Hi there!
I tried several tips from different articles and now it's working :partying_face:

STEPS:

Run ā€œsudo hdajackretaskā€

  • Click on "Show unconnected pins"
  • On "Pin ID x18" - check override and choose "Internal mic"
  • On "Pin ID x19" - check override and choose "not connected"
  • Click on "Apply now" (ignore the error msg)
  • Click on "Install boot override"
  • Exit

Now open file "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf"

  • Add the line ā€œoptions snd-hda-intel model=headset-micā€ at the end of the file.
  • Run ā€œsudo alsa force-reloadā€

That's it. Reboot the system

Now on the Settings-> Sound

  • On Output, set "Headphone - Built-in audio"
  • On Input, set "Internal Microphone - Built-in audio"

To test it, try to blow or poke over the headset mic and see the "Sensibility bar" is detecting the noise.

It worked for me after a lot of hit-and-miss trials.

Thanks for all the patience and help!
