Aircraft
I operated Aircraft X ZZZ - ZZZ1. I was the Pilot Flying. Flight was routine until we were about 170 miles out of ZZZ1. My First Officer was having problems with his radios when answering. We finally figured out that the problem was his ACP (Audio Control Panel) panel. It was causing problems with his speaker and Mic. He could only hear out of my side. I told him to make the landing and I will do the radios. It was just after that time we got a F/CTL ELAC 2 PITCH FAULT ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor). We got the book out and went through the reset procedure. When we reset the ELAC (Elevator Aileron Control) we received a FLT CONTROL ELAC 2 FAULT and F/ CTL L ELEV FAULT. I should also mention that on takeoff on [Runway] 28L in ZZZ when I rotated the aircraft it felt unresponsive with pitch initially. I even mentioned to [First Officer] that the CG must have been wrong; so this now got my attention. Descent was now upon us and we started down. When reading the notes in the book about no use of the speed brakes and Flaps 3 landing with a note that said we would lose normal law and revert to direct law when we dropped the gear. I decided to try to communicate with Dispatch and Maintenance. I had them call me and with the radio issues and was able to confirm what we had read in the handbook. The work load was really starting to increase at this point. I told [First Officer] I would take control of the aircraft. With the degradation of the elevator system along with being unable to use the speed brakes to meet ATC constraints on the STAR; I decided to [advise ATC]. I briefed our Purser about the situation but did not prep the cabin. ATC got us right in and we landed on Runway 9 with no issues. It should be noted that when we dropped the gear we never did go to direct law. We did have elevator flutter on the descent however.
