Speakers were muted, but the sound is very low regardless. They just happened to be turned off at that moment.
Headphones are enabled, because the system thinks my dedicated mic is a headphone. There were no headphones plugged in at the time of running the commands above.

I am on KDE Plasma 6 by the way, forgot to mention that. The speaker issue seems to have been resolved, meaning I don’t get glitchy, distorted audio anymore and the maximum volume issue seems to have been solved. Still, I can’t get the speakers to work with the microphone plugged in. I hope my text formatting is not too awful.
