Hi! I've been using Zorin OS for the past 1 month and it's been really smooth and fast. My problem for it is that my microphone can't work whenever I plug it in (3.5mm jack) and it works for windows. (It always detects it as a headset but the microphone still can't work)
Another problem is I've been getting into cubing lately, but whenever I plug my cube timer in my 3.5 microphone jack, it always detects it as a headset and not Mic In. Last time when I was using Windows, I can select it as Mic In, Headset, Headphone & etc in Realtek Audio Control. Is there anyway that I can do it in Zorin OS?
I have installed pavucontrol, and the microphone is showing(even when I unplug the headset). The problem is, even when i plug in another 3.5 jack device it still appears as the same output and input device(the microphone couldn't work). The headset I'm using though is a normal Samsung wired earphone, and pavucontrol appears it as Headphones Stereo Microphone.
By the way, when I press alt+F2 and enter pavucontrol, it says "command not found". I have go to the search bar and type in pavucontrol and then click in PulseAudio Volume Control.
I actually really hope that I could use Realtek Audio Control in Zorin OS though.
Odd. I just tested this and had no trouble with just pavucontrol in alt-F2 launcher.
What is the terminal output of
pavucontrol --version
It sounds like you may be suggesting that switching between input/output devices may be where the trouble is. Before proceeding, can you confirm if I understand this correctly?
Q1: After I typed in pavucontrol --version, it shows up Pavucontrol 4.0, is this the right version?
Q2: Yes, I need to switch between Mic In, Headphone, Headset & etc. My cube timer uses just a microphone, if I plug it in as a headset, it doesn't work.
