Thank you for your in-depth answer.
I tested my configuration in order to compare it to yours. It looks like my rig has different hardware than yours.
My rig is equipped with an [AMD/ATI] Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller [1002:1637]. I'm running with kernel version 5.15.0-102-generic. I have a different type Audio Processor [1025:1537]
with kernel driver in use: snd_rn_pci_acp3x. I'm not sure if the new driver that you mentioned is applicable for it. What kernel version are you running on?Here are my findings:

I did a deep dive on the audio hardware that is contained in the Acer SF314-43 from a Linux perspective.
I found the following devices (source: Hardware for Linux):
- BUS ID / Class Vendor Device Type Driver
- PCI 1002:1637:1025:1537 »
/ 04-03 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller sound snd_hda_intel » - PCI 1022:15e3:1025:1537 »

/ 04-80Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD]ACP/ACP3X/ACP6x Audio Coprocessormultimedia controller snd_pci_acp3x, snd_rn_pci...
The is supported by Linux Kernel driver: snd_hda_intel.
There is another device: that is also supported by driver: snd_hda_intel.
Finally there is the that is supported by a list of drivers: snd_pci-acp3x, snd_rn-pci-acp3x, snd_pci-acp5x, snd_pci-acp6x, snd_pci-rn, acp-pci, snd_rpl-pci-acp6x, snd_pci-ps, and pci-rmb.
Currently in use are the drivers:
- Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
- Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
- Kernel driver in use: snd_rn_pci_acp3x
- Kernel modules: snd_pci_acp3x, snd_rn_pci_acp3x, snd_pci_acp5x, snd_pci_acp6x
In this configuration the internal microphones do not work.
How would I get and how would I go about to configure: snd_pci_ps to be used ?

I found the problem!
Sound Server PipeWire and Sound Server PulseAudio interfere with each other.
If they are both running (verify with command:
$ inxi -Aa) then you can disable PipeWire with command:$ systemctl --user mask --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user stop pipewire.service
Then stereo recording works (only the left and right mic recording channels are switched.)
