Public bug reported: I have a HyperX Cloud II USB headset I've been using with Kubuntu 20.04 for a good while, and usually it works fine. Sometimes though, the microphone stops working, and I cannot for the life of me figure why. Pulling out the USB and putting it into another computer, also with Kubuntu 20.04, makes it work there but doing the reverse again doesn't help.
I've tried different USB ports, checking it's not muted with the hardware button, checked alsamixer, pavucontrol and everything I can think of. Restarting does not help either. But then, after a few days, it tends to start working again, without me having any idea why. It kinda drives me nuts and I don't even know how to debug it properly, since it happens seemingly at random and it fixes itself at random. Maybe there's some kind of firmware issue? How would I potentially find out?
