Mic doesnt work in Asus zenbook laptop

Hi all,
I have been using arch for a few months but i still cant get the mic to work at all.
in `alsamixer` the capture is on and on 100%.

I have dual boot so i tried the mic on windows and it works so no failure there.

I read the wiki troubleshooting but nothing there worked for me.

I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks

Re: Mic doesnt work in Asus zenbook laptop

On system's where it's needed it's par for the course that setting dmic_detect=0 disables the mic. You need to be able to use the card without that parameter, which mandates proper sof support from the sof-firmware package. If the audio doesn't properly work without that parameter you need to check/report bugs to https://github.com/thesofproject/sof and potentially test newer kernels.

!!Modprobe options (Sound related)
!!--------------------------------

snd_hda_intel: power_save=0 power_save_controller=N
snd_hda_intel: dmic_detect=0

check your /etc/modprobe.d this will be something you've configured.
