Internal Mic and Headphone not working on hp spectre Ubuntu 20

Asked by Raj Gupta

I was never able to make headphone jack work on my HP spectre x30 (ubuntu 20.04) and I somehow learned to live with it.
but today internal mic on the laptop stopped working, this is really a issue as I am using it with zoom callls. I have tried several options of trying to remove and install pulse audio, tried to change pin setting on hdajackretask, but nothing helped.

I have dualboot with win 10 and headohone jack and mic works fine on windows.

Just to add- my laptop is connected to dell universal dock via USB, and I am using headphone jack from the dock and that works, headphone jack of laptop is not working.
My main issue right now is to make internal mic work. I would be happy if I can get the headphone jack also working :)

It's Ubuntu 20.04 not Ubuntu 20. Ubuntu 20 isn't a thing and doesn't exist
