I can reproduce this issue in Kubuntu 25.10 (questing) under Wayland (if that matters?). The issue started when updating from linux- image-6.17.0-12-generic to linux-image-6.17.0-14-generic. Under linux- image-6.17.0-14-generic it goes away when I blacklist the driver snd_soc_avs.
** Description changed: Something caused `blacklist snd_soc_avs` to be required on 6.17.0-14-generic. 6.17.0-12-generic was working as it had `snd_hda_intel`.

Restarting services sometimes restores mic temporarily. ** Description changed: Something caused `blacklist snd_soc_avs` to be required on 6.17.0-14-generic. 6.17.0-12-generic was working as it had `snd_hda_intel`.
