I’m having problems with my 3.5mm combo jack. I’m using a headset but the mic on my headset isn’t working. I’ve changed it in the system settings from internal mic to headset mic but no sound comes out. Then I tried to go back to the internal mic on the laptop and it worked. Then I tried to go back to the headset mic but no sound came out. I’ve tried reinstalling the driver and updating the driver. It’s still the same. Please help.
Please can you provide your

Correctly detect microphone plugged in a 4-pin 3.5mm (TRRS) jack
On some modern laptops, you may have a combined 3.5mm headset jack, instead of two separated ones, which may not be correctly detected by default. To make ALSA correctly detect plug-in status on your 3.5mm jack, you can put the following line into your
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:options snd_hda_intel index=0 model=*your_model_setting*For a complete list of options to put in
your_model_setting, see HD-Audio Codec-Specific Models or its source located at/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/Documentation/sound/hd-audio/models.rst(provided by the linux-docs package). A common model isdell-headset-multi, even if the hardware is not from Dell
This suggestion also appears on the ArchWiki ASUS page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/ASUS
Add
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-dmic position_fix=3 ac97_quirck=alc_jackto/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.confto get mic and headphone/mic to work
I hope that helps, welcome to the community @Darksteel1891.

is this executed using the terminal or not??
You can use micro in terminal or kate to create or edit the file alsa-base.conf, path to the file is /etc/modprobe.d/
OK, it’s done and it’s working too, thank you for your help, but sometimes I have to remove the 3.5mm jack first so that my headset mic works again, thank you very much
