This problem still exists. I think it's due to #1 some notebooks having an inverted mic channel and #2 Pulseaudio auto/dynamic-setting mic levels of both channels equal. So when you turn down one channel to allow it to work (workaround) Pulseaudio sets it back which disables the mic again. I don't know if this problem should be resolved in the Kernel or Pulseaudio. But I have seen an "inverted mic" is a common problem that many people have and struggle with getting their mic to work as a result. I have the Lenovo G50-45 with updated BIOS: A2CN45WW(V2.13) Running the latest Manjaro distro w/kernel 4.14: Linux G50 4.14.55-1-MANJARO 08/04/2016
