Mic "unplugged" on Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen6 AMD

sadam · 2024-12-19 17:34:22

Hello,

after a full system upgrade, a completely working audio setup (both output and input) resulted in the internal microphone not being "connected" in pavu control.
The output of my commands:
uname -r

To me it looks like that my internal microphone is not listed at all for some reason. I do remember when I haven't added the option in the kernel modules,
there was simply no microphone listed in pavu control. I've added the sof-firmware as well and tried many solutions such as

 hdajackretask

by disabling the external microphone etc. I have run out of option at this, I hope someone can chime in and help me finding a solution

I have just gotten a configure to order (CTO) E14 Gen 6, after doing some digging i found this patch which appears to be in 6.12 (not sure if its in any earlier versions). But the CTO DMI_PRODUCT_NAME appears to be `21M3CTO1WW` when the patch is only matching `21M3`. I have a feeling this might be it, at least for me, assuming that original patch does work. I'll try to test it and see if I can get it working.

It has been resolved with the latest kernel updated 6.12.7, please see https://github.com/ramaureirac/thinkpad … /issues/27 I've tried everything but in the end kernel update was needed.
