HP Pavilion x360 - Internal microphone and camera not working (urgent)

Hello! It's been a month since I installed arch (with kernel 6.16.8-arch3-1 & Gnome 49 on wayland).
I have recently been experiencing problems regarding the internal mic and camera for my laptop, especially the microphone which wasn't really working on any linux distro I had tried. The camera was also good, but it too faileed sometime in the recent past.
I have a important meeting in around a day or so, and would really be grateful if someone could help me out!

Here's the output of hwinfo --short:

Nm, I figured it out!
For anyone struggling with the same issue run:

 echo "options uvcvideo quirks=128" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf
