Microphone/Headset doesnt work

Neofetch: https://i.imgur.com/yFTlj2k.png

Whenever I change the recording device to Microphone my mic works but my audio stops working and when i change it to Headset microphone it works but then my microphone doesnt work.

On windows my headset microphone would only work with Maxx audio waves installed.

Anything i can try btw im using pipewire-pulse i tried pipewire + pipewire-jack but that didnt work

Re: Microphone/Headset doesnt work

You change your recording device where and how? What's your output for

aplay -l
arecord -l
pactl list sinks
pactl list sources

post that as text in code tags
