I have a Nexigo N60 1080p FHD Webcam with a built-in microphone. The webcam works fine, but I cannot get the microphone to work.
I have tried commenting out the module-suspend-on-idle line in /etc/pulse/default.pa and reloading pulseaudio as suggested in this post: USB webcam microphone not working .
As a test, I went to and Firefox prompts me to allow the webcam microphone, so it is at least recognizing that there is a microphone there. When I click allow and try to record, no audio gets picked up.
I am on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. My pacmd shows the device in a RUNNING state while it was supposedly recording:
