficient information in this topic please request more info i havent posted here before and i just want this to get fixed ASAP

im using kde
i need to fix this urgently

Re: Microphone Doesn't work on pipewire with ACL897 codec

That "should" be pretty standard of a codec, but it might also be a lie because you are overriding it with that model definition.

If you do not set that config (and regenerate your initramfs after removing it to be sure) what's your output of

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
arecord -lL
sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
amixer -c0 #or whatever corresponds to the card index
pactl list sources
