I am not able t get any input from the microphone(s) on my system.
Neither the internal microphone nor the microphone on the plugged in earphones with microphone produce any sound.
I have tested with Arecord, Audacity and Krecorder - no sound.
When I plug in the earphones the correct profile pops up.
This is what is shown on pavucontrol, the headphones microphone is detected.
The (lenghty) output of the alsa-info.sh scripts is (run as user):

I do see entries with Dmic (digital microphone?) , but nothing for the analogue microphone in the earphones.
I have looked at the following link, but I could not apply the suggestions to my situation.
https://forums.opensuse.org/t/xfce-no-microphone-input/142569/2
So, any suggestions would be welcomed.
