> > So every time I reboot, pulse doesn't 'see' my mic anymore. I reboot and pavucontrol shows this: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/ivFBCII.png">https://i.imgur.com/ivFBCII.png</a> As you can see, no mic under input devices, the whole device is missing that would normally show a drop-down menu to select front, rear or line-in. Then I simply pull my mic out of the microphone jack and plug it back it and voila: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/bCcI7h2.png">https://i.imgur.com/bCcI7h2.png</a> My mic is there and it works. This happens every time I reboot. This is my alsa-info.sh output after having rebooted, with no microphone visible in pavucontrol: <a href="http://lpaste.net/159686">http://lpaste.net/159686</a> > And this is alsa-info after having taken out the mic and plugging it back in, it works now: > <a href="http://lpaste.net/159687">http://lpaste.net/159687</a> This is because your front audio panel does not support jack detection, your uefi set misc bit of pin default. The jack state of your front HP and front Mic are unknown, pulseaudio only know line in is not available. Front Mic and rear Mic are available
