I looked at the sound settings and went to output. There only appeared the built-in microphone. I tried plugging and unplugging my mic but it was not detected. Based from the test sound, it only detects the sound from my laptop's built-in mic.

I searched for ways to do it online but so far, I only saw stuff related to the Sound settings that I mentioned before.
I tried following this:
But it still didn't work when I tested in in input sounds.lynxfan wrote: ⤴Sun Jun 18, 2017 4:44 am Thanks to the forums.
My USB microfone working fine after the below changes to the file /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_sound.py
self.inputSelector = self.buildDeviceSelect("output", self.inputDeviceList) # the line with bug
self.inputSelector = self.buildDeviceSelect("input", self.inputDeviceList) #correct changes
Tested with Microsoft webcam & SENNHEISER headset
