Hello,
I have recently installed Fedora on my laptop and it was alright until I wanted to make a discord call, as its turned out the microphone is not working. It is definitely not the microphone’s fault because it works on windows. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Are you using discord from the web browser? Does the mic work in any other application? (like obs, audacity, etc)
Hello,
I am using discord from the app and the microphone doesn’t work on other apps.
Did you install the apps from the Software store? It uses mostly flatpak for it’s apps. If so, maybe the flatpaks don’t have permission to access your microphone. You can install Flatseal to manage the permissions of Flatpak apps.
If that is not the case, maybe you can try to install pavucontrol sudo dnf install pavucontrol , which is an app you can use to control sound input and output settings.
Discord was installed from flatpak but audacity was installed using dnf (the microphone doesn’t work on any of them). Also, I have already tried pavucontrol but forgot to say.
Is the mic there or is it not recognized? My friend had an issue with Fedora, a few versions ago, it was either his mic or webcam that was not being recognized, but when he installed other distro it worked fine.
Can you post the output of:
fpaste --sysinfo-audio --printonly
journalctl --no-hostname -b -g 'snd|audio'
The microphone is recognised.
Here it is:

Can you also post:
wpctl status
You may want to try clearing out the wireplumber state.
mv ~/.local/state/wireplumber ~/.local/state/wireplumber.old
logout and log back in.
Thanks

Hi, I also use Fedora 42 Gnome on Acer ANV15-41-R2VJ, and have identical issue.
Microphone is detected by system as “Analog Input - Family 17h/19h/1ah HD Audio Controller”, but doesn’t seem to produce any input on any apps (Obs, Discord, etc)
I have tried this solution Fix internal laptop microphone - #16 by pacchio3 but still not solve my problem.
I found similar issue on archlinux discussion [SOLVED] ALSA: no input through internal microphone (Ryzen 6000) / Laptop Issues / Arch Linux Forums which suggests to recompile my own kernel (?). I’m not really sure if this doable on fedora.
Hope someone will continue this thread. Thanks.
Somthing that worked on other models was:
cho "options snd-hda-intel model=alc295,dell-headset-multi" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Not sure how well it will work on this one.
Sadly, it did not work.
After many solutions I tried from different forums, I fixed it using kernel patch discussed on archlinux forum I mentioned earlier.
Building kernel step by step can be accessed here Building a Custom Kernel :: Fedora Docs.
I did add Board Vendor and Product Name at quirk table on file “linux_source_code/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c” and generate git diff
Board Vendor can be found with
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/board_vendor
Product Name can be found with
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
Here’s my linux-kernel-test.patch file looks like
diff --git a/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c b/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c
index e632f16c9..e6f723171 100644

};
Kernel compilation took me 2hrs, I don’t know if this is normal or not. After kernel instalation I reboot and choose this patched kernel on grub, test it on obs and discord, the microphone finally gives input.
