Around 3 months ago after a system update, the internal microphone of my laptop stopped getting any audio. It is detected, not muted in alsamixer but there is no recorded audio.
Please help my fix this issue. let me know if you need any command outputs to debug the issue.

What output do you get from
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
arecord -lL
pactl list cards
pactl list sources
pactl list source-outputs
while attempting to record? How many parallel Windows installations are there? If more than 0 ensure fast boot is disabled: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_b … ibernation -- random shot you can try regardless of everything
sudo alsactl init
Post these outputs wrapped in [code][/code] tags

record as in using the microphone like in calls / recording audio etc.
there is a dual booted windows and fast boot is disabled. also mic works fine in windows.

that gives no output because you're not trying to actively record something, other outputs look fineish, while actually trying to record repost the last and the fuser command and maybe throw in
amixer -c0
Another random guesstimate, that the stereo access attempt breaks things and if that would be the case trying a
pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo 0 100% #or 100% 0
should try to mute one of the channels which can often coerce cooperation.
