Hi,
for a few days before my vacation I noticed, that my mic was missing from the settings (using KDE). Several search results didn’t help and I don’t want to break it any further by editing any files without knowing what I am doing. I just uninstalled easyeffects and reinstalled pipewire before I rebooted in hopes it would fix anything but sadly it didn’t.
I’m using headphones through a headphone jack and an USB soundbar. The mic is also connected through USB and was always also displayed as an output device as well as an input device. Currently it is only listed as an output device.
Here are some infos that might help finding the issue:
