M1 microphone extremely quiet
I have recently noticed a new issue on my M1 MBP running Fedora Linux Asahi Remix 44 with KDE Plasma, where the microphone, while still working, is extremely quiet. All controls I can find are set to 100%, but the audio being received by the OS seems to be at about 10% of what would be expected. This is happening at the system level, not just within an application, based on the gain indicator in the audio tray and microphone test in KDE Settings.
I know for certain that this has not always been an issue, but the only thing I have done to the system, in between it being a normal volume and now, is apply updates.
I have had some difficulty searching for solutions because the microphone is functioning and doing so without distortion, it's just very quiet, even at full volume.
If anyone has ideas or suggestions, or there are known issues I haven't been able to find reference to, that would be greatly appreciated.
