external USB microphone is not detected

I have an external usb microhpone that i am trying to connect and use on my steam deck. I am using the steam deck dock, but the problem is the same on another usb-c dongle. Pipewire and alsa do not seem to recognize the device, but the device is powered. I tried switching from xhci to drd in the bios but still no fix.

Might be helpfull to post the vendor:device numbers... Maybe it isn't detected/recognized by Linux yet? If another Linux variant DOES detect/show it in lsusb, then the driver might need to be added to Bazzite...

Does it show in lsusb? If so might want to post the complete entry for that device. PS: I personaly don't have a clue in this case, my advice is just so others who might have more tech know-how to be able to help you better... https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0d8c-0171
