go to alsamixer in terminal, and turn off auto-gain
press F6 til u get ur real sound card
watch everything in top left too
urban pulsar
didnt choose soundcard
or it doesnt have it.
turn autogain off in Discord if u use that

why are you using PA instead of the default pipewire?
it's better in every single way and default on all distros
lapis oyster
cuz pipewire dosent wanna work for vrhct

guess im just special
urban pulsar
are you strictly using a usb audio interface for this, as what's mentioned as Razer in the pics above?
lapis oyster
yeah
urban pulsar
maybe some switch on that thing to not mess the gain up, but I suspect it's more a Windows software-thing. which wont behave on Linux
lapis oyster
the only os i have is mint generic
urban pulsar
im saying the usb thing maybe was built with Windows in mind, needing exclusive drivers, made only for that OS
lapis oyster
so what do u suggest
urban pulsar
use internal soundcard
