I can use my microphone in Discord and other applications, but I can not use it in browsers (Firefox, Chromium, Firefox Dev). When I try to use Google meet, the browser asks permission only to Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo , but can’t select Built-in Audio Analog Stereo .

If the browser shows only Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo the audio card is probably configured to use outputs only
Check the card profile in PulseAudio for the Analog audio device
pacmd dump | awk '/card-profile/ && /analog/'
If the profile is set to output only it will look like this:
set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_04_06.0 output:analog-stereo
Your system will probably have a different number to identify the pci location for the onboard audio device
Copy your terminal response to create a command to change the card profile like this:
pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_04_06.0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
Browsers should now show microphone input Built-in Audio Analog Stereo in addition to desktop audio Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
The first command showed me exactly this:
pacmd dump | awk '/card-profile/ && /analog/'
set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
It didn’t solve the problem. When I try to use Google Meet, seems that the browser only recognizes Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo , but it doesn’t recognize my microphone. Thanks.
After starting Google Meet and allow microphone access, open pavucontrol and go to Recordings. There you can switch it. It should be saved then for the next time.
Thanks, but this didn’t work as well.
Is this issue only occurring in Google Meet?
Check PulseAudio source inputs to see if microphone source is available and not suspended
pacmd list-sources
and check information about source stream to Google Meet
pacmd list-source-outputs
Sorry, that is really unhelpful. At least say what didn’t work and what you see.
That lists the sources and sinks:
pactl list sources short
pactl list sinks short
I just tested it here: https://mictests.com/
It’s occurring on all websites (and browsers), but my microphone works in Discord, for example.
Here it is:
pacmd list-sources
2 source(s) available.

It’s my fault, I’m a Manjaro newbie.
I did what you ask, but when I choose Built-in Audio Analog Stereo , it changes automatically back to Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo option.

Only thing what I think have happened: You actually didn’t choose it. Wrong click etc… I cannot reproduce it.
Both sources are shown as IDLE so there would be no source outputs available
All 3 input ports for onboard audio are not available
ports:
analog-input-front-mic: Front Microphone (priority 8500, latency offset -20000 usec, available: no)
analog-input-rear-mic: Rear Microphone (priority 8200, latency offset 0 usec, available: no)
analog-input-linein: Line In (priority 8100, latency offset 0 usec, available: no)
PulseAudio will avoid using unavailable inputs and switch back to using the sink monitor
Please post more information about ALSA audio settings for device ALC887-VD

You just need to modify the default.pa document.
