bigrammy Ya I noticed alot of asus sound issues online
I think if he gets that setting it will work
I have no selection for (stereo output + Stereo input)
interesting

      darkserge select Pro Audio for the profile then reboot and view the input devices tab and look to see if any of the "Hardware Input Devices" listed show any signs of life.

          Axios I have 2 configuration profiles and all the various Analog and Digital profiles and the Pro Audio 😆 I have no idea how any of this sound stuff actually works it all seems over complicated to me. 😢

          @darkserge I am going to get some sleep now let us know how you get on.

            Kinda basic question we are talking internal mic and not a headset?

            bigrammy that worked it shows up in sound input in budgie settings but it didn't get rid of that annoying f9 keyboard mute light

                darkserge Awesome so glad it's working!
                My keyboard didn't come with lights of any kind so that's a first world problem I can't help with. 😂
                Hopefully this internal Mic detection and loading problem gets solved officially one day. 🤞

                  darkserge Yup glad its working also
                  But hey thats what the forum is for we have enuf people something usually transpires out of things.

                    As a possible Work around!
                    According to https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc
                    It's possible to create a /home/.asoundrc file that can be modified to set your chosen hw device as the default.
                    Could someone familiar with this sort of thing create a .asoundrc template we can easily edit adding our details
                    from arecord -L and or arecord -l or aplay -L aplay -l

                    Arch wiki gives some info about this and I think it would be useful for those with problem devices and SOF issues.
                    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture/Troubleshooting#Setting_the_default_microphone/capture_device

                    I would do it myself but I am not confident in my comprehension and coding skills sorry

                      bigrammy I suck at coding myself and that info doesn't help me much.

                      Something of note the mic is detected if you fresh install solus from the site, once you sudo eopkg up it doesn't detect the mic anymore unless you select pro audio from pavucontol

                          darkserge Yes it's all a bit clunky but at least you can get it working using the pavucontol.
                          Just for Info that unused S/PDIF in Alsamixer was for My HDMI when I un-muted it the Audio worked via HDMI which it didn't before but yours may well work fine but if it doesn't you know were to look first.
                          It seems like Solus & SOF did a better job integrating your sound-card than it did with mine which is a bit of a hybrid system implementation it seems.

                            darkserge I find it curious it goes to pot after the first update.
