Microphone

[Galaxy2504738]

So i have a headset, and when i try and sue its mic nothing shows up, when i use my steamdecks built in mic everything works. I havent been able to reacord for 2 months because of this and i installed it from flatpak, this is very annoying cause the steamdeck built in mic sucks, here is my log. https://obsproject.com/logs/WPf3YDtFNECQwUF6 (note i was originally able to record until about 3 months ago it would only work if my headset was fully charged and now it just dont work no matter what) (i also attached the video and you can see my intro character moves because it picks up my mic but not obs) (and this is my analyze before i used the auto wizard thing https://obsproject.com/logs/p6FhCM8uKueuZpdF)

i installed it from flatpak

Containers like flatpak, snap, and whatever else you might use, are designed to put walls around things for security. That's on purpose. It also makes it hard to use things that need full access to a bunch of system resources, like camera, mic, etc. It can be done, but it makes you jump through a bunch of hoops to fix enough permissions that it's not really sandboxed at all anymore. So you've really just given yourself a headache for the fun of it and nothing more.

Try installing native instead.
For Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, Raspberry Pi, etc.), install the PPA first (sudo apt-add-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio), and then sudo apt update and sudo apt install obs-studio
For everything else, see what options you have.

here is my log. https://obsproject.com/logs/WPf3YDtFNECQwUF6

Both logs are technically invalid, as shown in their respective analyzer links, except that both say you need a better computer. It might be made to work anyway, depending on what you're doing and how much you can pare things down, but that requires a fair amount of knowledge of what's going on under the hood.
