Hello Everyone,


I recently came across an issue while I was about to join a google meet my microphone was not detected by google meet for some reason, So I went into the sound settings and it showed no input device I searched for the solution to the problem but nothing seemed to work. If you find any solution please share it with me I'll be grateful.

usually related to pulse audio and it not talking to ALSA in most cases.
Install pulse audio volume control, that should allow easy config;

sudo apt install pavucontrol

Open a terminal and first install ALSA utilities, and then run the set up;

sudo apt install alsa-utils

alsamixer


you will then get a menu to select devices for ALSA that should allow you to choose the correct input.

you may need to reboot after setting ALSA for pulse audio to pick it up.
