Anyone experiencing muffled audio after upgrading to Fedora 44? I just upgrade over the weekend from Fedora 43 and my audio sounds low and muffled. It is also apparently affecting the built-in mic as my co-workers reported difficulty making out what I was saying in Teams meetings.

And right on point, as soon as I post on a forum looking for help I figured out the issue. Looks like the upgrade unset the audio profile on the audio device. Setting it back to Analog Stereo Duplex fixed the issue.

I have the same issue with the microphone but the sound config looks ok.
I rollbacked to Fedora 43 and the microphone works fine.
What could I do to fix the microphone issue on Fedora 44?

I get different results with `arecord -l`

On Fedora 43:

The DMIC device is missing. But I can’t manage to get it back
