[RESOLVED] Kubuntu 24.04 no sound input from headset

[linufix]

Hello,
my name is Erich
I am using this System:
Software
KDE-Plasma-Version: 5.27.12
KDE Frameworks-Version: 5.115.0
Qt-Version: 5.15.13
Kernel-Version: 6.8.0-53-generic (64-bit)
Grafik-Plattform: X11
Hardware
Prozessoren: 12x AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Speicher: 31,3 GiB Arbeitsspeicher
Grafikprozessor: AMD CAICOS
Hersteller: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd
Produktname: MS-7B86
Systemversion: 4.0

My problem is, I can't get any sound input from the microphone of my headset.
Here are some outputs from wpctl:

et@ets:~/.local/state$ wpctl status

And here is the Output of the ID 42. Which I suspect to be the microphone:

et@ets:~/.local/state$ wpctl inspect 42

An interesting fact is, it works flawless in Linux Mint 22.1
What I already tried was deleting the .local/state/wireplumber directory and restartet the system.
But this had no effect to the problem.
Hope you can help...
Thanks in advance.

What make/model is your headset?

[linufix]

It is a Sennheiser_SC60_for_Lync.

But well I could fix the problem.
I used pavucontrol in the configuration tab and set the profile for the webcam to Analog Stereo Input.
Which seems logical afterwards...
And I guess with my Lync headset it was also the problem with the wrong profile.
Sorry for the unnecessary post...

Not to worry. Glad you sorted this out.
