Audio I/O not working but device is detected

cn flag

I have encountered an issue with my audio and mic where it does not output any sound and my mic does not pick up anything, it used to output sound and mic input was very low no matter how loud the input was, is there anything i can do to get my audio and mic back?

Specs:

  • Cpu: intel i9-10900K
  • Gpu: nvidea rtx 3070
  • Motherboard: asus maximus XIII hero
  • OS: pop_OS
  • Headset: astro A10 (in combination of mic and sound splitter, plugged into the front audio jack ports, but settings detects it as USB audio.)
  • Case: lian-li O11Dynamic XL

Screenshot of the settings, it shows USB audio but the headset is plugged in via audio jacks

Screenshot

p.s: I apologize if this is the incorrect place to ask this question.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
