I have two mics, one on my Brio web camera, and one on my motherboard. Every time I boot up, the Brio mic is selected, and I have to manually go in and tell the audio mixer that I want the onboard mic to be used. Sometimes I forget, join a WebEx or similar, and they are hearing me through my Brio, and that mic SUCKS compared to the one I have plugged in to the onboard sound card. I've set the onboard mic to be the default more times than I can remember, but when it reboots, the Brio mic is selected again. This is driving me nuts!
What on Earth do I need to do to make the onboard sound card mic be the main/only one used?
I am using Xfce, if that matters. When I fire up the mixer, it's using pavucontrol.
If it matters, I have upgraded this system from F33 through F36.
Thanks! Thomas

Anyone got any insight? Is there a way to tell Fedora 36 a permanent way to stop using my crappy Brio mic?

Why don't you just disable microphones on Brio all together?

I have. It doesn't stick between reboots.

Are you using wireplumber? I referenced https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber#Disable_a_device/node when I disabled my camera microphone.

I think so:
[thomas.cameron@case Desktop]$ ps axfw | grep plumb 14885 ? S<sl 0:01 _ /usr/bin/wireplumber
I'll give it a shot.

Arch Linux documentation is excellent. I've learned to consult arch docs when I don't find the answer with fedora docs. I would like to understand what arch does right. I expect is a question of building a community where users make an effort to "give back". This means not just blindly applying fixes, but actually coming to an understanding the problem and solution.
