Hi,

well audio is now working. What is not working is the microphone. I
have made a call test but my mic is mute. I have searched the Internet
to find a solution but I am still stuck here! Perhaps an oss issue?

Have you got any suggestion or information I can provide in order to
help me and get it working?

Regards,
Daniele.
