When I connect an external microphone my laptop detect it as an audio exit (like if it was a headphone) but I can’t hear anything even when changing the audio exit in Plasma Settings.

The Pinebook or the Pinebook Pro?
Is it a USB microphone or an Analog one?
It’s a Lenovo G50-70 with an analog jack 3.5mm mic
Alright. Moved to right forum category.
Thanks! and sorry for the inconvenience!
Is the microphone detected as an Input device and shown as plugged in ?
This laptop probably has one 3.5mm audio jack that supports either headphones or a microphone or both combined in a headset
The system can detect if a jack is plugged in but not what type of device is plugged in
The audio jack can be retasked to disable the headphone connection so the jack only works as a microphone input
you may need to install package alsa-tools
to get the tool hdajackretask
to disable the headphone output
use this command to show audio input and output connections
sudo hdajackretask
find the connection for the Headphone output and change to ‘not connected’
click Install boot override
and reboot system so the override is loaded
Thanks! I’ve installed it, but seems like I can’t execute the script. If I run the program as a sudo (as you said above) I get this message: Failed to create the file "/root/.config/pulse/client.conf.U3AWW0": doesn't exist the file or directory.
If I try to run the program as a normal user and then enter the password when pressing “Apply now” I get tee: /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/reconfig: Device or resource busy
.
BTW, does it change how it interact only with this external microphone or will my laptop also understand as an external mic the headphones if I plug them too? (they are also analog)
