Quick answer
Select the intended input in Sound settings and watch its level indicator while speaking. A connected USB microphone can appear as a separate audio device.
Understand the issue
Test the desktop input before changing the meeting application. If the correct device works there, inspect the application's own input choice and permissions. Check a hardware mute switch and cable connection without repeatedly unplugging an active recording.
Step-by-step checks
- Open Sound and select the USB device under Input.
- Speak normally and inspect the level indicator.
- Record a short sample in the intended application.
