Since I've bought my computer(IdeaPad Slim 5 16AKP10) and installed arch on it. But whatever I do the fix the problem my microphone doesn't seem to be working.
I have followed every instructions on the wiki at:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire
And the following troubleshooting at:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Audio_2
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseA … Microphone
and it still does not work.
The test audio with `arecord` doesn't output anything
and `alsamixer` doesn't help either.

is kernel sees the Mic? is it seen under /dev/snd/ ?
look at dmesg for sure. search for input or mic there.
if OK then alsamixer sees mic and list its controls.
i means such:
$ tinymix contents

NB:tinymix not available for arch but alsamixer provides same.

I checked under dmesg and found that line:
[ 5.154029] input: HD-Audio Generic Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.6/sound/card1/input24That directory (/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.6/sound/card1/input24) does exist, and its content is:

capabilities device event13

properties subsystem uevent
uniqAs for alsamixer altough it appears under there. It doesn't work when I turn it back on for some reason.
Thank you and sorry for the late return.

when they active pipewire, pulse claims devices exclusively.
So bare alsa phase out; not works.
therefore if your use case not depend them then you can disable them and use bare alsa.
you may want to test liveiso or some other distros to see this is HW problem or not.

Hello, I recently bought this laptop. I am normally an Arch user, but this laptop is running Fedora and I am observing the same issue you describe. Do you have any new findings to share?
Here is a snip from my dmesg:
