I use my laptop for university and record lectures (I'm dyslexic). Until recently I believed my laptop was recording through the external microphone I got for it. However, it always lists as microphone unplugged and defaults to the inbuilt microphone. This morning I tried to fix it using HDA-jack-retask. However, it seems I have completely disabled all audio, I have tried restarting.

I run manjaro linux KDE edition (latest version)
I had to install Pulse audio because it didn't come preinstalled
I have tried resetting to defaults via the built-in audio
Checked if recording via pavucontrol and audio by attempting to play spotify and youtube (both of those jump around alot for no reason but no audio)
