Hi everyone. Currently migrating from Windows to Linux and it has been a bumpy road. Still trying to get audio to work smoothly.
I own a USB external sound card where I connect my headphones + microphone. The sound card is Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 and the system recognizes it without a problem.
When I boot the computer the sound works great but the microphone does not work. To get it to work I go to System Settings - Audio, change the port to “Line In”, change it back to “Microphone” and now it works. It’s good to have a workaround but it would be great if the microphone would just work on boot.
Not sure what information I can provide to help you help me, but i figure inxi -A is a good start:
