Asus ProArt P16 - Microphone not working

Ask Fedora
1

I have installed Fedora 42 on my laptop, the audio output works correctly, if I connect a jack with microphone I can record audio correctly, but the digital microphone do not work, I have installed the app “volume control” and I checked that microphone is not muted.

On the settings page the microphone is correctly displayed Digital Microphone - Family 17h/19h/1ah HD Audio Controller.

I tried with arecord to record a wav file with no luck.

I found an anomaly on settings and also on volume control: the meter indicator of mic is always at full scale, I tried also with audacity, and when recording if I change the mic volume it record some sort of static sound (1sec) like a “thunder”.

on dmesg there are no error

In my experience with Asus laptops the ‘digital’ microphone input may not work since it seems to be used for internal routing only. On my laptop there is also a stereo analog microphone input and that one works. Maybe it’s the same on your laptop:

You are my hero!
For 4 hours, I tried with Artificial Intelligence(?) to figure out how to configure the digital Mic, so I never tried to use the Internal Stereo Microphone because for me it is the mic attached to the earphone through the jack.

When I read your post I tried it and Work!

Thanks!!!
