I have a Blue Yeti Nano usb microphone that worked fine on windows 10/11. Since I switched to Garuda (almost 2 years ago), it requires me to unplug and plug it back in repeatedly until it finally connects and works.
I’ve tried messing with the pipewire config file to change the rate between 48000 and 44100, which didn’t make any difference. I tried changing all manner of bios settings, nothing made a difference. And of course reading anything I can find on the interwebs & asking the oracles (AI chat bots) for help - no luck.
Here’s the dmesg output:
