Description of problem: On Fedora 33 Silverblue, the integrated microphone with my Lenovo P1 (2nd Gen) stops working when I plug in headphones that do not have their own built-in microphone. When the headphones are not plugged in, the only sound options in GNOME are as follows: 1. Output - "Speakers - Built-in Audio" 2. Input - "Internal Microphone - Built-in Audio" When my headphones are plugged in, I again only have one option for sound input and output. However, they change to the following: 1. Output - "Headphones - Built-in Audio" 2. Input - "Microphone - Built-in Audio" With the headphones plugged in, no audio is captured in standard applications (Firefox, Chrome, Cheese). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 33.20210309.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the computer with no external headphones attached. 2. Test the microphone by recording a video in Cheese. 3. Verify that the recording includes microphone input. 4. Plug in headphones which do not include their own microphone 5. Test the microphone again by recording a video in Cheese. 6. Verify the recording includes microphone input. 7. In GNOME sound settings, try to revert the audio to use the internal microphone and speakers. Actual results: Images record the second time, but audio does not. Cannot revert to using Speakers for sound output and Internal Microphone for input. Expected results: Speakers and Internal Microphone can always be selected for sound output/input. Switching to Internal Microphone for sound input allows sound to be captured in Cheese recordings. Additional info:
Update - of course now the microphone works. Changing reproducibility to "Sometimes." I have often observed that the microphone stops working when I need to attend a BlueJeans meeting. Thereafter the microphone stops working for all other applications, and many times a reboot cycle does not help. Perhaps I need to "reboot + wipe out Chrome session?"
Updated - discovered that this is an issue when I plug in a headset that does not have a microphone that can be connected to a computer.
