Has it ever worked?

Is it wired or Bluetooth?

Is it connected correctly?

Have you selected that microphone as the primary input?

Have you selected that microphone as input for the application you are using?

The forum is not here to provide a personal service. If you have a problem that is urgent then you should be looking for another solution (for example, use the already-working internal microphone!).

@jonathon all ans to your question

yes

and i cant use my internal mic cuz it is very bad
i turned it on and 30 students left the meeting lol

If it has never worked, why is this a Garuda issue? Buy a new headset.

@jonathon

plz help anyone

Install and run pavucontrol and see what’s happening with the microphones.

Stop that. This is not a personal support forum, it’s not a chat service, and begging for help won’t make more people appear and read your post.

If you have an urgent issue with something you need for classes then contact the technical support routes for the organisation running the classes.

how do i install pavucontrol
edit:ok i got it installing

nothing changed still unable to her voice from my headset mic

Read laptop’s user manual.
Is the laptop port a unified one, like smartphones’?

These cases have known issues in Linux. Archwiki has some troubleshooting tips for this.

This is not clear enough.
Anyway, it needs careful reading, testing and experimenting.
You may start from here and more.

My BIOS has an option that checks for new/changed/gone hardware. When I had it set to either “Minimal” or “Auto,” Windows decided to change things one fine day, seeing no BT adaptor after a software update. That change carried over into Linux (Arch and Garuda).

When I changed the BIOS setting to “Thorough” Linux (and Windows) re-acquired the adaptor.

It may (or may not) be something similar.

and i understood noting plz use simple terms i am noob

my laptop acer swift 3 sf314-55g-52at
drivers -alsa support,pipewire,jack ,user in realtime group(they are checked in assistant)
and i have no pipewire folder idk why

I am sorry, but I do not give basic computing classes. May I suggest you read "PCs for Dummies" or another, similar, primer?

Unless you're responding to @petsam. He might.

After reading the material @petsam furnished and, considering the Warning issued above that section in the Arch Wiki, you might want to consider replacing pipewire with tried and true pulseaudio. Pipewire is reputedly still under heavy development, and the terminology used in the Wiki is a bit beyond the scope of what a beginner would be able to follow without developing a massive headache in no time at all.

I'm fairly sure I have seen a post regarding that replacement--it's not a straight remove-and-install that Pamac or Octopi handles gracefully--so search the forum. If you try hard but still fail at that, I'll be doing a Barebones KDE installation on another machine tomorrow morning and will note the procedure steps from a console.

Simply installing pavucontrol would indeed change nothing - you have to run it and check the settings. Do you see the meters move? Is the microphone unmuted? Is its volume at a sufficient level?

It sounds like you should be doing some reading and exploring your system. Imagine a world without web forums and chat channels where you can immediately ask every question that pops into your head - what would you do?

Okay, if you would like to replace pipewire-support with pulseaudio-support, here’s a forum searched link. Note that you cannot totally remove pipewire since it is a required dependency of kwin/KDE Plasma. After installing pulseaudio-support, I would also install the pulsesaudio metapackage.

You should then goto the Garuda Assistant and make sure the Pulseaudio Support box is checked under System Components, along with all the Bluetooth items as well.

And, to make things a bit easier to sort out, please follow @jonathon’s suggestions.

P.S. Don’t forget to reboot afterwards. :wink:
