According to several posts on this list, pipewire doesn't seem to work properly. Unfortunately there was no changelog warning when upgrading and pipewire's developers do not seem to care much about documentation.

Well, there's no "Internal Mic" and "Mic" to choose from, so maybe that's the problem. @Pankaj, do you have a microphone connected to the audio (combo) jack and/or maybe the internal microphone is disabled in EFI and/or from hotkeys? > You might try to install kernel 5.13 from > experimental or newest vanilla stable which is currently 5.14.1 (take > care not to make your system unbootable).

Sound input source detected but not capturing
I have a fresh Bullseye installation on a laptop. Sound output is working. But the input is not working. The device is detected. --8<---cut here---start->8--- $ arecord -l List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC236 Analog [ALC236 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 --8<---cut here---end--->8--- In the gnome settings, input is showing built-in microphone but there is not movement in the capturing indicator. alsamixer is also showing the sound card (F6) - HDA Intel PCH.
