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. Other details: ---- % lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
