I recently installed ArchLinux on my laptop, and everything is working fine except for my microphone.
I have a headset with a microphone, but it doesn’t seem to work. My laptop’s internal microphone functions perfectly, but the headset mic doesn’t. I’ve tried connecting different headsets, but none of them work. I can hear audio just fine; the only issue is with the microphone.
I’ve checked alsamixer, enabled and disabled everything, restored the default settings, and even looked at the sound card in the pavucontrol menu. The system recognizes the microphone, but it seems to be muted.
To help us understand a bit about your system, can you please share some hardware information. This command will get those details and generate a link that you can share here:
and then post the output here. I think yout can’t install eos-sendlog that way because eos-sendlog is from endeavouros, which mirrors are not in your sources.
Well, I tried everything, and I still couldn’t solve the problem. I found several posts similar to mine on various forums, and most of them had no solution, and the ones that did didn’t work for me.
The only thing that worked for me was using a USB sound card (or USB sound adapter, they’re the same thing). I used one from the brand VENTION, but any other should work just fine.
I simply plugged the USB sound card into my laptop, connected my headset to it, and everything worked perfectly.
If you’re facing the same issue, know that this is the ONLY SOLUTION that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
