I had fedora 32 installed and the internal microphone worked well all the time.
But, after updating to fedora 33 I haven’t been able to make it work, in the Gnome settings the device is recognized but it does not catch any sound.

Hi, I solved with:

1.-
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf

then inside paste:

blacklist snd-soc-dmic
blacklist snd-acp3x-rn
blacklist snd-acp3x-pdm-dma

close(crtl+x) and save(y).

3.-reboot

after that work mic and speaker:

Hi, @mamaldonadov, welcome to this forum and thanks. This indeed works.

I have reported my case in the same bug report as you, but I don’t know why it happens.

Maybe @mamaldonadov, would you help us with this please?

Yeah, I reported it as a pulseaudio bug. Also don’t know yet whether it is really a bug in pulseaudio or the kernel or so.

Also i do have a possibly related bug: Even when I use Bluetooth headsets now, the microphone never works, regardless of which codec I choose.

Maybe also this thread can help, but it’s about Fedora 31, so really oldish…

There is progress and it seems to be some AMD issue.

Also one does not need to blacklist the whole module. A simpler workaround is in:

However, also opened a bug report for the Bluetooth headset now:
