I have a new Asus X540S and the mic is not working.

It's enable in sound/input, is not mute. I try this:

Internal microphone not working

In terminal:

sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui
hdajackretask

Then: Show unconnected pins, override pin 0x12 to internal mic. Install boot override.

It worked in Ubuntu 14.04

  • why exactly 0x12?

  • this worked. It only needs (after the setting) to ensure that the mic level is high enough in sound settings (pavucontrol, etc)

  • I had to tweak the exact settings but this got me on the right path, +1 Apr 26, 2020 at 15:23
  • I'm having the same internal mic problem on my ASUS and started doing this but there is no pin 0x12 listed. There is another pin listed as being the mic...so do I do that to that one even if it's not pin 0x12?

Edit this configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

And add this line:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=laptop-dmic

  • Do I need to restart anything after?

  • Didn't help, is the index supposed to be the soundcard #?
