Microphone problems after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04.1 (AMD Ryzen 7040)

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

Hi,

I have been having microphone problems after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04.1.

As tested in both Discord and Skype locally, voice recorded from the microphone has heavy static noise and intermittent drops in volume.

Did anyone seen similar issue, or have any suggestions?

My framework is ryzen 7640 using last gen webcam/microphone kit (not the latest one); previously I was on Ubuntu 22.04. Currently kernel is 6.8.0-44-generic.

I also applied this fix for headphone jack:

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save

interestingly it reverts to 1 after some days. Not sure why it reverts & when is it applied (boot time vs real time).

I have the same issue. Also 2 days ago I updated from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. For now, I connected a USB mic. But I wish to solve the problem.

Install Realtek Audio drivers in Ubuntu 20.04 (Intel Nuc nuc10i7fnh) - Ask Ubuntu this helped my problem

I upgraded three days ago, and the microphone works fine (with Telegram at least).
But the fingerprint sensor is not recognized anymore, and I can’t open LibreOffice.
I’ve tried all the fingerprint troubleshooting guides I could find, it didn’t help.
(Processor : Ryzen 7840U, Kernel : Linux 6.1.0-1036-oem )
The upgrade gave error messages that some things went wrong, but these are the only details I’ve noticed so far.

Anyone else with similar issues ?
I thought about opening a new discussion for that, but found this one so not sure if it’s necessary.

This post solved my problem - I turned down microphone level in settings to around 30% and the noise is gone.
