Headphone works properly but microphone is not working on my ubuntu 18.04. The input level bar doesn't change which indicates the microphone doesn't detect any sound.

Pulseeffect is installed on my laptop and i am not sure if the problem started after installing it. so uninstalled and restarted my pc but still sound input not working. Some help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

i was having the same problem on ubuntu 18.04 LTS, running this command will get your mic working, but the volume might be a little low

pacmd load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,6

to increase the volumen, you may need to run alsamixer in the terminal and jack up everything with PGA in the name, but I believe the mic will work after that. Ubuntu has stumbled a bit on the support for this new audio driver
