USB Microphone for Zorin 16 Lite

Lenyberry · 7 January 2022 21:48

I have a laptop Lenovo Ideapad 300S-11IBR
Since I have already know the Microphone with Headset issues, I will try to find some cheap USB Microphone for this problem, and ask the experties here for recommended low-budget Microphone...
I have tried many tips: alsamixer, pavucontrol, and all settings in Zorin and Ubuntu Forums but It didn't work because my 3mm jack Microphone on the earphone is not detected by the kernel.

- Under `[Element Int Mic Boost]` set volume to `zero`.
- Under `[Element Mic Boost]` set `volume` to `zero`

Find your source name from the following command; mine is `alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo`

      $ pacmd list-sources | grep 'name:.*input'
      
Edit `/etc/pulse/default.pa` and add the following lines, where `INPUT_NAME` is name of the input source from above step:
