From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you running pulse audio or pipe wire? My best guess is some other software is unaware of the also state and resetting it.
After some more testing, I think this is indeed the case. The problem is that the device has two input channels ("line-in", " external mic"). In alsamixer i can select both as "PCM capture source" (from here) However, the input tab of pavucontrol, i can only select "line in". I switched through all available profiles for the card. But the dropdown only always show "line-in"
Any ideas?
