Hi,
Thanks for the advice. I tried installing pipewire as well as pulseaudio but none of them worked with default settings. I think the issue with ALSA. At this point I have reverted all the changes I made back to just plain alsa with sof-firmware. Looking at alsamixer, I have multiple mics under the Capture tab. My alsa card is sof-hda-dsp. The chip is Realtek ALC287. I have following items in capture tab:
1. Mic Boost (I have set it to max) 2. Capture (maxed and toggled to on) 3. Dmic0 Front (muted and toggled off) 4. Dmic0 Rear (muted and toggled off) 5. Dmic1 2nd Front (muted and can't toggle) 6. Dmic1 2nd Rear (muted and can't toggle) 7. PGA2.0 2 Master (muted and can't toggle)
In my case I have the boost at 0, but Dmic0 Front and Roar have a "CAPTURE" below and those are the important ones. I have them at 70%. When using Plasma KDE, from the audio volume settings, moving the mic % changes these two values. Hope that helps. -- Iyán Méndez Veiga GPG 0x422E3694311E5AC1
