If I plug in external earbuds, it only works the internal mic

This issue happens in every Linux distro I have tried. My earbuds mic is recognized and works on Windows.

Laptop: Huawei Matebook D 2020, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U.

Re: If I plug in external earbuds, it only works the internal mic

The fuser and source-outputs commands only make sense if posted while actually attempting to record. In general this reads like the mic might get exposed via sof. so what happens if you switch a potential recording source off off the internal/analog mic and to the dmic device that's being exposed?

pacmd move-source-output $indexnrfromsource-outputs alsa_input.pci-0000_03_00.5-platform-acp_pdm_mach.0.stereo-fallback
pacmd set-source-mute alsa_input.pci-0000_03_00.5-platform-acp_pdm_mach.0.stereo-fallback off

In general these kinds of things have always been quite brittle so there isn't really any guarantee this will work that way. Should the above not work you can try to play with model options for snd_hda_intel e.g. in a modprobe config try /etc/modprobe.d/micfix.conf

options snd_hda_intel model=auto,headset-mic #Alternatively try dell-headset-multi instead of headset-mic
