** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues #3674 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/3674 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2043208 Title: Headset microphone not properly recognized after 23.10 upgrade Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: [description] My wired headset (hyperx cloud 2) has a built in microphone that was working perfectly fine in 22.10 and 23.04 on my system. But after upgrading to 23.10 most of the time when plugging it into the headphone jack of my machine, audio output works perfectly fine however the microphone is often not recognized. Running "systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber" a few times often causes the microphone to be recognized by the system but applications such as firefox wouldn't recognize it. Restarting the machine usually would make applications able to detect and use the microphone. [possible solution] I have found a few reports of people having similar issues as me after upgrading to 23.10 and I was even able to find on the french ubuntu forums a possible fix where manually installing kernel 6.6rc5 or above has fixed the issue: https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=2081994 I couldn't verify this solution for myself since I an still running the default 6.5 kernel that came with Mantic but I did find another user on askubuntu who upgraded to the 6.6rc5 kernel and had his microphone issues resolved: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1490935/built-in-microphone-not-detected-after-installing-ubuntu-23-10 This thread also referenced the "forum.ubuntu-fr.org" forum. My specific issue might be pipewire related and not kernel related but based on the number of reports I've seen that 6.6rc5 fixes the issue (6.6rc1 did not based on the reports) the issue is also kernel related to some extent. [system] Dell XPS 17 9720, intel core i9 12900HK, RTX 3060 6GB + intel iris Xe Kubuntu 23.10 using wayland with plasma 5.27.8 nvidia driver: 545.29.02 (proprietary). I also had the same issue on 535 driver Headset: Hyperx cloud II with the default microphone that came with the headset (microphone is detachable) uname -r: 6.5.0-10-generic Headset and microphone work perfectly fine on other systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2043208/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
