its a generic jack microphone (ill add specs here and on mint page)
i have tried connecting multiple mic with the same problem
i also tried connecting it to the back of the pc with similar results
and the other os thing is kinda hard to do due to limited space on drives

mic specs as written on box
freq range 35-18 hz
sensitivity -30db +/- 3db 0db=1v/pa, 1kz
connector 3.5 trrs connection
also wanna add its most like an os problem as b4 mint i used to run windows with microphones fine

so i tried searching and found this one
and weirdly enough my pc has the daemon.conf file and my laptop doesnt
in the (laptop)pulse/ has only client.conf and client.conf.d folder
also i have no clue what is the freq rate for this
the specs only have freq range
changed sample rate and tried to kill pulseaudio as outlined but it isnt running
so i changed the main rate to 48000 and alt is 44100

oh it was running at 44k changed it(like 2 seconds ago) to 48 with no solution
i changed it back with no fix still
also i tried to make both to be 44100 but that gave me in the sound settings a flashing no mic is available error

renaming or cutting the file to a diff folder even with root permission doesnt do anything since i dont even have pulse running
if it was running diff story
