How to enable mic after reboot?


Hi I'm using Fedora 26 with XFCE and when I plugin my mic on the back of my computer, mic is working fine but after reboot Fedora don't see it. I have to unplug and plug in again to make it work. What should I do to make it working all the time? In alsamixer I have auto-mute disable but it don't change anything. Any suggestions?

use PulseAudio?
open pavucontrol and check input tab. It might be muted through that.

BW-userx - It was first thing which I tryd... When I'm going to pavucontrol - > input tab, I see nothing... When i open alsamixer back mic input is unmuted. This issue is when I turn on computer or reboot. If computer is turning on with mic pluged he don't see it but when I unplug and plug in again everything is ok.

Bytheway as I wrote I have auto-mute disable sa everything after turning on computer should be unmuted

You only mentioned alsamixer, not the other one. It just maybe the way the thing is set up. It does not recognize an input until an input is inputted into it. that sets off a trigger to enable it. but that is just an educated guess.

You might by right, I thought about it but I don't know where to start. I was trying to find all sound conf files and compare it before and after plug in mic but didn't find any differences.

I do not use a mike, just head phone jack. look into your hardware, and see if you can find a way to reset it, xset, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...roubleshooting

look for microphone in that page, as see if that helps -- you'll have to decipher it

I was on that site before but non of those information didn't helped me. I found other solution. My mic was pluged in using mini-jack to my sound card input. Today I had a chance to try mic with usb cable, after reboot this mic is still enable and ready to use, finaly! Perhaps it's not a solution what I was looking for because now i have to buy a new mic with usb cable but the most important is that it's working.
