Audio Output works fine, Audio Input does not

I’ve been searching around for a while and I cannot find any solutions to my issue.
I installed Fedora 36 a few days ago, and at the time I messed with pulseaudio/pipewire because nothing was working. I uninstalled both, and then installed pulseaudio. It seemed to be working, so I didn’t look into it further.

I have tried using three different audio input devices, none of which have worked. First one was a Blue Yeti Nano, second was an AUX headset microphone, and third was a USB webcam.

pavucontrol shows this no matter what. It just echoes whatever is playing in the output.

I just don’t know what to do. Do I need to use pipewire?? Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @owocean Do you use NVIdia? Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
Please tell us more about your hardware and configuration.

My nvidia drivers are already installed, though I don’t know how that would help my audio
NVIDIA GTX 1050 TI, Intel i5-8400, 24gb ram, MSI B360M

am i missing drivers for something? do i need to use something besides pulseaudio? is there a pulseaudio config i need to edit?

and if by some miracle, i tried plugging it in again just now and it shows up on my devices list. i didnt mess with any of the drivers.

problem solved ig
