Unhappy External microphone does not work on linux debian 9


I am not able to use an external microphone in debian 9, I have installed the main package alsa and all its derivatives, my audio driver is Realtek ALC269, I installed the pulseaudio program, but it didn't work out, I did some research and said it could be the configuration of alsa base, however in debian 9, the package was removed, so I don't know what to do, I will leave some pictures, about my audio settings, whoever can help solve this problem will be very grateful, att.

The [MM] under mic means it's muted. As it should be under "playback". Many audio applications let you "select" the audio source. Like Audacity. You basically have more than one audio source, since motherboard, webcam, video card, audio interface, ... ... ... are all audio devices. Edit -> preferences in most cases to select what applies to you. Otherwise pavucontrol (pulseaudio) lets you select the system "defaults" with it's setup. Albeit quirky at times. Sometimes you have to disable / enable (again) to get things working. Also make sure your user is in the audio group (permissions to use the audio device) and that the device has and uses a driver.

$ cat /proc/asound/cards

Shows up there and it has a driver and it's in use.

$ groups

To see what groups your user is in.

$ pavucontrol

I messed with the settings of hdajackretask, currently not even the headset is being recognized anymore, see my current settings in the photo, when I run pavucontrol, it is in an infinite loop on the screen to start pavucontrol, so I can't even configure, the audacity, I run it, but it also won't

If you have not done so, install pavucontrol, the Pulse Audio Mixer; it's in the repos.

It gives you much more granular controls over settings and input/output devices.

I have pavucontrol installed, but at the moment it only stays in an infinite loop when I run it, I already removed the pulseaudio and pavucontrol, and installed it again, but the problem continues
