Hello Manjaro Community!
I own a HyperX 7.1 Kingston USB Headphone. Now when I plug it in, Pulse shows (Internal Audio, echo cancelled with HyperX7.1 Audio Analog Stereo). As a microphone input device.
Problem is, that it actually is not the headphone, but it is the internal microphone of my notebook.
How do I make the system recognize the USB Microphone properly?
