I have the following:
Computer: HP 17-CP0336NG
Puppy Linux: fossapup64
Chromium: 97.0
The microphone works fine in Firefox and Opera. I'm able to use, for example, Google Hangouts without issue. However, Chromium doesn't recognise either the built-in speakers or the microphone. I saw this link (https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=118473), which recommended I install pulseaudio to solve the issue; however, I already have pulseaudio installed. I am running Chromium as spot, with apulse: run-as-spot apulse /path/to/latest/chrome.
If anyone has ideas about how I might be able to troubleshoot this, I'd be quite grateful.
