Hi!
I’m a newbie to Fedora. The internal microphone is not working in f35 Workstation, Gnome, i.e. not working in Gnome Settings: Sound, Audacity, Sound Recorder. Also arecord -d 10 -f S16_BE -c 2 -r 48000 --device=“hw:1,4” test1.wav is not resulting in a playable file.
Edit2: The internal speakers work, though.
arecord -l results in:
arecord -l

It’s a new install along side a W11 where the mic is working. Also a f36beta workstation life image on a USB stick is resulting in a working internal mic (No I don’t believe upgrading to f36 will magically resolve the issue). I hope the following is useful (how can I send the lengthy alsa-info.sh output?):

The pipewire situation is new for me I was using other distros for a very long time. So I don’t understand what"s going on here. Any help is very much appreciated, as I am investigating this for a few weeks now using any commend I could find here and elsewhere (Arch forum, etc.).
Edit: I should add hardware information:
$ inxi -Axx
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Tiger Lake-H HD Audio vendor: Dell
driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl bus-ID: 00:1f.3 chip-ID: 8086:43c8
Device-2: NVIDIA vendor: Dell driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel pcie:
speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 8 bus-ID: 01:00.1 chip-ID: 10de:228e
Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.17.5-200.fc35.x86_64 running: yes
Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.51 running: yes
Of course, this system uses Intel Tiger Lake-H HD Audio and not NVIDIA audio.
Edit 2: Whether with Nvidia or Nvidia replaced by Nouveau, the problem remains the same.
With Gratitude,
Jan
