pulseaudio failed to start if Ubuntu 21.04 runs with usb microphone plugged-in. But pulseaudio starts normally if Ubuntu 21.04 runs without the USB, and it still works fine even the USB plugged-in after the system boots.

The log message from journalctl when pulseaudio failed to start :

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.
