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

Repost these while actively trying to record something, detection wise things look fine. FWIW these outputs suggest you are not actually running on pipewire but plain pulseaudio. If you actually want to use pipewire for everything I suggest you install wireplumber in lieu of pipewire-media-session and pipewire-pulse instead of pulseaudio.

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

Yes, I was actively recording using OBS during the following outputs — the microphone was capturing audio, and OBS showed signal activity.

Here are the updated logs:

Let me know if this looks better or if there's anything else I should check.

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

Sorry this one fell off the radar a bit, the broken pipe assertions read concerning and suggest data can't be properly sent to the device.

Does direct HW access via 

arecord -Dhw:2 test.wav

work properly? If it does it could be either some incorrect sample rate reporting or too low of a quantum buffer in which case you can give the following suggestions a try: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … ample_rate -- try to bring that closer to a default of 44100 hz or so, or if you want to more fine grainedly target the mic directly, check e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … hiit_DACs) and the wireplumber section for how to apply changes to just the USB DAC/just the input and use more conservative sample rates, e.g. 

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_output.name-of-node"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        audio.format = "S16_LE"
        audio.rate = 16000
        # Following value should be doubled until audio does not cut out or other issues stop occurring
        api.alsa.period-size = 128
      }
    }
  }

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

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions.

I tried the direct hardware access command you mentioned:

 arecord -Dhw:2 test.wav

but it returned an error:

 arecord: main:850: audio open error: No such file or directory

So it seems that the device with index hw:2 does not exist or is not accessible.

Also, I applied the PipeWire/WirePlumber configuration changes to adjust the sample rate and buffer size, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the broken pipe issue.

Could you please advise how to identify the correct hardware device identifier to use with arecord? Or suggest alternative troubleshooting steps to get the device working properly?

(Also, when i try to record with arecord i getting this error many times):

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

Check the output of 

arecord -l

to reach the correct card index of the mic. If direct hw access via a -Dhw:$index doesn't work it's potentially lower level and kernel related and you might want to e.g. test the LTS kernel or so.

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

I fixed the issue simply by switching to PulseAudio and installing pipewire-media-session with:

sudo pacman -Syu pipewire-media-session

The problem originally happened because I connected a bunch of adapters and plugged the microphone into those USB ports, which overloaded the USB ports on the motherboard, causing it not to work.

After I plugged the microphone directly into a USB 3.0 port and installed the above package, everything started working perfectly.

Thank you very much! I’m excited to continue enjoying Linux.

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

Ah yeah that's often a cause for trouble as well, we should've probably looked at dmesg output as well. I'm assuming pipewire would work as well without the overloaded USB bus? In any case the main difference between pulseaudio and pipewire in terms of how they talk to the device initially will be sample rate difference of 48kHz vs 44.1kHz which you can configure with the configs I mentioned.

In any case, if you consider this [SOLVED] please mark it as such by editing the title in your first post (might have to shorten it a bit to make that fit)

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

I had the exact same issue, also with a usb bus.

Really seems like a software issue with the way its handled rather than an actual problem with the hardware?

My bus is to switch between my work and personal device so I will probably keep using it, switching to work pc and then switching back seems to resolve the issue temporarily (at least this time). If "turning it off and on again" works consistenly its probably good enough for my use case.

To anyone curious, the reason it seems like a software issue to me is because I have 2 devices connected to the bus, a usb mic and a usb dac with headphones attached. Each device works individually if I disable the other in pavu control, without doing anything with the usb bus. So it works when the usb bus is refreshed (for lack of a better word) and it also works for each individual device without a refresh.
