[arch-general] ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 mic not working

Tue Jul 5 05:44:48 UTC 2022

Hi Ivan,

Thanks a lot for sharing. I updated my alsamixer settings to match yours. Still no luck. How about your main "Capture"? Set to on with some volume?

I also have following information that may be useful.
