Pulsemixer / Mic issues

Hi everyone, i've been using Artix for alittle and have been able to pretty much get around but one small issue is my mic not being recognized. When i open Pulsemixer i have no idea what im doing there..  ::)
From what i could gather is that i need to set my preferred default output sink but i'm not familiar with pulsemixer and how to do that.
Anyone have an idea what i'm doign wrong?

Bonjour,
I removed the pulseaudio packages except one: libpulse.

I installed qastools which offers a nice and very practical mixer :
sudo pacman -Sy qastools

Then I listed my audio cards:
cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
                      HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfce60000 irq 96
 1 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfc900000 irq 98

I created/modified  /etc/asound.conf

And added this to select card1:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1

I tried it but that didn't solve it for me.  No idea but i'll keep poking around . Thanks though.

First thing to do: check if the microphone is working  :)

It may also depend on your hardware (since I did not find any mention of it).
Especially on laptops with internal mic and the 4-pin jack connector you might need to properly configure the sound-card driver to recognize it.
