Unfortunately it doesn't configure the mic properly. Attempting on a ubuntu live-usb I found the mic working. I ran the info script for both OS's (see below). My interpretation of the info dumped by the script is that ubuntu loads the `sof-audio-pci` drivers and arch linux seems to load some other intel drivers. Looking through the [arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#ALSA_firmware) I see reference to some newer laptops requiring the sof drivers: > >> [sof-firmware](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=sof-firmware) and/or [alsa-ucm-conf](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=alsa-ucm-conf) are required for some newer laptop models (mainly since 2019) because they implement their drivers with firmware provided by the [Sound Open Firmware](https://www.sofproject.org/) project. > > So installing the `sof-firmware` package and restarting the laptop unfortunately still does not fix my issue.
