Pulseaudio Mic input picks up desktop audio

alright, I’ll try to search more on this and update back if I ever find anything useful.

Thank you so much for your help!

Were you able to solve it? I’ve been dealing with the same issue for quite a while now.

Unfortunately not software wise. I bought a USB audio card and it doesn’t have this issue. If buying hardware isn’t an option then I suppose your best bet is installing Pipewire which might solve the problem.
