Public bug reported:

If you have a jack microphone connected to your ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO
motherboard and you go into Settings > Sound > Input, you'll see two
entries:

  * Digital Input S/PDIF USB Audio
  * Microphone - USB Audio

if you detach your microphone jack the second one disappears. So, the
second one is responsible for your jack mic.

Unfortunately, if you choose this "Microphone - USB Audio" no sound will
be shown by the indicator gauge, even if you pull the mic volume to the
maximum.

The default sound system in Ubuntu 23.04 is PipeWire. I see ALSA-related
packages installed by default, but no pulseaudio and pulseaudio-utils
packages.

It would be nice to get microphone working without creating a mess of
different sound systems. I'd stay with ALSA+PipeWire without PulseAudio
and without JACK.

I see that arecord can use ALSA to record sound from microphone, but
what about Skype and your other apps that rely on usage of "Microphone -
USB Audio" exposed via PipeWire? They don't work.

Any idea how to fix the mic issue without creating a mess?

thanks.
