USB sound card missing pulse audio profiles and no microphone input

I'd been waiting for 5.11 to roll around on hopes that my issue was https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=254097 but little has changed.

So the device shows up in arecord fine, but there are no microphone options in pavucontrol.

I have needed to load in my sinks for this card manually as well

Re: USB sound card missing pulse audio profiles and no microphone input

Please use [ code ]  rather than [ quote ] for sharing file contents.

These manual loading attempts just read random to me are you absolutely certain you need them in the way you are adding them? I suggest you remove all of these and then look at the udev detected state first. Also we make a jump from card 0 to card 2, is this intentional? Do you have modprobe config files? Post them if so.

Can you record via 

arecord -Dhw:0 test.wav

Maybe also post 

pacmd list-cards

Re: USB sound card missing pulse audio profiles and no microphone input

Swapped out those quotes in the op.

I know it is silly however they're necessary for audio to consistently work removing all of them I get no audio.

Device 2 is an attempt at throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks.
