ReillyBrogan Hi, I just tried to use Pipewire and that didn't work well at all. I had no audio output or input and the Audio Settings just froze everything when trying to select a device 🤣
Anyway I managed to revert back to PulseAudio and the Sound is working again except the Mic of course.

      ReillyBrogan Hi I followed some search instruction and used the cmd "systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse" rebooted & when I checked it said pipewire was running.
      If that's wrong let me know the correct way please.

      On a side note I run the alsa-info script as suggested by SOF project so hopefully it may be more concise & helpful (Link Below)

      Thanks for Helping I can't imagine how difficult this is trying to diagnose something like this remotely.

          bigrammy You also need to install wireplumber. The full command is systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber. You need to log out and log back in to get it working.

              ReillyBrogan Hi I run the full command and the sound output works now using PipeWire but the Microphone still shows no signs of life. : (
              I have messed with all the configs in the PulseAudio Volume Control but still no luck.
              I have done a full reboot also but still the same result no Mic.

              EDIT: I Messed around and now Audacity is capturing my voice from these Mic's 😀
              So now I have some sign of life how can I use device 7 (a stereo mic) as the system default mic ? Nothing else system side see's these two Mics well by that I mean PulseAudio Volume Control doesn't.

                ReillyBrogan Hi it's all working as it should Now and here is the thing I have no idea what actually fixed it.
                I struggled with Pipewire and wireplumer to get any settings to stick regarding the Dmic also cheese would crash and freeze soon after starting to record video with the webcam.
                So I systemctl --user --now disable pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber and rebooted the laptop.
                I then started Audacity and the sof-hda-dsp: (hw:0,6) was still available and working as a stereo Mic.
                When I opened PulseAudio Volume Control I had the Ice Lake-P Audio Controller showing as a Input.
                I selected it as the default and all is now working beautifully !!! 😃

                PS: Thanks for the help and If you need any commands running just let me know. 😀

                    bigrammy Glad its working sometimes things arent so clear but hopefully this will
                    give them some info to iron out the bugs.
                    At least you posted feed back unlike some ppl and you never know what happened.
                    From what I read its a realationship between two things not just the SOF package and that appears
                    maybe now they are working together.
                    Again glad its working

                        bigrammy I have no idea what actually fixed it.

                        I say that after a reboot suddenly fixes the problem, never making (right away) the correlation that the reboot fixed the problem...🙂

                            brent I reboot every time I make any changes to any configs. I have edited so many config files following suggestion from many sources that I am not sure if it was one of these that worked.
                            Pipwire gave me issues from the start but maybe it was enough to make the DMic visable to PulseAudio volume control after I disabled it which it wasn't doing before.
                            Some config changes I made:
                            In alsa-base.conf
                            options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3

                            In default.pa
                            load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,7 channels=4 (I think this one may of been responsible for getting it working once pipewire was disabled IDK)

                            I also linked sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg to the default one for this but can't remember where I got that info 😅 .

                                This is very unusual, and I wish I could help you understand why it's working now but not before. Perhaps some database or settings file got corrupted along the way and your steps finally reset it somehow?

                                  ReillyBrogan Thanks 😃 I will likely do a fresh install soon so I will be more diligent in documenting things. I have some RAM and a ssd sata connector and ribbon cable coming soon to allow me to add a extra ssd so I will probably do a fresh install then. I will let you know my findings in case it should happen to anyone else.
