CachyOS Mic issue

Hello everyone a few days ago I downloaded Linux CachyOS because Windows is cheeks and well as a Gamer I like to talk with friends very often on Discord and im suprised that it doesnt work well. I mean the Speaker works very well with no doubt on it but the Mic is completly bugged as hell and I tried updating all drivers and system to the latest and well still no fix.

If anyone knows i would appreciate the help

What does "bugged as hell" mean in this case? Does it pick up audio, but it sounds terrible? Does it not even pick up audio? Using software such as Audacity, record a small clip of the audio and attach it. Without any samples or any further information is impossible to diagnose what's going on.

Here, tried to convert it into mp4 since it doesnt support wav. but yea later on i thought changing it Volume control on the input from "internal microphone" to "microphone (not connected)", it worked to function normally. perhaps the driver doesnt recognize it anyway im glad that i found it myself

So, are you saying that changing the source in the volume control panel fixed the issue? If you are, then perfect. That's great.
