Headset mic not detected on jack

Hello!
I've been using Garuda almost flawlessly on multiboot for a few weeks now, but I just noticed that even when I plug my headset I've been using the internal mic in my laptop instead, audio is fine at headphones tho.

I tried to set that jack sound server running (?) but the console just freezes at the command idk why. I was also trying to change that snd_hda_intel driver for maybe headset-mic or intel-headset-multi (?), that because I remember solving that issue years ago on Manjaro like that. The Arch doc at Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - ArchWiki suggest on adding that setup on /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, so it being:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi

This does not fix the problem tho.

I also thought on using hdajackretask but I fear from changing and overriding pins that i don't know what them do.

Anyways, I'll really appreciate some help, I just wanna use my headset mic correctly.

Here is my inxxi :

There is also to know that I have already linux-lts-headers (?) , so either I'm unusually doing something wrong or I'm doing nothing at all. I'll really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

UPDATE:

After messing up with hdajackretask now I'm able to see the "Headset Microphone" as a recording device option, but it does not recognize when plugged in and when selected is actually the internal mic working...

This is the System Settings GUI, but the same occurs on pavucontrol .

I've come across some post having the same issue when it comes to the codec Raltek ALC256 (this is on a Huawei Matebook D15), but i just can't find the right pinout settings. So, here is my hdajackrestask right now:

I guess I'll be messing with some other Pin ID mixes and configurations.

It will be worth checking which port is set as the microphone input, e.g. using pavucontrol:

for me on Plasma i had a similar issue and couldn't get my blue tooth to work, but i noticed that they just wasn't checked on the audio widget

My internal laptop mic doesn't show as installed. Lenovo thinkpads have a function key hard switch for muting, so i wonder if that was muted during installation so became virtually invisible.

Thanks to @Kevindroide above for linking the arch wiki on the alsa which i can try for manual install. But good for garuda people to know these issues.

I'm facing the same issue on IdeaPad-S145 with full AMD hardware.

Any way to fix it?

Please open a new thread for your issue; this thread is a year old and unlikely to bear relevant similarities to yours.

In addition to a description of the issue you are experiencing, please don't forget to add your garuda-inxi and a summary of the troubleshooting efforts you have made so far.
