Manjaro: Record Sound from Microphone or Intrument

For some reason you have to tweak the soundcard settings to both sound and input, like this:

Note the recording by Audacity in the background. Now the sound could take a little fine tuning in order to reduce the noise. But for now the problem of getting sound is solved.

1. Open the sound control in settings
2. Find your soundcard and make sure that you have both input and output options

IMHO such a thing should work out of the box ... I cannot see the reason for hiding such settings.
