Public bug reported:
Scenario:
=========
1. A mainboard (Asus Prime 570-Pro) with onboard audio:
c:00.4 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Starship/Matisse
HD Audio Controller [1022:1487]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller
[1043:8733]
2. The device is configured as Analog Stereo Duplex in pavucontrol
3. A microphone is plugged into the pink input jack
4. The VU-meter in the pavucontrol "Input devices" tab displays plausible
levels for the mic
5. The mic works in most applications (mumble, teams)
Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Start audacity
Expected behaviour:
===================
The microphone should continue to work, and Audacity should be able to
use it
Observed behaviour:
===================
As soon as audacity starts, the VU-meter in pavucontrol is updated only
about once a second, and the displayed levels have no discernible
relation to the levels of moinse I make as displayed e.g. for the USB
Mic in my webcam. If I start to record using the microphone in Audacity,
audacity records with a speed of maybe 0.25 recorded seconds per second
of wall clock time, recording only weird sounds, if anything at all. The
microphone stays unusable for all applications until I restart the
computer.
