### **Troubleshooting Steps Already Tried**
✅ Installed latest firmware:
```bash
sudo apt install linux-firmware alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-ucm-conf
```
✅ Reloaded ALSA:
```bash
sudo alsa force-reload
```
✅ Installed and ran `alsa-info.sh`
✅ Verified ports with:
```bash
pactl list sources | grep -A20 "Name:"
```
✅ Forced internal mic in WirePlumber:
```lua
-- /etc/wireplumber/main.lua.d/91-force-internal-mic.lua
alsa_monitor.rules = {
{
matches = { { { "node.name", "matches", "alsa_input.*analog-stereo" } },
},
apply_properties = {
["api.alsa.use-acp"] = true,
["api.acp.auto-profile"] = false,
["api.acp.auto-port"] = false,
["device.profile-set"] = "default",
["node.disabled"] = false,
["device.disabled"] = false,
},
},
}
```
✅ Boot options attempted:
```bash
snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1
```
✅ Live USB test of Ubuntu 24.04.2 – still no mic input.

**Conclusion:**
Microphone is physically working on Windows 11. Detected under Ubuntu, but no
sound is captured. Likely a kernel/driver or ACP/ALC245 firmware issue on
Ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.14). Please assist or escalate upstream for a patch.
