Hi Raymond,

switching to internal mic on node 0x12 doesn't work, the channel only
has white noise (the sound you hear from an untuned radio). I'm now
going to go through all the unconnected pins in hdajackretask to see if
one of them works.

Title:
  Alsa not detecting internal microphone [ALC255]

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've just installed Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10 on a 64bit Acer
  Aspire VN7-792G and noticed, that the internal microphone doesn't
  work. The computer has been released a couple of months ago and it's
  Intel Skylake -based with a Sunrise Point -based motherboard.

  INFO: The problem exists in Ubuntu 15.10 too, only microphone jack
  detected. Currently using Ubuntu 16.04 for proper hardware support.

  Alsa reports the audio device to be:

  Card: HDA Intel PCH
  Chip: Intel Skylake HDMI

  The speakers are working fine, but both alsamixer and pavucontrol
  (Pulseaudio Volume Control) raport the unplugged external microphone
  connector as the only sound input.

  I have tried many of the alsa model configurations (options snd-hda-
  intel model=something) without success, alsa finds only the microphone
  jack, which works fine when I plug an external microphone in it.

  Here's some info:

  lspci | grep -I audio:

  00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H
  HD Audio (rev 31)

  cat /proc/asound/cards:

  0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                              HDA Intel PCH at 0x84320000 irq 128

  And a clip from dmesg | grep snd:

  [    3.019164] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915])

  [    3.047511] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0:    mono: mono_out=0x0
  [    3.047512] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0:    dig-out=0x1e/0x0
  [    3.047512] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0:    inputs:
  [    3.047514] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D0:      Mic=0x1a

  One problem is that I can't find any model options (options snd-hda-
  intel model=something) or other parameters for the card's model
  (ALC255), I suppose this issue is relatively new.
