I have external Usb Microphone by Yeti. With every Ubuntu upgrade it takes me hours to set it up. However, after upgrade to 18.04 the microphone is not detected at all.
The result of dmesg is:

lo,
Had some troubles too with my external microphone (not USB but with micro in-plug), this one:
Looked around on the Net and wrote a small bash script with my modest knowledge (see further on).
The number '1' loads microphone module and the number '0' resets sound.
As mentioned in the script, 'Pavucontrol', should be installed but that should be alright on Ubuntu 18.04 (I use Linux Mint 19 Xfce myself).
Give the script Rights Everyone in all cases (maybe easiest by rightclicking the script).
To reload it, the name of the script file has to be the exact name as the file name at the bottom of the script. In the example: 'Microphonesound_On-Off.sh'.
Put the script somewhere and possibly shortcut it to your pc desktop (easy with PCman FM file explorer). Start by clicking or rightclicking and 'Open in terminal'.
If you still experience trouble after activating the micro sound module, go to your volume settings and check under 'Configuration' tab if 'Analog Stereo Duplex' is selected under 'Built-in Audio'. Test your Volume settings in general after having activated the microphone sound with the script.
Different systems, different configurations. But it gives an idea.
Finally the script (copy all the text until 'Microphonesound_On-Off.sh' and save as 'Microphonesound_On-Off.sh'):
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "MICROPHONE SOUND ON OR OFF"
# Requires Pavucontrol
echo
echo "Sound On = 1, Sound Off = 0 (zero):"
echo
read INPUT
if [ $INPUT == '1' ] # space before/after brackets!
then
echo
sleep 2 # required to load module
pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=10 # microphone sound On
echo "Micro sound On!"
elif [ $INPUT == '0' ]
then
echo
pulseaudio -k # reset all sound to default
echo "Micro sound Off!"
else
echo
echo "Wrong Input."
echo "Type 1 or 0."
fi
echo
echo "Enter = Reload"
echo
read
./Microphonesound_On-Off.sh
