I have a real annoying problem when using Manjaro.
Microphone of my wired headset and handsfree in some boots work and sometimes don’t work randomly.
I’m using pipewire as my sound server.
When I plug in microphone, Headphone is detected but system is using Internal Microphone and In settings I see that Microphone (of headset) is shown as unplugged.
Here is information of my system while I’m plugged in my headset:
