I bought a new usb mic and got it working yesterday. But today it no longer works.
Both alsa and pulse detect the microphone but they don't seem to pick up on any sound from it. I've tried to find a fix on the wiki and general searching but I can't find anything.
One thing I've noticed is that running
arecord -d 3 -f cd test.wav
no longer returns. It's just stuck. (It should take only 3 seconds from the -d arg)
The output of
arecord -l
is
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: PRO [KIMU PRO], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I've also checked and the mic is not muted on both alsa and pulse and it is selected as the preferred microphone.
Thanks in advance

And which device are you recording on (given no additional information, the command as posted would record from the internal audio card not from the USB)? What's the output of
arecord -L

looks alright from a software pov, ensure you didn't accidentally hit some hardware mute on the mic.

Nope, it's unmuted.

Connected the microphone to the front port of the PC instead of the back port and it started working. I guess it's time to buy a new motherboard
