first im not good at linux i chose mint cuz i just want it to work
on my main machine the mic produces just random noise
while on my secondary one the mic works no problem
basically every detail on my device is available on the linux mint forum
altho i posted this due to it being almost 3 months and a thousand views without comments so i decided to comment it here

after recent testing it seems like it is a hardware issue and not a os, bios, dependency, ect issue

where the mic doesnt pick up anything and produces usb noise

(the mic isnt the problem as it works on my phone and my secondary machine)

okay so i think it may be hardware related cuz it doesnt pickup my voice at all like it produces the usb noise when plugged in (when recording or when it is in the sound menu) i disabled enabled and changed everything in alsa with no diff i mean when lowering the mic audio the noise gets lowered i dont think i installed anything but if i did it prolly was a dependency for something like reaper or some other app im going to live boot fedora rn using ventoy will update after testing is there any other oses i should test too?
