Microphone doesn't work

Post by telegiovi »

Good evening dear forum goers. Before asking for advice I searched through the previous posts and there are many concerning the microphone, but I cannot find the solution; I use a pc running Linux Mint VERSION="20.3 (One). I plugged in an external microphone via jack; the pc has two jacks, one for audio and one for microphone. It seems that the pc just doesn't see the microphone. Thanks for advice

Is it perhaps possible to change audio drivers? >If yes, how?

Update: Yup, mic wasn't even working. I had it plugged into a Powered USB extension box. I've since plugged it into a front USB Port.

I don't yet know if it will stop working after computer sleep, but we will see, I'll report back.

Yup, after suspending computer briefly, and reawakening , mic works. It is the mic in the webcam that doesn't wake up. Which leaves me to wonder why the webcam mic stops working. It's not an urgent issue, but naturally I'd like to fix it.

I also tried to connect the microphone via USB through an adapter (jack - USB). But it still doesn't work. As it wouldn't exist
