Microphone not available after kernel upgrade

Ask Fedora

System
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro X (14ARH7) running Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland.

Issue
The built-in microphone is no longer available after upgrading from kernel 6.11.10 to 6.12.4. The device appears in the audio settings by enabling “Show Inactive Devices”, but cannot be selected. The speakers’ profile is set to “Analog Stereo Duplex” and changing it to any other option makes the microphone disappear altogether. Also, tired kernel 6.11.11 and that also presents the problem.

Workaround
Reverting to 6.11.10 fixes the problem.

It is the same for both kernel 6.11.10 and 6.12.4.

Update: not working anymore. I shut down the PC overnight and now the mic is not enabled even with the fix applied.
