Thank you for pointing that out!  
For some of us, with Ubuntu / pulseaudio, there is another file path to check:  
/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input-internal-mic.conf  
A bit confusing, as both files are present.

For a temp fix, someone could run “alsamix”, F4 for Capture, LEFT-ARROW to “Internal Mic Boost”, DOWN-ARROW till dB gain is 0, ESC to exit.

If you’re still having Input Gain issues during calls, try editing `/etc/pulse/default.pa` and replace  
`load-module module-echo-cancel` line with  
`load-module module-echo-cancel aec_args="analog_gain_control=0 digital_gain_control=0"` and restart pulseaudio with `pulseaudio -k`
