The title says it all the headset itself works fine, but my system doesn’t pick up the plug in microphone
try the solution from arch wiki:

not really following what i need to do here is there a video I could watch or a step by step guide, is it asking me to put this in the `/etc/pulse/default.pa file
no problem, please insert the following commands into a terminal and post the result in the forum.
pactl info
arecord -l

Edit: Not sure which JBL model you are referring to? Maybe also look at this.

had a look at that some of the commands don’t work and there is no default.pa file

follow the next steps and run the commands in terminal.
- create and open default.pa:
sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa
- insert the following code into the default.pa file:
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0
# the line above should be somewhere before the line below
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
-
press ‘ctrl’ + ‘o’ (letter, isn’t zero) and enter to overwrite/save the file.
-
press ‘ctrl’ + ‘x’ to exit nano.
-
reboot your system
reboot
that’s it 
there doesn’t seem to be a default.pa file should I just make one? also apon further inspecting I don’t have PulseAudio but pipewire-pulse instead.
What does this show?
dmesg | grep -E '(0ecb|Quantum)'

it’s ok, if you have in etc a folder named pulse is enough.

Not sure if i have the right vendor id because you haven’t responded with the above command but you can try this and see. I need the hardware id on the mic.
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
add
options snd-usb-audio index=-2 quirk_alias=0ecb203a:095116d8
reboot

Is the same so it may work. So give it a try editing the above file and adding the quirk and save and reboot.
