A recent update (don't know which, exactly) broke the internal microphone - it used to work just fine.
I've been through the wiki but wasn't able to solve it by myself.
Speakers work fine.
A microphone on an external camera is recognized and works fine (USB).
A microphone on a headset is not recognized and does not work (3.5mm jack). Speakers on the headset work, though.
There used to be microphone controls in pulse audio/mixer, but they're gone.
Now, if I select "All input devices" in the mixer, I get a "Monitor of family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio controller Analog Stereo".
If I select "All except monitors", there's nothing in the tab.
If I edit "/etc/pulse/default.p" and uncomment "load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0", the microphone and its controls re-appear,
but the microphone still doesn't work.
Whether the above mentioned line is uncommented or not, when I run "alsamixer", press "F6" to select a sound card, there are three options:
- default
0 HD-Audio Generic
1 HD-Audio GenericOnly the third option has anything for a "Capture device", and then only levels/controls for <Mic Boost> and <Capture> - no "Internal Mic" or anything that makes any change to the state of the microphone.
Here's output from various commands:

I don't know what to do about it, though, and hope the problem isn't dead hardware.
Can someone lend a hand, please?

Here's one more thing - in pulse audio mixer, "Configuration" tab, I have:
1. "HD-Audio Generic" which is set to Off, and all other options in the drop-down menu have "(unplugged) (unavailable)"
2. "Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller", which is set to "Analog Stereo Output", but which I can change to "Analog Stereo Input (unplugged) (unavailable)",
which then brings back the microphone controls, same as loading the module manually through editing "/etc/pulse/default.p", but the microphone still doesn't work.

I have nothing to contribute to the solution, but I'm having exact same issue with exact same laptop.
I tried Ubuntu 20.10 Live USB and microphone works correctly there. The primary difference is in "pacmd list-cards" Ubuntu identifies the second card by its actual ID, whereas Arch (as of recently) identifies it as HD-Audio Generic.
The output of "pacmd list-cards" under ubuntu is as follows:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ pacmd list-cards

I am also having the same issue with the same laptop. The Ubuntu 20.10 Live USB also worked fine for me.
I've found this patch that seems to be attempting to fix this issue, but I don't know when it will be made available: https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/2020 … ex.cz/T/#u

Seems kernel 5.10.10 (or above) should be patched to solve this.
Until then, I found a solution on the Manjaro forum.

Updated to 5.10.10-arch1-1 today. The issue did not go away, still no microphone input.
Offline
Maybe the prediction there was for the kernel Manjaro uses. The fix works, though.
I use it, with systemd bootloader:
$ cat /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /amd-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
