[plug] Micorphone problem on Pi 4

[Chris McCormick]

Hi,

Another problem is sometimes the wrong sound source is selected. If you 
go to "Sound settings" under the xfce sound icon and choose 
"Configuration" then you should be able to change the "Profile" to the 
USB sound card instead of the built-in RPi one.

Cheers,

Chris.
