[qubes-users] Microphone disabled in firmware is showing in Qubes

I have just seen that there is a microphone device listed in the devices menu.

I have already disabled built in microphone with firmware setting and this doesn't shown in Ubuntu but is shown in Qubes. This laptop doesn't have another microphone device.

How can Qubes see this device?

The question probably comes down to: Does disabling the microphone make
it invisible or just dysfunctional? Have you researched that?

Disabled devices (like data transfer port) are normally invisible, but perhaps for microphone it is different. I will research.
