Could you elaborate?  The mic bias level could be changed via the pin
control value.  Usually, it's set as VREF 80%.

This is a known bug in alsa-lib mixer abstraction.  No kernel issue.

You can find *.INI file that contains the default pin configuration
in Windows.  This might be useful in the case BIOS is broken but
Windows does a black magic.

Anyway, please run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option and show the
generated file here.  It contains the codec information and mixer
setup.

Also, you can adjust the pin setting on the fly via hda-verb utility
below:

Don't forget to build snd-hda-intel module with
CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y to use this command.
