Inconsistent mic on USB webcam/min combo

Hi all,

I just installed Arch, and there's inconsistent mic behavior. I have a Logitec c270 that is fully functional in OBS with mic and cam, but only the cam works in zoom. Does anyone know what could be going on?

I have pipewire-pulse installed and enabled. I don't know if this will help, but my mobo combo came with a realtek chipset wifi/bluetooth combo. The wifi works fine, but the bluetooth is isn't picking up my bt devices. I've decided to just get a usb bt dongle as I've spent far too much time on the issue already, but maybe it's potentially important info for the mic.

Below is the output when I run lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0489:e112 Foxconn / Hon Hai Bluetooth Radio

Below is the output when I run lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i net:
