[EDIFIER X3 R, recording] Microphone is not detected as an audio input

[Amanda Arenales]

Device doesn't appear in the input options inside gnome sound controls. It appears in pavucontrol, but there is no port associated to it, and no sound is captured.

According to the PulseList.txt in the #1, the default input device should be "Digital Microphone - sof-hda-dsp":
Default source name: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__hw_sofhdadsp_6__source

I have no idea why "Device doesn't appear in the input options inside gnome sound controls", could you upload a picture to show it?

[Amanda Arenales (awarenales)]

I added the screenshot of the window where the input devices appear. There is only one available to select, which is the built-in mic. The headset is not there.

[Hui Wang (hui.wang)]

the built-in mic is in the input devices list, this is expected, and you expect the headset is in the list too, did you plug the headset into the audio jack?

[Amanda Arenales (awarenales)]

it's a bluetooth device, and it's connected. The audio works as expected,
it's listed there as an output device and it works, but the microphone
isn't listed and doesn't work.

If so, please select hsp/hfp from configuration, the A2DP only has output.

[Amanda Arenales (awarenales)]

I tried it, but it didn't work. It goes back to A2DP by itself

If so, usually it is the issue on bluetooth host controller side. Either the kernel's driver issue or the bluetooth firmware's issue.

Please upload the log of '$usb-devices'.
