or take a closer look at the "Configuration" tab in pavucontrol. I assume you also accidentally toggled that during your travels (or rather that the act of doing so correctly registered the lack of a mic).

Today my sound suddenly disappeared when I restarted discord.
So I did a check and found that I should check with pavucontrol, apparently I have no recording devices at all in my system.
I have done several restarts and I found nothing.
I do not use alsa, I only have pulseaudio installed and running, unless you count "pulseaudio-alsa".
here is the pulseaudio config file, I have not touched it.

I have tried doing a pacman -Syyu (also yay -Syyu to update AUR) everything is updated and working perfectly, except the microphone in my headset.
I am not sure what logs you may need or where they reside, but if you specify it and the command to retrieve it, I will get it to you asap!
Thank you for taking your time with this!
UPDATE:I am in a discord server with a friend, and it seems like they pick up on the sound from my computer, but not my microphone. I am not sure if this is relevant, but I will put it here in case it has relevance.
- in my travel in pavucontrol I accidentally activated loopback to my mic from headphones on headset.
