I am using Ubuntu 24.04 and trying to record live audio with ffmpeg. I am using the command

Code:ffmpeg -f alsa -i default [...]... and want it to route to the correct microphone. But right now, I can't figure out how to set what "default" points to.

"arecord -l" gives me the following info:

Code:card 1: C200 [Anker PowerConf C200], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]How do I set this device as default alsa capture/input device?
