Audio driver problems since fedora 36

Hi,
Since when I installed Fedora 36 I cannot use Skype or other types of telephone/conference systems (like Teams or Zoom).
All the previous versions of Fedora I did not encounter this problem.
Actually both the input (microphone) and output (speakers) work fine if used separately.
I.E. I can record a message using sound recorder either with the internal microphone or with the headset microphone.
Also, I can lissen to a sound file either with the speakers or with the headset.
But if I activates Skype or Teams that require both of them functionig together and simultaneously it happens that I can listen and the microphone doesn’t get working so the others cannot listen to me.
Even if I use the setting I can adjust the speaker volume but if I try to adjust the microphone volume it doesn’t change the audio level and it seems that it gets only noise again both with internal microphone and with the headset.
Below you can find some information:

I have a Lenovo ideapad 330;

Welcome to ask.:fedora:edora @aldogiga

Please be so kind and edit your topic. Mark the pasted parts and format them as preformatted </> text.

As a workaround for your problem, please log in a gnome-x11 session.
You do this by clicking on your login-name and select on the gear (bottom right) gnome x11.

Tahnks for your feedback.

I edited the initial message as I should have done following the rules … sorry for that.

Howevere, I tested the workaround and I started a gnome session both by the login selection and, as well as, changing the /etc/gdm/custom.conf setting of Wayland.
In both cases it did not work as expected.
It is sad to say that under Windows it works correctly.
Thanks.

In zoom I know you can set the audio separately, did you try this?
How about the audio settings in gnome. Are there some adjustments under input and output you can do?

Sadly to say too … you had to pay for it!

Yes, I can set separately input and output also in the general setting.

In any case even if I set the microphone level to the maximum and I tap the microphone the signal level doesn’t move.
