Newly setup PC with Manjaro KDE and something is wrong with my mic.
They cannot hear me, unless I add mic to monitoring devices on my sound card, but then I can hear it through my headphones.
Same PC, same card, same mic, same Kernel and was working before the format.
I re-downloaded latest ISO, re-formated for 2nd time, and the problem persists.
I moved my sound card (external SoundBlaster X5) to another Manjaro PC, and works fine.
I am really frustrated here and it is very annoying, cause except from my own voice in the headphones, I can hear every sound in the houseâŚ
I tried both âAnalog Stereo Duplexâ and âDigital Stereo Duplexâ, same.
From my card, when I mute the Mic under monitoring section, it completely mutes mic.
Tried reset, repair firmware, but nothing worked, however, it works fine on another setup with same Kernel.
