I’ve deleted ~/.config/pulse, restarted pulseaudio, tried different USB ports (front, back, monitor), different USB cables, so far I’m stumped. This is a very popular mic and multiple people on YouTube said it “just worked” when they plugged it in (one of the guys was using Manjaro.) So I’m not sure what the problem is.

It appears to be recognized as “hid-generic” which I assume is a “generic human interface device” whatever that means :smiley:

I’m running kernel 5.13.19-2

Too new, too old?

I’m going to try a full shutdown/reboot. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

OK duh, the full shutdown/reboot worked like a charm.

Glad it works now, but yes, kernel 5.13 is EOL and will soon be removed from Manjaro repos.

Install 5.14 and/or a LTS such as 5.10.
