[SOLVED] Microphone does not seem to work

I recently bought a cheap microphone and using it in Arch Linux has proven more difficult than I originally thought. I have looked at other wiki and forum inquiries regarding microphone issues, and I have found nothing that has helped me so far.
I apologize that I can't provide a more detailed explanation of the issue. I don't understand why it's not working myself. The devil appears to be recognized by the system, but it only produces microwave noises when I attempt to record something.

Here's the output of 'arecord -l':
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC897 Analog [ALC897 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC897 Alt Analog [ALC897 Alt Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


My desktop environment is KDE. I use pipewire and alsa.
Full specs are: GTX1050ti, Intel 10400F, 16GB memory

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone does not seem to work

Which command are you testing to test recording? During running such a command post 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sources
pactl list source-outputs

in code tags

Here's the output

[user@arch ~]$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  user     1013 F.... pipewire
                     user     1014 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC1:  user     1014 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:   user     1013 F...m pipewire
/dev/snd/seq:        user    1013 F.... pipewire

The output of the other commands was way too large and I don't know exactly what you want me to show you. Got no output from 

pactl list source-outputs

.

To record I use arecord as mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanc … Microphone.

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone does not seem to work

Post the command outputs, you will note the real benefit of code tags once you post larger outputs. The only general kind of advice I can give without seeing those outputs is that jack microphones can be fickle, make sure it's properly plugged in and potentially test the mic on a system you "know" to be working. Post the terminal outputs from trying the arecord command, did you try it against both potential options?

If you say so. I just didn't want to spam.

Like I said. No output from pactl list source-outputs. Also I know it's plugged properly because the device is listed in alsamixer, and the KDE GUI.

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone does not seem to work

. Also I know it's plugged properly because the device is listed in alsamixer, and the KDE GUI.

The only thing this tells you that the OS detects "something". If the jack is not properly fully inserted or there's some dust/debris in the jack you can get all sorts of weird behavior.

That said from these outputs, stereo mics are a lie and more often than not fuck up the recording. Try 

pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo 0,65536
parecord -d alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo --channels=1 test.wav

if that's still static, test swapping the muted channel 

pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo 65536,0

retry the same parecord command

That said from these outputs, stereo mics are a lie and more often than not fuck up the recording. Try 

pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo 0,65536
parecord -d alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo --channels=1 test.wav

if that's still static, test swapping the muted channel 

pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo 65536,0

retry the same parecord command

The output of both commands was "Invalid volume specification".

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone does not seem to work

Ah whoops, it's 

pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo 0 65536

without a comma, maybe also generally try a lower volume than 100% that can lead to artifacts depending on the mic as well.

I can hear my voice now (quality is odd but it may be because this mic is cheap).  This issue was driving me nuts. Thanks for the assistance.
