[description]

My wired headset (hyperx cloud 2) has a built in microphone that was
working perfectly fine in 22.10 and 23.04 on my system. But after
upgrading to 23.10 most of the time when plugging it into the headphone
jack of my machine, audio output works perfectly fine however the
microphone is often not recognized. Running "systemctl --user restart
pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber" a few times often causes the
microphone to be recognized by the system but applications such as
firefox wouldn't recognize it. Restarting the machine usually would make
applications able to detect and use the microphone.

[possible solution]

I have found a few reports of people having similar issues as me after 
upgrading to 23.10 and I was even able to find on the french ubuntu forums a 
possible fix where manually installing kernel 6.6rc5 or above has fixed the 
issue: https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=2081994
I couldn't verify this solution for myself since I an still running the default 
6.5 kernel that came with Mantic but I did find another user on askubuntu who 
upgraded to the 6.6rc5 kernel and had his microphone issues resolved: 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1490935/built-in-microphone-not-detected-after-installing-ubuntu-23-10
This thread also referenced the "forum.ubuntu-fr.org" forum.
My specific issue might be pipewire related and not kernel related but based on 
the number of reports I've seen that 6.6rc5 fixes the issue (6.6rc1 did not 
based on the reports) the issue is also kernel related to some extent.
