Hello you beautiful people! Please I need help! I have a hp 1040 x360 g5 laptop with fedora install. Out of the box the audio didn’t work input and output. Output in settings kept showing dummy output. I can’t remember what I did but the output is now working fine. But the issue still remains for the mic. When going ti setting/audio input shows nothing it’s like fedora doesn’t see that I have an internal mic. Please help, thank you in advance.
Which version of fedora is in use? F38? F37? or ??
Please provide the output of inxi -Fzxx along with lspci and lsusb so we may see the hardware details.
Thank you so much for your help, I hope I done what you askeld correctly. If I could get the mic working I would be over the moon! Let me know what you think. Its Fedora 38

Hi, can you run the following command (copy and paste the whole line):
(alsa-info.sh --stdout; pactl list) | fpaste
It will upload info about your audio systems (ALSA and PulseAudio) to the Fedora pastebin (anonymous, expires in 1 day). Reply with the URL given.
The Linux hardware database doesn’t note any issues for the specific audio chip in HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5, so hopefully it’s just a configuration issue.

Hi Justin, thank you for helping. The internal speakers are working but the mic isnt heres that link:
The config looks ok. Audio profile is correct (Analog Stereo Duplex, which enables both input and output).
The mic is “not available” though. Is there a hardware mic switch or keyboard key with a mic icon? You may have to press Fn + that key.
Thanks so much for looking into it. Yeah there is a mic button and fn key but it does nothing. Weird thing is I installed elementary os just to test and it worked. I can push the mic button and it mutes / unmutes etc. any ideas?
Also I don’t know if this helps originally the audio output wasn’t working it said dummy output. I added a line somewhere I it was the alsa.conf and then the audio output started working.
It would help to know what you changed and where.
Just guessing, it could be in one of these files/dirs:
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/
/etc/alsa/
/etc/alsa/conf.d/
/etc/modprobe.d/
Might be modprobe because I see an unusual option model=dell-vostro in snd_hda_intel options.
elementaryOS might not be using PipeWire/WirePlumber. I’m not sure what they change from Ubuntu.
Yeah it was that that I changed. Yeah it’s a weird one. Was hoping it was just another line that I could put in to make the os see it. Any ideas?
Please be specific. Which file and what is the entire change you made?
Also, if you can link where you got this idea. I don’t know anything about your specific audio hardware to know why you’d make this change.
I appreciate that and I wish I was more knowledgeable about this. I am very great full for your help.
I’m pretty sure I changed these files /etc/alsa/conf.d/
/etc/modprobe.d/
I added this model=dell-vostro in snd_hda_intel
Is there a way to force the mic on thru the cli

I can’t do anything with these screenshots. Please post links to the actual pages.
Also post the output of this:
grep -RC5 snd.*intel /etc/modprobe.d /usr/lib/modprobe.d /etc/alsa /usr/share/alsa
I’ll explain what’s going on:
We are going to find out what exactly you changed, because you may have made multiple conflicting changes, or put some changes in the wrong places (based on what you’ve said previously). Since you can’t say exactly which files or changes, we’ll search for them using grep.
Then, I’ll guide you to undo those changes, so that we can diagnose your actual audio issues. It’s impossible to diagnose from this frankenstein state, since I don’t have access to your hardware, and the real solution might not work after those changes.
Right okay bud, and thank you again for heping me. This has been really getting to me. Okay so I have just done a fresh install of fedora 38. So with this done anything i changed has now gone so we are starting from start.
Currently my audio is not working this now includes the ouput and input.
Re sending what you wanted to see before (new): UNTITLED - Pastebin Service
grep -RC5 snd.*intel /etc/modprobe.d /usr/lib/modprobe.d /etc/alsa /usr/share/alsa~
grep: /usr/share/alsa~: No such file or directory
what do you think
Ok, the reinstall wasn’t necessary, but now we can see totally different information in the logs.
What is the output of this:
cat /sys/module/snd_intel_dspcfg/parameters/dsp_driver
I won’t be available today, but leave my notes below (could be wrong, I’m just writing as I go).
-
Overview of Intel hardware platforms — SOF Project 2.4.1 documentation
- device supports 2 drivers, legacy (snd_hda_intel) and SOF. DMIC does not work with snd_hda_intel
- don’t load drivers manually, set snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver. 1 forces snd_hda_intel. Try 3 or 2?
- intel-dsp-config.c - sound/hda/intel-dsp-config.c - Linux source code (v6.3.2) - Bootlin - dsp_driver definition
- cards seem to be created despite errors (see dmesg, arecord). Don’t know enough about the hardware to tell if it’s correct. Could be topology. Could be UCM, controls aren’t mapped properly. Pro Audio profile is available
- Internal Mic not working on Conexant CX11970 (HP Elitebook 1040 G5) / Multimedia and Games / Arch Linux Forums - same hardware, no solution

Hi Justin, no worries I thought it would be better to start from scratch as I could not remember what I changed. So the out put of this
Looks to be 0
Thank you again for helping
