pipewire issue with microphone

hi everyone, i've got an issue passing to pipewire. I've uninstalled pulseaudio because it doesn't recognize the microphone, but neither pulseaudio nor pipewire can detect microphone. When I launch pipewire, it display this error:
pipewire.c:  105 main()] failed to create context: Address already in use.
How can I resolve?

Re: pipewire issue with microphone

Hi,

I can relate, I face the same issue. I'm on Kernel 6.5.6-arch2-1 with a Thinkpad T14s Gen 3 AMD and Firmwareversion 1.35. I use:

pipewire 1:0.3.81-1
pipewire-alsa 1:0.3.81-1
pipewire-audio 1:0.3.81-1
pipewire-media-session 1:0.4.2-2
pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.81-1
alsa-card-profiles 1:0.3.81-1
alsa-lib 1.2.10-2
alsa-plugins 1:1.2.7.1-2
alsa-topology-conf 1.2.5.1-3
alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.10-2

and everything is up-to-date.
I see that in EasyEffects the Microphones are still recognized and show noise peaks, but the apps won't see it. Another effect that is visible to me is that the Microphone-mute-led is always on now. I've tested it with a live-ubuntu and there the led is still working and representing the status.
If i increase the mic-input-level with "pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.pci-0000_03_00.6.HiFi__hw_acp6x__source 150%" the apps see some noise but only if i scream.
