So I recently bought a Dell XPS 17 9700 laptop for work and installed Mint 20.1 in dual boot mode alongside windows on it. I've installed 20.04 oem linux firmware on 5.10 kernel. My sound output works perfectly, however, I can't use the microphone as it's not recognized by the OS.
As shown on the screenshots, no input device is detected in PulseAudio Volume Control, and I can't do anything with Soundwire microphones in the settings (the volume knob is locked).
Here is the output of *pacmd list-cards* :

Thanks in advance to anyone who will be able to help me, that is extremely appreciated as this is my work computer so I desperately need the mic audio to work.
