Emulator

I've set Microphone to Slot B (and my default microphone with Gnome/pavucontrol) and Mario Party 7 doesn't recognize a mic (so it's not like I don't have any input, it's acting like no mic is plugged in at all):

If I repeat those same steps in Windows, it works:

But I don't know, if you say it's working for you, it might be an user error. I have no idea what I could do differently though.

So can you reopen this or should I create a new ticket? I have an issue and I'd appreciate it if I'd receive some help.
