Hello you all.
I am a not-so-good-with-tech person who has recently (2 days ago) started using Kubuntu 25.04 coming from windows 11. I have been able to set up everything I need for work and troubleshoot some issues by following tutorials from the community.
One thing I've been unable to fix though is my Fifine AM8 microphone - When I use it only static and strange noises come from it. So far I have:
Any tips on how I can troubleshoot and fix this? I really need this microphone for work

I am a not-so-good-with-tech person who has recently (2 days ago) started using Kubuntu 25.04 coming from windows 11. I have been able to set up everything I need for work and troubleshoot some issues by following tutorials from the community.
One thing I've been unable to fix though is my Fifine AM8 microphone - When I use it only static and strange noises come from it. So far I have:
- tested it on apps (obs studio, google meet) and the raw input via terminal (arecord then aplay) on both 44100hz and 48000hz. All results are the same.
- tested it on another device, and it works fine on windows.
- tested another USB microphone (Webcam's) on my Kubuntu computer, it works fine.
- checked that my system is running PulseAudio on PipeWire 1.2.7
- tested my Fifine on all profiles available under system settings.
Any tips on how I can troubleshoot and fix this? I really need this microphone for work
