Subject: Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E Gaming Wifi (ACL4082) - No audio from rear microphone

alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #718 was edited from cristian-tamblay:

The Rear Microphone is detected as Line In when I plug in my mic. There is no sound from the microphone. 
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI
Audio Device: ALC4082
USB ID: 0b05:1b9b  
Distro: Ubuntu 24.04
Window Manager: Gnome-Shell

Before patching UCM locally, Linux exposed only generic USB audio profiles and the rear jack behaved like line input.
After adding USB ID `0b05:1b9b` to the UCM matching rules, the device now loads proper `HiFi` profiles and exposes `Microphone`, `Front Microphone`, and `Line Input` sources, but the rear microphone still does not record actual voice audio.

Recording now produces at most a small click/pop when capture starts, but no usable microphone signal.

I added `1b9b` in two places.

1) `/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/USB-Audio/USB-Audio.conf`
2) `/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/USB-Audio/Realtek/ALC4080-HiFi.conf`

`lsusb | grep -i audio`
`Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0b05:1b9b ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB Audio`

`alsactl monitor`  (unplugging and plugging mic)
