Dear Maintainer,


Sometime between January 5, 2025, and January 12, 2025, my laptop's internal microphone stopped working.

I had installed Debian Testing on a new laptop (Thinkpad P14s Gen 5) towards the end of December 2024, and the internal microphone was working perfectly until about a week ago.

In KDE 6 System Settings, under Sound, the microphone only appears when the "Show Inactive Devices" slider is turned on, but it is grayed out and unavailable.

Under pavucontrol, the internal microphone has been marked as "unplugged".

However, this is only when the audio profile is "Stereo Output + Stereo Input", as when it is changed to "Pro Audio", the internal microphone as "Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller Pro 6" works "Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller Pro" does not provide any output.

Other bluetooth or headset microphones do work.

Here's the results of arecord -l:

And the results of aplay -l:

Hopefully this helps. I'm not completely sure if this is the exact same bug, but it does sound similar.
