Re: [Bug 2112330] Re: Internal microphone not working on ASUS VivoBook with Realtek ALC256 (Ubuntu 24.04 + kernel 6.15)
I’ve booted into the test kernel (6.14.0-1005-oem) and can confirm that the
internal microphone now works correctly without any manual model override
in alsa-base.conf.
Thanks very much for the patch and support! Let me know if you’d like me to
test anything further or help validate future builds.

Title:
Internal microphone not working on ASUS VivoBook with Realtek ALC256
(Ubuntu 24.04 + kernel 6.15)
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I'm using an ASUS VivoBook (11th Gen Intel i7, Realtek ALC256 audio
codec). On Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, the internal microphone is detected and
listed correctly in PulseAudio/PipeWire and ALSA, but no input is
captured. Microphone volume and boost are set to 100%, not muted.
Input device appears as RUNNING in pactl, but no signal is recorded.
I tested:
- Ubuntu 24.04 with default kernel (6.11)
- Upgraded to mainline kernel 6.15 via `mainline` tool
- ALSA, PipeWire, PulseAudio all installed and working
- External USB mic works perfectly
- BIOS does not expose any audio/microphone control
- Mic also tested with `pw-record`, `arecord`, `gnome-sound-recorder` — all silent
ALSA info:
https://alsa-project.org/db/?f=6d6466ba903b2e08b351046571e0fc54ddd13981
It seems like a pin configuration or unsupported codec issue with
ALC256. Please advise if this requires a patch or model-specific
quirk.
Thank you.
