Cannot make my microphone work

Hello,

I am currently using Arch + PulseAudio for my audio setup. Everything works greatly (speakers, bluetooth earbuds)  but there is one thing that I cannot make work, whatever I try : my microphone.

I've seen a lot of fixes (I'll try the ones I can still remember) but nothing still. I am now doubting that my computer has a microphone since I did not try to use it in a while.

I have tried :

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Pulse

  • Removing the files in .config/pulse

  • Restarting the pulse services

➜  ~ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC294 Analog [ALC294 Analog]

Sorry if I am missing something, this is my first post. Does anyone have an idea on where to check ?

Regards

Re: Cannot make my microphone work

Microphone you're plugging into a jack or something built-in?

What do you get from

arecord -lL
amixer -c0 
pactl list cards
pactl list sources
#During a recording attempt
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list source-outputs
