Mic stop working and decrease itself volume

Recently, I got a new headset (Havit Gamenote FUXI-H3), and I've been having several issues using it with PipeWire.
I managed to fix the audio output, but the microphone is still not working properly. The mic volume is extremely low, even when it's set to 150%. On top of that, PipeWire randomly lowers the microphone volume by itself, and if the volume drops below 100%, the microphone stops picking up any audio.

A web-search for linux and FUXI-H3 led directly to this -- related? https://github.com/hFerbic/havitsolutio … DME_ENG.md

Not really
I had this problem of just one side of the headset problem but I already fixed it. The problem now is just de microphone audio going down alone, muting itself and being low even in 150%
Btw I have a dual boot with win10 so I can say the mic works fine.

Re: Mic stop working and decrease itself volume

A recent thread (Mint linux) finds a 'constant input adjustment' issue was fixed with kernel 6.17.x, though maybe different hardware and we are past that.

WirePlumber is powerful and can lock input/output volume with a small config file, but learning and writing them is a bit of work.
