For some reason my Logitech C930e is not giving me an input option for the Mic. I checked alsamixer and this device isn’t showing up, yet Zoom and Cheese are both detecting the webcam, just not the mic part.
What should I do?
Check if the webcam is detected as an audio capture device in ALSA
arecord -l
Response should look similar to this If the microphone is detected, but might have a different card number

Unfortunately, the Logitech webcam is not showing up.
Check if webcam is recognised as a USB device by system
lsusb -vd 046d:0843
and check for any warnings/errors for audio driver snd_usb_audio
sudo dmesg | grep snd
