[RESOLVED] I don't have the ability to record through the microphone

I connected the microphone accordingly. KDE correctly detects the connection.

I have

pactl info
Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native
Library Protocol Version: 35
Server Protocol Version: 35
Is Local: yes
Client Index: 148
Tile Size: 65472
User Name: tom
Host Name: los
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.0.3)
Server Version: 15.0.0
Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 48000Hz
Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right
Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-surround-21
Default Source: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
Cookie: bf58:6634

I have no ideas where to look for the cause.
I have

.
Where to look for the cause? I checked on another computer, the microphone works.

Re: [RESOLVED] I don't have the ability to record through the microphone

Two channel microphones are usually a lie, do things work if you mute one of the channels if you check e.g. in pavucontrol? What are you using to record? During a recording attempt what's your output for

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

Re: [RESOLVED] I don't have the ability to record through the microphone

What a guy I am... I bought a Maono AU-102 microphone, in order for it to work with the computer you have to switch it to "Camera" mode
