Mic works in driver level, but not picked up in settings or any game

Hello, freshly installed Bazzite. Settings says "No Input Devices". Outputs work completely fine. Mic is plugged into rear panel line in 3.5mm port

I can hear myself just fine with:

~ arecord -D hw:1,0 -f cd test.wav -d 5
~ aplay test.wav

~ arecord -D hw:1,0 -f cd test.wav -d 5

pactl shows output devices as sources for some reason?

~ pactl list short sources
54    alsa_output.pci-0000_09_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra1.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    SUSPENDED
58    alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    IDLE

~ pactl list short sources
54    alsa_output.pci-0000_09_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra1.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    SUSPENDED
58    alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    IDLE

If i load module it shows up in cli, but it shows up as output and also not anywhere else

~ pactl load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
~ pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D
~ pactl list short sources
536870916
54    alsa_output.pci-0000_09_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra1.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    SUSPENDED

81    alsa_output.hw:1,0    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    SUSPENDED

~ pactl load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
~ pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D
~ pactl list short sources
536870916
54    alsa_output.pci-0000_09_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra1.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    SUSPENDED
58    alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    IDLE
81    alsa_output.hw:1,0    PipeWire    s32le 2ch 48000Hz    SUSPENDED

After systemctl restart the device dissapears in CLI as well

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

Added module loading to default configuration, but after restarts of all kind, it doesnt seem to do anything.

~ sudo cat /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so

~ sudo cat /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so

In alsamixer i've tried switching input source to all 3 options (Front Mic, Rear Mic, Line) I don't really get how to use it, attaching a pic.

Help would be appreciated.

FIxed on my own.

Card has profiles for output as well as output + input. I had my default profile set to output only, cause i was making a script to switch between SPIDF and line out.
This fixes it:

pactl set-card-profile "$CARD" "output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo"

pactl set-card-profile "$CARD" "output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo"
