Screenshot from Krecorder settings

SUMMARY
Bluetooth earbuds (CMF Buds 2 Plus, working perfectly in all other applications, both as audio output/input) not listed in audio input dropdown menu in Krecorder 25.12,  just my internal laptop mic (ryzen hd audio controller analog stereo).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Downloaded app from the official CashyOs v3 repo (app version 5.12.0-1.1, build date 12/12/2025) through Octopi.
2. Opened app from KDE application launcher.
3. Opened app settings and clicked to expand audio input devices, only saw internal mic listed.

OBSERVED RESULT
Internal mic is the only audio input device listed in app settings.

EXPECTED RESULT
Bluetooth earbuds should be listed as an option in audio input devices for recording, below internal mic.
