Internal Mic not Working

Hi, the laptop I'm currently using is the Acer Swift 5 (SF514-55TA). But when I type in

aplay -l

, it outputs this:

 [yamcake3821@yamcake3821-arch ~]$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC256 Analog [ALC256 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 

Even though I changed my kernel to the linux-lts version, it still doesn't detect it. Please help, thanks. :)

Re: Internal Mic not Working

Oops, sorry. When i typed in

arecord -l

, it outputs this:

[yamcake3821@yamcake3821-arch ~]$ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC256 Analog [ALC256 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

This is my headset's mic and not my internal mic.

Did you ever have this mic working?

Re: Internal Mic not Working

Yes, I had this mic working since the very first day of installing Arch, until my mic just stopped being detected, suddenly.
