USB microphone, not working.

I installed webcord, instead of discord, (disables known telemetry, can still talk to friends without all the spyware :))
and my mic isnt working, webcord only sees one option which is called "default", artix is and was my first base install and my second linux distro ever, so I dont know how to configure that kindoff stuff and dont even know what kind off programs do.

I have pulsemixer but isnt that just for headphones? how do I (where even) get into the settings/configs for that, so that I can talk to people.
Thank you, worth mentioning would be that I use dwm and LARBS which comes with preinstalled stuff. Instead of a DE. https://larbs.xyz/

Is the USB microphone being pickup?
Code: [Select]
$ lsusb
If the device is not present then please post the complete dmesg output after the USB audio device is connected.
Code: [Select]
# dmesg

If the USB audio device is being picked up, maybe the input channel for the microphone is muted or at very low levels.
Check with either pavcontrol or alsamixer (select the USB device using F6) for the mute state and levels.

Hi,
if you need to switch off USB hardware:
Code: [Select]
lsusb
Note the ID (like: 04ca:7035)
Make a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/
Example: 81-intern-cam.rules
Code: [Select]
# Disable intern cam 04ca:7035
 SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04ca", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7035", ATTR{authorized}="0"

USB device is gone with the next boot.
