Kernel has a few different drivers for the Intel chip, one is the standard (legacy) HD-audio driver, and another is ASoC Intel SST driver. There is a newcomer, ASoC SOF Intel HD-audio driver, too. The last two support the built-in mic (d-mic) that is driven over another bus than HD-audio bus, and they need own firmware files. The firmware file, skl_hda_dsp_generic-tplg.bin, could be compiled from the standard file included in alsa-topology-conf package. Could you try the following? % sudo zypper in alsa-topology-conf % alsatplg -c /usr/share/alsa/topology/hda-dsp/skl_hda_dsp_generic-tplg.conf -o skl_hda_dsp_generic-tplg.bin % sudo cp skl_hda_dsp_generic-tplg.bin /lib/firmware Then reboot and retest.
