[SOLVED] Pipewire noise suppression no longer working

Hello, I set up noise suppression via `noise-suppression-for-voice` a few weeks ago using the noise-suppression-for-voice AUR package and this config. It was working fine up until recently.

Now, I still see the noise-suppressed audio source in pavucontrol, Discord, etc, but I'm not getting any input from it. Switching to my microphone input shows that the actual input is coming in fine. I tried running pipewire with debug logging but I didn't see anything interesting.

Any idea what I can look at next to debug this?

Install helvum and check what is routed where. You can modify it accordingly. I don't know about making it persistent, but I know pipewire upstream tend to fix issues quite fast, so you might want to inform them if it's no longer routing the mics correctly.

Thanks, looks like my webcam isn't routed to the Noise-Suppressed source anymore.

What connections should I make here? I tried connecting the Webcam's capture_FL and capture_FR to the Noise-Suppressed Source inputs but it's still not working.

Mod Edit - Replaced oversized image with link.
CoC - Pasting pictures and code

Connecting them as you describe is what I'd do. What does not work after doing that? You should be able to select the NS Source in the program you want to talk.

Huh, after connecting them I still wasn't seeing any input in pavucontrol.

I looked in my configuration and it looks like my motherboard's profile was set to "Pro Audio" which was causing it to override the webcam's mic. I set it to "Analog Stereo Output" instead. Everything is working now, thanks for the help!
