The internal microphone is not working for
System76 Gazelle gazp9 which is a Clevo laptop under the hood.
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS bionic

I think I did a Zoom interview a few years ago, and it worked, but the microphone hasn't worked for the last few months.

This is an old laptop with two input jacks, one for microphone, and one for head phones. My headphones have a combo mike in the cord. Maybe if I had a separate microphone, it would work. Or if I had a splitter.

But when nothing is plugged into the mike jack, the internal microphone does not work. The input settings have an orange bar that is supposed to oscillate if it picks up sound, but nothing is shown on that when I speak. If I put my combo cable in that jack, it briefly oscillates, but that's like a fluke. Something is live there - maybe the device is recognized - but it's not working.
