External microphone is read on Input devices but does not register sound

I have a mac mini M4 and I'm trying to connect my external microphone, when going into Settings>Sound>Input my external microphone appear as "GVAUDIO" type USB, but does not register any sound when selected. I have tried with 2 different mics and same problem is presented.

How do I get my mac to register the sound from my external mic?

PD. This issue does not present itself with Bluetooth devices.
