Hello!
I run the LXQt version of Garuda.
None of my microphones on my system are typically found or listed in Pulsaudio (pavucontrol-qt) unless I’ve done a system upgrade (I use octopi for this) in the same running session, after which all microphones are typically found by the system and work as intended. When I reboot, any connected microphones can no longer be found again.
Every time I do a system upgrade, my keyboard settings (under lxqt input settings, “Keyboard and Mouse Settings”) are also resetted. I want to use 2 keyboard layouts and switch between them by holding caps lock. After every system upgrade, the keyboard settings are reset to only one keyboard layout (my main one) and the secondary keyboard layout together with the setting to hold caps lock to activate it, is viped out. After which I have to manually set it again.
I want my microphones to be found by my system without having to force a system upgrad and I do not want to manually change my keyboard settings after each system upgrade.
As they both happen with system upgrades I suspect they couldb e caused by a single issue. Please excuse my ignorance if these two issues are unrelated and thus should have been issued as two separate issues.
