Looks like the same issue I'm having on Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th Gen running Ubuntu 19.04.
Debug output here: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=5c09dfb7b0fc0ff5ad32c0576893316f5613d3a1 As well as the Mic not being detected, and therefore not available for use in any applications, there is an issue with the master audio volume being either full-on or muted. individual mixer controls still work, but the main volume control does nothing other than mute the audio. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837821 Title: [HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-df0xxx, Realtek ALC285, Black Mic, Left] Recording problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
