What is happening
I recently installed fedora 34 on my laptop, before I was using Ubuntu 18.04 and my mic was working fine, them I decided to change to fedora 34 and everything was ok until I try to use my microphone and I figured that it just refuses to record any input, after little search I found that fedora 34 is using pipewire, I tried several possible fixes but none worked.
System info
Ideapad 320 15ikb
I5-8250u
8gb ddr4
Intel uhd 620 / MX150
Audio device info:
$ pw-record --list-targets
Available targets ("*" denotes default):
* 44: description="Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" prio=2009
$ lspci | grep Audio

$ arecord -l

Already tested fix
Alternatives found on the internet and that didn't work (after each possibility above I restarted the computer):
- sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio
- sudo dnf install --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pipewire-libjack
- systemctl --user restart pipewire
- systemctl --user restart pipewire*
- sudo nano /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/alsa-monitor.conf (changed => api.alsa.use-acp from true to false)
- Tried to remove pipewire and install pulse audio, but when I try to: sudo dnf remove pipewire it said that gnome-shell will be removed
Observations
- External microphones connected throw usb work just fine
