I have recently installed Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on my MacBook pro 10.02 and noticed that the microphone is not working. It does not matter if I try to use the built-in (internal) microphone, or if I plug in a headset (jack), or use a bluetooth headset. The sound settings give me the option to select given microphone as input, however the selected microphone does not work. I have spent quite some time googling and looking for a solution but nothing so far worked.

Symptoms:

Microphone does not detect any sound. It does not matter what microphone I try to use (internal, headset..).

Here is, what I tried:

  1. Checking the Sound Settings in Ubuntu and making sure the input device is selected and not muted.
  2. Adding options snd-hda-intel model=mbp102 to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
  3. Making sure that "Analog Stereo Duplex" is selected in pavucontrol (configuration panel).
  4. Using alsamixer and increasing the microphone's gain
  5. Connecting unconnected pins using hdajackretask as suggested here
  6. Reinstalling pulseaudio
  7. Booting into different live ubuntu distros (18.04, and 22.04) - the issue prevails.
