This is my first post, so please bear with me
I installed Mint on my laptop immediately after buying it and have been hoping after each kernel and system upgrade that this problem would solve itself, but unfortunately it doesn't. I've read quite a few similar posts but none of the suggestions there helped me. The problem is quite straightforward: The internal microphone isn't working - the monitor doesn't show any activity and it produces no sound when I try to use it.
Here are some (hopefully relevant) specs:
