Headphones' microphone "unplugged"

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2014 (11,1), details:

  • Operating System: Fedora 34
    KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
    KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
    Qt Version: 5.15.2
    Kernel Version: 5.13.12-200.fc34.x86_64 (64-bit)
    Graphics Platform: Wayland
    Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4278U CPU @ 2.60GHz
    Memory: 7,7 GiB of RAM
    Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® Iris® Graphics 5100

the internal microphone has stopped working soon after i replaced the faulty logic board with a new one but that’s not the problem, in fedora i can’t get the headphones’ microphone to work (tbh neither the USB camera’s microphone works), in KDE (and GNOME too) settings, it shows as “unplugged”. This is my alsa-info.sh https://alsa-project.org/db/?f=9da14401194da87bdfee22ea25d7de55350c317f

i tried ALL the solutions i found on google (switching to pulseaudio completely removing pipewire has no effect) but none of them seems to work for me, other distros like Ubuntu or Arch have no problem with my inputs, can somebody help me?

Does Ubuntu and Arch using Wayland as default in KDE ? If not then this is the difference. Fedora uses Wayland on the KDE Spin as a default setting.
Fedora 34 KDE Spin Planning Switch To Wayland - Phoronix

So, look that you change to x11 when you log in. I don’t really know how to do it in KDE. Gnome has the Gear on the right bottom to change while clicking on the user name.

Already tried with X11 with no results, same thing trying to retask jacks with hdajackretask

Nobody has the slightest idea?

Which one (Brand & Model) Headphone & Mic

Sennheiser HD400S but i tried with four more headsets and seems that fedora isn’t able to recognize any microphone
