Microphone Not working in Linux (Parrot OS)

BugHunter · ‎03-27-2022

– My internal microphone not working although the speakers are working well, this happened since I upgraded Parrot OS to 4.11.3 (in the previous version it was working) –

Parrot version in use *
VERSION_ID=“5.0”
VERSION=“5.0 (LTS)”
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
*:
Kernel version *
5.16.0-9parrot1-amd64
)*:

I am using a laptop (HP ProBook 450 G8 Notebook PC) with:
CPU: 11th Gen Intel i7-1165G7 (8) @ 4.700GHz
DE: Plasma 5.20.5
Kernel: 5.16.0-9parrot1-amd64
OS: Parrot OS 5.0 x86_64

Logs/Terminal output *(

pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

content of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-amic enable=yes

Please note I wrote this content into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , before it was empty and speakers were also not working I watched a youtube video to troubleshoot this but ended up with a not working microphone…

Screenshots:

Please note that the bar below the internal microphone keeps slightly moving whether I say something or not

Also when I type pavucontrol with superuser privileges it keeps buffering to connect pulseaudio, I waited very long but still loading not showing results

MY MIC WAS ALSO WORKING ON WINDOWS 11 JUST TELLING MIC IS NOT FAULTY

PLEASE HELP ME OR TELL ME HOW TO SHOOT THE PROBLEM I AM STUCK IN THIS FOR SEVERAL DAYS

Hello @BugHunter

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

We understand that this request is regarding an HP* ProBook 450 G8 Notebook. We would like to inform you that we provide limited support when it comes to Linux operating systems. However, those support options are most likely for Intel® NUCs, Intel® Servers, Intel® Processors, etc. Also, we don't provide drivers for microphone devices on third-party systems (neither for Windows* nor for Linux).

Therefore, our recommendation for you is to review these concerns with your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) HP* so they may provide you with more assistance regarding Linux Support on this device. We also recommend you to check this with the support team or Forum Support of the Parrot OS Linux distribution.

For your convenience, here are some links with contact information:

Having said that, we will proceed to close this request now. If you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.
