        <pre>I have a Dell XPS 13 (2015) with Broadwell hardware.
I am on Arch Linux x86_64, latest version of Pulseaudio and pavucontrol.

When I power on my laptop, microphone is not working.
In order to enable it I have to use that instructions
(<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(9343)#Enabling_the_microphone">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(9343)#Enabling_the_microphone</a>).

Issue n.1: Why my microphone is not working "automatically" ?

As you note, there are two ways in order to achieve the goal; the second one is
using `pavucontrol`, simply switching the two entries in the menu (full
instructions here again:

Issue n.2: Why I have to switch twice in order to get the working microphone ?

If you need further information I am here</pre>
