Simply put, external microphone (classic cable jack input) does not
work.

First off, please try the latest kernel, at best 5.11.  It makes further
debugging easier.

After confirming the latest kernel still doesn't work, let's try to
switch to the legacy HD-audio snd-hda-intel driver; we're checking only
about the external mic, and it makes easier to debug, too.  Boot with
snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 boot option, and it'll forcibly use the
legacy driver.  Note that, with this, the built-in mic won't work with
this.

Once after that, you can try to pass a different model option to snd-
hda-intel module.

OK, I wait until Ubuntu ships 5.11 natively and then let you know.
5.10 will be not enough in 21.04?

Sad is that it used to work before - until some upgrade along the way...

Meanwhile, just tested "snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1" boot option
and... nope, has not fixed the problem. There is a change it the name of
the device - something like "...Analog input..." instead of something
like "...SmartSound Technology..." but external cable mic is not working
nevertheless.

Regarding "passing different option to snd-..." I am not sure what you
exacly mean? You mean try this "sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 ...."
kinda' hacking?

Thank you!

The debug will be based on 5.11.x, so it's better to move it at first.

About the different option to snd-hda-intel: no, you can pass "model" option to 
snd-hda-intel module to apply some device-specific quirk.  For example,
  snd_hda_intel.model=alc255-acer
boot option will apply some Acer-specific workaround.  Or try
  snd_hda_intel.model=headset-mic

There are quite many model options for the Realtek codecs.  A part of
available values are found in Documentation/sound/hd-audio/models.rst,
the section for ALC269.

crysman, with Ubuntu you can easily test Linux kernel releases using
their builds [1]. Download the package and install with `sudo dpkg -i
…`.
