Hi Leto, and welcome to the forum.

Let's get a look at your sound setup with this command:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999
The last line of output will have a URL pointing to the info. Pasting that URL is all I need.

That microphone comes with 2 profiles. It's presently set to Многоканальный вход. Try changing it to Моно вход on the Configuration tab of pavucontrol or you can use this line in the terminal to do it:

Code: Select all

pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.usb-Jieli_Technology_USB_PHY_2.0-02 input:mono-fallback
See if that gets it working.

You might want to try a newer kernel to see if that resolves the issue. Update Manager > View > Linux kernels

I'll say that if the manufacturer didn't follow the USB 2.0 spec properly, which sometimes happens, we could be fighting an uphill battle. And that reminds me, have you tried other USB ports?

Switching USB2.0 to USB3.0 didn't help.
But changing to Logiteck c310 webcome solved the problem. New webcome works out of the box.

So the conclusion is the problem was not on the linux side (you were right). RitMix webcome manufacturer does not support linux...
