To be fair, they moved quickly on it. I received notice from kernel maintainers that the patch landed in the branches for the next 6.6 and 6.1 kernel releases.

Fedora 39 now has 6.6.7-200.fc39.x86_64 on updates. Tested that everything works without the modules update. 15 day isn’t that bad for upstream kernel submission to Fedora distro kernel update. To be fair, it’s also a first time submission and a simple one a that. I hope it encourages others to contribute patches in the future.

I am using Fedora 42 on the Framework 13 with the AMD HX 370 and I’ve also been having issues with external mics not being recognised by alsa. Not even on a live USB with Ubuntu 24.04 or Fedora 42, so it’s not a software/configuration issue on my end.
I reached out to support and they sent me a new audio card. Replacing it caused no change, so it’s unlikely it’s a hardware issue. I also triple checked that this headset also works fine on my previous Thinkpad laptop still.
The external microphone in question is this one, which I use as a cable for a Phillips headset: V-Moda Boompro Microphone for Gaming & Communication - Black, wired - 3.5 mm Jack : Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games
Out of desperation, because I really need the external mic for work, I tried the workaround from earlier in this thread ([SOLVED] Headset Mic on AMD FW13 running Fedora 39 - #14 by James_Richards) and rebooted. To my surprise, the external mic works now! The internal mic stopped working now, but I can live with that as I don’t need it.
I have found my workaround but I would love to understand what’s going on. From my reading of the thread, Fedora 42 should contain a new enough kernel (and alsa, and pipewire, etc) so that no system tweaks need to be made for external mics to work. I should note that I also tested a USB mic and that always worked, so it’s just an issue with the jack port.

I’m using arch Linux on the new framework AMD 7 ai 350.
I have the same problem. The internal mic has too much gain. Settings the gain to 25% works fine.
The headphone microphone is not recognized. I’m able to listen audio from my 3.5 jack headphone but only the internal mic work and the one from the headphone in not recognized.
I don’t think that is and hardware issue. Right now for me is not a big issue so I didn’t test any workaround.
Please elaborate on the status of your internal (digital) microphone because I have the same issue on the same hardware 
!
That is, my internal microphone on another new FW 13 with the AMD HX 370 also does not work. My external microphone works fine. The sound from the internal microphone is bad quality in Fedora 42 Live (running from a USB stick) and not working in Bluefin 41 GTS. Is your internal microphone in a SUSPENDED state?
I posted details on the Universal Blue discourse since the issue is worse on Bluefin GTS than on Fedora 42 Live:
