SOLVED: Audio input not working, “…does not have capture controls” - new 18.04 install
EDIT: I tried buying a USB Audio Card (USB Audio Adapter); it ouputs audio fine, but still no luck getting audio input. Interestingly, though, when I plug in my headset into the microphone jack I do get some bars in Sound > Input indicating it is receiving something. Additionally, in AlsaMixer if I switch sound cards to USB Audio Device and then go to 'capture device', I do see a Mic with a EQ bar above it that I can adjust, with CAPTURE in red text just below the EQ bar
Fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04. No audio input from onboard mic or headphone/mic combo (these both work fine when I boot same machine, Acer Swift 3 SF314-54, via Windows 10), alsamixer showing "sound device has no capture controls".
I don't know if it's related, but I installed "Pulse Audio Shortcuts" extension and when I try to turn it on in the extensions section of the GNOME Tweaks program I see a yellow warning triangle with "Error loading extension" next to it. I don't appear to have gstreamer-properties command, either, even though I believe PulseAudio comes with 18.04?
Anyways, would be very grateful for approaches to solve this, thanks!
Here's my input and output settings:

Here's some related threads [1] [2] [3] [4]; I've tried basically all of the solutions suggested therein, except—as there were a number of different suggestions for how to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf—I've only tried a couple of these but not all.

Solved it with the USB Audio Adapter (examples) plus using a headset with a 3.5mm splitter.
