External microphone not working on Link
I recently purchased a usb C gooseneck microphone to plug straight into my Quest Pro (v81). It works and sounds great on native quest apps and recordings, but as soon as I use any streaming software ...

For additional context here is a video:
And the supported formats of the USB Microphone plugged straight into my PC.
When we compare this to the Antlion USB microphone [that works on AirLink or VD], the Antlion has more supported formats. (This list also explains why my Antlion will randomly sound low-quality on Virtual Desktop and that's probably because it sometimes chooses one of the lower sample rates).
But what is confusing is that Virtual Desktop is locked to a format that this microphone supports and according to ggodin is the native format of the headset.
My guess is that the headset is choosing the highest of the supported formats (24 bit, 96KHz) which does not work with PCVR streaming? The question would now be, how do I lock the format of this microphone on my Quest Pro?

Do you perhaps have Virtual Desktop set to "Automatically adjust bitrate"?
No, I always run it at 325 mbps. I'm on 6ghz with a custom xeon router.
I've decided to give up and return the microphone. As a last resort, I frankensteined a cheap transmitter onto my headset. Behold my awful creation
