Hello and greetings to the community from Greece

I have a problem regarding my internal sound card. Suddenly, my microphone stopped working and is not recognized. I don't have a special mic, just my phone's wired hands-free which I always talked with them (I still use them with my phone and work great).

I installed pavucontrol but still no luck since the Input Devices tab is empty. I tried alsamixer, I select the device which controls the sound, I see the mic bar and it's not muted.

Code: Select all
