Motherboard input jacks not working pulseaudio

Hello, I've been having an issue with pulseaudio picking up any input at all from my rear connected microphone. I'm using a AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard with an nvidia graphics card. I use alsa with pulseaudioo however I've tried without. Pavucontrol does show that the microphone is plugged in and unmuted. I've tried every possible combination of settings in alsamixer however it's a no go. I've also tried line in, and the front microphone jack. I use the rear output jack connected  to my headset and amplifier, that works fine. When an application (Discord in my case) is trying to record pavucontrol shows it's recording from the right device.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Motherboard input jacks not working pulseaudio

Post the output of the alsa-info.sh script as well.

What's weird here is that your mic seems to have a volume definition of infinity. That said at least in this output you are playing back to the wrong device, does moving the stream in e.g. pavucontrol away from the monitor source to the mic not help?
