Soundblaster Z Microphone Issue with Debian 10
Good evening,
I've got a Soundblaster Z sound card which I'm running on Debian 10.
While it works with sound output, it won't accept input from the microphone.
I've tried the usual tricks using the alsamixer and so forth, but to no
avail.
My lspci output looks like this:

I've disabled the Intel Onboard Sound since I'd run this lspci thinking
it was that, however I'm still not able to send sound in via the
microphone.
Any advice you'd have to offer, would be gratefully received.
Many thanks and very best wishes,
Emyr
