@Daniel_Schaefer I saw your commit (via Phoronix). Does the non-Pro quirk cover any of the pre-Panther Lake platforms? The description suggests it’s PTL-only.
I can attest that both the 11th gen OG and the AMD 7040 could use boost limiting - has been the case from their release. Going over 30ish percent (as expressed in the Fedora GNOME sound settings UI, anyway) quickly turns the internal mic’s output into clipped noise.
Yes, we are testing all platforms right now and will send a patch with all others out together. It will add a bunch of new IDs to also do the same when the new speakers on the old mainboards as well.

My AMD 7040 has both options on KDE Plasma
Interesting; with “raise maximum volume” disabled, how does your mic sound at, say, 70% gain? Or 50, or close to 100? On my GNOME desktops, and on both my machines (11th gen and AMD 7040), going over ~ 30% soon results in unholy amounts of clipping/noise.
If that behaves itself on your end, then what about with overboost enabled just for kicks?
Many others have reported the same on the forum, but now that you mention it, I don’t think anyone compared this across different desktops.
I guess I misunderstood your previous post. You were right that I cannot set microphone or speaker volume limitations manually to a custom value (such as 70%).
However increasing it to 150% can and will result in saturation distortion.
At lower volumes the percentage is set on a per-case basis. Different microphones, different recording/voice chat software, require different settings, which can be a headache.
I have an AMD 7840U and its microphone is not good enough imo so I almost exclusively use a headset.
