Once I had modified the source kernel to solve the problem, I realised
that the main issue with my laptop was the input audio of the
microphone. The input channel should be set to mono rather than stereo.
If the channel were set to stereo, the microphone would only use one
channel. This causes the recorded audio to only come out from one side,
even though the balance in pavucontrol looks "middle." You can see
audacity-screenshoot.png.

To solve this, I use EasyEffect to change the input microphone from
stereo to mono. You can see from this:

output-to-mono-in-pipewire-on-22-10

For anyone who has a problem with the microphone not detected, you may need to 
modify the source kernel. You can follow these tutorials:
1. Based on : https://jiangsc.me/2023/06/03/thinkpad-neo-14-issue-fix/
Add your Manufacturer and Product Name in sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c You can 
get it from sudo dmidecode -t baseboard

2. To Modify the source kernel, you can follow this:

That's probably all I can report. Hopefully, the next kernel update will
solve this.
