Yes, it would be good to do some more testing. The purpose is to figure out
what exactly makes the microphone work. It seems unlikely that a profile switch
is really required.

So, in summary: after rebooting, don't open pavucontrol or other audio
programs, just record a bit of audio with parecord a few times. Before each
recording, check that the source is suspended with the pactl command I gave
earlier. If all of the recordings are bad, then switch the profile with pactl
(still don't open pavucontrol) and try again. If that fixes the audio, then
that suggests that a profile switch is indeed required (though I don't
understand why that would be the case).

Also try the other thing I suggested: after a reboot, wait for a while without
doing anything and then try recording. Maybe the hardware just takes some time
to initialize itself properly.

(Note that in the end you're most likely going to file a bug for kernel/alsa,
since this doesn't sound like anything that PulseAudio would be causing.)
