A thing noticeable about the diff of the working and broken internal
microphone is that the one that's not working shows the processes that
are accessing the sound card (pacmd list-clients) includes libcanberra.

The other thing I wondered about is that in the broken one, the IRQ pin
numbers reported by "cat /proc/asound/cards" and "lspci -vvv | grep -A9
Audio" are different.
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf7e14000 irq 34
1 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH

I don't know if this has anything to do with why this internal mic stops
working. I wonder what is calling libcanberra.

Title:
Microphone not working in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS on new hp-
spectre-x360-convertible-15 laptop
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Internal Microphone does not work in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS in a new hp-
spectre-x360-convertible-15 laptop. The microphone works perfectly on
Windows 10 (present in Dual boot mode).
Initially, Internal Microphone was not even detected but installing
alsa-tools-gui and overriding pin 0x12 to the Internal Microphone
fixed that issue. [Pin 0x13 does not work and causes static in a
headphone if it is plugged in.]
Microphone is not able to pick up any sound. I changed levels/settings in
alsamixer, pavucontrol without any success:
In alsamixer: Experimented with levels ranging from very low to very high for
Internal Mic, Capture, etc.
In pavucontrol: Set the Internal Mic as a fallback device, unlocked the
channels for the mic, experimented with reducing the level for one of the
channels (reduced right mic level to Silence while keeping the left mic level
normal/high and vice versa).
