i recently bought the laptop Lenovo - IdeaPad 330 /w Windows 10 installed



I decided i wanted to start using linux so i set up a dual boot system installed the latest version of Mint following a guide. Everything seems to be working perfectly excpet for my microphone. This is the first time i own a linux so i dont really know much and tried to fix it by googling the issue. I installed pavucontrol and played /w the setting but the mic still wont work. It does appear to be detected and a tiny little line is flickering as if it is detecting sound but very little. When i enter a discord call all that people hear is static or themselves.



I thought it might be something wrong with the hardware so i booted up windows and tried it there, but it worked normaly and the sound was clear.



Im very inexperienced /w linux mint so i was hoping one of you knows the solution.



Thank you in advance!
