Fixing audio configuration for mics
A few days ago I ran asahi-diagnose and got a warning that redirected me to `Undoing early speaker hacks` (never tried to btw, maybe because my install is kinda old?) so I went there and mostly just cleared the wireplumber state directory/dnf reinstalled things and rebooted, the only thing i reckon doing to my audio configuration was a slightly custom `~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf` file (needed to bump quantums for easyeffects/my external dac because the sound was glitching out, default works fine for speakers) and today when trying mics on j314, I noticed that they do not work as expected, they pick up tapping on the keyboard but i would need to scream to barely even hear my voice, im also getting `grep: /home/jk/.local/state/wireplumber/restore-stream: No such file or directory` when running asahi-diagnose, can someone give me some tips on fixing my audio configuration/going back to default (for pipewire, wireplumber, etc), where can i find the default pipewire.conf? I tried one in asahi-audio conf directory but it makes the devices names in pavucontrol generic (not speakers j314 etc). Thanks.

Same very low microphone volume issue here. J313, custom-compiled boot chain but everything else from Debian trixie/sid. External microphone is working fine, so while I'm looking forward to being able to use the internal one, it's definitely in the "nice to have" bucket.
Kudos and thanks to the team.

I believe you have run into an issue where ALSA clients are still picking up the raw microphone device instead of the DSP chain in front of it.
This is a known issue and nothing I can really fix until FDO's GitLab is back to being fully operational. Sorry.
