Some details that may help

  • Ubuntu: 24.04.1 LTS
  • Kernel: 6.8.0-41-generic
  • AORUS Laptop
  • Fully updated as of writing this.

My current issue is that I plug in a razer headset and only the headphones are picked up. So my internal mic is all I can use. No amount of unplugs/restarts changes this behavior. Attached is a screenshot of what I see and no there is nothing else under the Input Device.

Yes the device works I have a usb sound card that I can plug in and get both the headphones and mic.

For troubleshooting I found (not sure pulseaudio makes any sense here) (these are different links btw)

I get my codec

Codec: Realtek ALC255

Based on that and kernel.org I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf at the end of the file:

# Trying to fix a headset to get my mic
options snd-hda-intel position fix=1
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=alc255-asus,laptop-amic,headset-mic

After a restart there is no change. I tried a few other variations of this but I am not fully understanding what I am attempting with this.

Had a ton of issues with my headset (a generic redragon) and this solved my problem: https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/installation/

It does exactly the same job os AudioPulse, but solved my problems with mic and headset.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yktooo/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sound-switcher

First, dumb question time. Have you tried the drop down arrow on the mic input setting and seeing if there is another mic?

Second, on the command line try dmesg | grep -i audio and see if the error log is showing any errors being thrown.

Third, on the command line enter arecord -l to check and see if the mic is listed as being recognized correctly.

Fourth, try adding options snd-hda-intel model=generic to the end of sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf instead of what you have entered.

Finally, on the command line enter alsamixer. See if anything happens to be muted.

Any one or all of these could be the answer. Let me know if none of this produces a result. `
