Hello Garuda users.
here's what garuda-inxi says about my audio devices:
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI
driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel alternate: snd_soc_skl bus-ID: 00:1f.3
chip-ID: 8086:9d70 class-ID: 0403
Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.18.3-zen1-1-zen running: yes
Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 16.0 running: no
Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.52 running: yes
the main problem is that the OS doesn't pick anything up, all I hear whenever I listen to what it's picking up is a bunch of noise.
This noise I also hear on windows sometimes, I use the microphone of my headset, and normally when you plug in a headset a popup appears asking you what device you're using (Headphones, microphone, headset, etc...) and I'd normally have to select Headset for the mic to work and for there not to be any noise. However, this doesn't happen on Linux, there's no way I know of for me to select headphones and I'm stuck with random noise.
here is what "aplay --list-devices" shows:

Did you disable fastboot in BIOS/M$?
Sometimes M$ appropriates the PC hardware for itself, because there are no other operating systems that could also access it.
May need to be repeated after M$ updates.

If it is a 3.5mm jack and the port can also be used for audio, you have to announce to ALSA that you want to use the microphone. It is explained in the Arch Wiki here :
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 is dell-headset-multi, even if the hardware is not from Dell.

I just tried that, I tried out many of the models that applied to me and I got mixed results.
Some models allowed me to switch which microphone to use in the audio pop up menu at the top and gave me the option to use Headset Microphone and/or Microphone, but even when I have those options selected, no sounds seems to be picked up. Not even the noise that comes from the internat microphone, it's just silent. Maybe it's just me not choosing the right models toh
