I did some research and found that the 4 array microphone system is directly connected to the AMD CPU via the AMD ACP (Audio Co-Processor, PCI ID 1022:15e2). AMD added support via the snd_rn_pci_acp3x kernel module in Linux 5.8.
AMD calls it TrueAudio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_TrueAudio) and it's a technology to speed up audio processing (think of noise reduction).
The HDMI audio is instead managed by the snd_hda_intel kernel module.
