What configuration profile are you using in pavucontrol?

About a year ago I tried to format a partition of my HDD as NTFS in Linux. It stuck for hours and I killed the process. The HDD was usable apart that broken partition, I formatted the partition after a while and my HDD completely died and became all useless. (The HDD was old and I didn’t really care about it)
That’s why I’m worried about. It may have been a coincidence. idk

the disk was defective, so the format hung, not the opposite

But it worked like a clock before the format?

Thanks, I’ll watch a video on it

You should read its documentation instead

Some stuff I ran, with their outputs:
Output of pacmd list-cards: https://pastebin.com/2KaGBhY4
pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_2c_00.3 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
Failure: No such entity
/etc/pulse/default.pa: https://pastebin.com/RkWYQUtP
lsmod | grep hda: https://pastebin.com/Pm8Dgw6j

That’s all the relevant info, i guess. If anything else is needed please ask for it.

What configuration profile are you using in pavucontrol ?

Analog Stereo Output was selected by default
I’ve changed it to Duplex now though

there’s no input of sound, simply. When I say something, there’s no response/recording/detection

i’m not used to using that, can you tell me how to?

Open a terminal, type alsamixer, press enter, then use the cursor and function keys to move around, M to mute/unmute.

ok, so apparantly when I connect a external microphone, it works(example, the mic of my earphones) but the inbuilt doesn’t

yes it does, and it isn’t damaged either

now i have invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature) for some of my packages

Few years ago I did an update on my main pc with novideo gpu and kde probably after something like 3 months

*the masculine urge to stop updating for 3 months and get on with my life
