I am using jackd and pulseaudio with the pulseaudio-jack-module so that I can have pulseaudio and jack running at the same time. I mostly use jack applications, except for web browsing and a few other applications.
I am trying to record audio but I get really bad feedback if I try to record audio. If I plug in my headphones the feedback mostly goes away but if I touch the laptop I can hear it in my recording.
It sounds like linux is still recording through my built in mic. I am wondering if I can fix this or will I need to buy a usb mic or something like that?
I am using kxstudio's audio
Here's some debugging output

I would just like to be able to record some short clips, not for music or anything, more like a voice over.
I have qas mixer and it
In the above screenshot I have headphones plugged in so that I don't blow out my ears.
I made this sample clip, it's very short but you can literally hear my keystrokes and me moving my hands or try to type. You can listen to the 10 second clip here
So does this mean that I need a usb mic or is there something wrong with my audio setup? How could I fix this?
