yes please post your garuda-inxi you open the terminal and type this in and copy the output her with the </> sign.

maybe you try pipewire instead of pulseaudio.I found this guide .i have pipewire installed and all my mics or 3.5 sockets found and working.

  1. Remove PulseAudio : First, remove PulseAudio and its related packages.
sudo pacman -Rs pulseaudio pulseaudio-bluetooth
  1. Install PipeWire : Next, install PipeWire and its related packages.
sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa wireplumber
  1. Configure PipeWire : To ensure PipeWire works as a PulseAudio replacement, you may need to configure it. This can be done by ensuring the PipeWire PulseAudio compatibility module is enabled. After installation, you can verify this by running:
pactl info

This should indicate that the server name is “PulseAudio (on PipeWire)”.
4. Mask PulseAudio Services : To prevent PulseAudio from starting automatically, mask its services.

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket
  1. Enable and Start PipeWire Services : Enable and start the PipeWire services to ensure they run on boot.
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire
systemctl --user enable --now wireplumber
  1. Reboot : Finally, reboot your system to ensure all changes take effect.
reboot
