The suggested fix in Raymond's post #26 works for me. Microphone from headset works now. Thanks! My computer has one jack.
The build-in microphone still does not work. I'll try to test other pins as Raymond suggests in the #28 post.

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.
