it looks like its a pulse/pipewire issue… install this package: manjaro-pulse, it will remove pipewire, then reboot and check mic

I reinstalled it & rebooted the laptop, but it’s still the same.

so try yo install pipewire with this command:

sudo pacman -Ru --nodeps pulseaudio pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-pa pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-ctl manjaro-pulse && sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

then reboot and check
