No sound input from Fifine USB microphone in Telegram and PulseAudio

I'm using a Fifine USB microphone on Linux (PipeWire with PulseAudio compatibility). The mic is detected and works with arecord -D hw:0,0, and I can hear the recorded audio.

However:

    In pavucontrol, the mic appears but shows no input level.

    In parecord, the recording creates a file, but it contains no sound.

    Telegram Desktop sees the mic, but doesn't record any audio.

I've tried restarting PipeWire, checking profiles in pavucontrol, and verifying with arecord, which works. But PulseAudio-based apps don't receive audio input from the mic.

Any ideas?

Re: No sound input from Fifine USB microphone in Telegram and PulseAudio

Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

Somehow, YouTube video playback suddenly stopped working. While searching for a solution, I stumbled upon this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276918 , and found that running

pacman -Syu pipewire-media-session

did the trick.

Not only did YouTube start working again, but I also started hearing sound from my device — the volume meter began responding too.

Re: No sound input from Fifine USB microphone in Telegram and PulseAudio

Hi everyone again,
For some reason, the sound stopped working.

I was cleaning my room and unplugged the USB microphone.
After I plugged it back in, the sound stopped working.

Please help.

Re: No sound input from Fifine USB microphone in Telegram and PulseAudio

Hi.

Any ideas?
