Anyone have a microphone working on a Pinebook Pro? - Rachel Stone - 02-12-2021
I recently learned that i cannot record with a built in microphone. Is this a common issue or does anyone have microphone working on Pinebook Pro?

You are in the wrong section. This area is for the PinePhone. Might want to move this to the Pinebook Pro section.

@The3DmaN Thread moved.
@Rachel Stone You might want to check the privacy switch for the microphone:

The keyboard firmware really ought to expose these switches over USB. They can be read only. That way it can show up that there microphone is disabled via privacy switch, instead of just mysteriously not working.
And put something on the keyboard markings about the functionality!

@xyzzy I made the suggestion to Jack for his keyboard firmware;
https://github.com/jackhumbert/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater/issues/10
It's not implemented, yet?.

Exporting that information would be neat, which could even be done through another, separate USB endpoint, but I think that the reverse engineering of the keyboard firmware requires a lot more work before something like that could be done.
