Onboard MIC not visible in list of audio input devices with pipewire

[chaitan3]

Device: Orange Pi 5B

OS: Armbian 23.5.0-trunk.135 Bookworm

 

Pipewire devices listed using pactl list sources only lists a single input device, which I think corresponds to the headphone jack input device. There should be 2 input devices, one for the onboard MIC and one for the headphone mic.

 

When trying to test  the onboard mic with arecord -l the audio is completely silent which indicates that the only device enumerated by arecord actually corresponds to the headphone MIC

 

Unforunately, I don't recall if the original OrangePi OS had both mic options listed or not, but I can check if necessary.

 

Has anyone previously tested if the onboard MIC works on Armbian?

I'm testing it now and got as far as stated here. In my case, I got PulseAudio to detect the microphone by adding:

load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:2,0

above this line:

.ifexists module-udev-detect.so

in the `/etc/pulse/default.pa` file.
