Hi. My internal mic is not working after a fresh install of TW.
It worked without any issues under Ubuntu on the same laptop.
This is on an Asus Vivobook laptop.
Thanks.
Hi, posting inxi -ASaz might help us understand what system we are dealing with.
Also, how did you install Tumbleweed? Properly set up repositories and done a zypper dup afterwards?
Hi, below is the output from inxi -ASaz. I installed TW using an .iso file from the openSuse website and also did a zypper dup afterwards.

Any specific reason to run the “longterm” kernel and not the -default one?
You may need a firmware or quirk to have that work with the internal (array?) mic; but I have no AMD HW to test atm so wait for somebody else to chime in.
I loaded the longterm kernel just to see if it makes any difference but it did not have any impact. The internal mic does not work with either.
Can you still boot Ubuntu (even a liveCD version as long as the mic works) and report what is reported by:
sudo lsmod |grep snd?
Do you have any clues as to the type of internal mic installed (DMIC or array or…)?
Can you do pactl list | susepaste and post the returned URL here?
Ports:
analog-input-internal-mic: Internal Microphone (type: Mic, priority: 8900, availability group: Legacy 1, availability unknown)
That to me looks the mic. Just shooting in the dark: is sof-firmware installed?
Yes it is installed. Version 2025.01.1-1.1.
Which desktop ? Does the device show up?
So looks like an analog mic; is snd-soc-dmic loaded perhaps? Please post:
sudo lsmod |grep snd

Ubuntu loads the ac97_bus not found in the Tumbleweed list.
Tumbleweed loads snd_sof_amd_acp70 and snd_soc_acpi_amd_match not found in the Ubuntu list.
Maybe the Tumbleweed kernel is too new for that chipset or there are regressions.
Maybe adding modprobe.blacklist=snd_sof_amd_acp70 to the boot command line is worth a shot (but it is really a shot in the dark).
Also, trying a Leap version matching the Ubuntu kernel version or finding a similar kernel installable on Tumbleweed might also help diagnose the problem.
Otherwise, file a bug report and wait for some help by Takashi Iwai.
Tried this suggestion but it did not make any difference. For now I am going back to Ubuntu as I need my internal mic to work. Will circle back to Tumbleweed when I have some time to get things working.
Thanks for all the help with this.
OK, meanwhile I got my hands on an Ideapad with the same set of 3 AMD sound chips, booted a live iso from TW 20241001 with kernel 6.11.0 and the mic works (could record video+sound from the built-in webcam).
lsmod gives something like yours in post #15 but, interestingly, without snd_sof_amd_acp70 and snd_soc_acpi_amd_match.
There is no guarantee that what works on Lenovo also works on Asus, but if you find time to test a 6.11 kernel is still available here. tiwai is the main kernel and sound developer at SUSE, so his repo is considered safe (that doesn’t mean that it is guaranteed to work on current Tumbleweed though).
Please keep us updated if you find something interesting.
