<![CDATA[Webcam as mic?]]>I’ve been trying to implement the Google Assistant module. For my mic, I would like to use the mic of my webcam, but it doesn’t seem to show up when I use

arecorder -l

Any help would be appreciated

arecord -l    (lower case L, as in list)

do this

arecord test.wav

speak some words
press ctrl-c to stop arecord,
then

aplay test.wav

do you hear what you said?

if so, then mic & speaker are working, if not, adjust and repeat…
