tc flag

I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and I have an issue with my microphone. When the headset are unplugged the internal microphone works fine but when unplugging both the headset and internal microphone stop working. I tried to search for a fix on the forums but nothing worked.

I suppose my headset broke? My headphones mic work just fine but just 3 days ago before installing Ubuntu I played phasmophobia and my mic worked

What are the model of your headset and computer?
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
