I'm running the proposed version on eoan, lenovo X1C7. Can confirm the microphone works. Two questions: 1) What is the new 'configuration' dropdown in the settings->Sound It has the options 'Play HiFi Music', Play to Hdmi1...3'
2) My Output device was selected as the speakers on the laptop. However sound was played over my external monitor. After switching to the external monitors and switching back the sound was on the laptop speakers. And then the microphone started working.

That is because the latest alsa-lib already supports ucm2, and with ucm2 all machines could share one ucm, so latest alsa-lib does not have this problem. This problem is only specific to the alsa-lib in Bionic and Eoan. [Impact] On some Lenovo notebooks, UCM files are not loaded and mic can't be used. [Fix] UCM was loaded based on cardlongname, but that can't cover all configs of the same model. Lenovo suggested to load ucm by the first 3 letters of /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version, so that all configs could use just one ucm. [Test Case] After applying this patch, install the testing alsa-lib on Lenovo X1C7 and Dell vostro 5390, which are all machines with the DMIC connected to PCH. After system bootup, check the /usr/share/alsa/ucm/ for the presence of LENOVO-BIOSID-xxx directories. Lenovo X1C7 should load the N2H/*.conf and verify the audio functionalities. The Dell machine should still load the ucm by cardname, and it should work as good as before. [Regression Potential] low, just add some new UCMs and let Lenovo machine find the UCM by bios_version if it fails by cardlongname. I've already tested the change on Lenovo and Dell machines.
