Why isn't the sound settings app in debian recognising my microphone?

settings app I recently did a sudo apt full-upgrade and now my built in mic isn't being detected by the settings app.
arecord -f S16_LE -d 10 -r 16000 -c 2 --device="hw:0,6" out.wav
Does produce a wav file which I can play back and contains the correct audio. Seems like the issue might be somewhere between alsa and the control panel app, but I'm not familiar with all the layers in between.
