Hello all,
I have discovered right before a zoom meeting that the microphone on my HyperX headphones is not working for some reason.
I have found the thread below but although it is marked as solved, it stops short with no actual solution (or at least I don’t know what to make of the solution).
Can someone help me out with this?
Here is the output from pacmd list-sources
