[SOLVED] Troubleshooting Microphone input

Not sure if this is the right forum, but since it's not a hardware issue here we go:

I am unable to use voice search on any of my browsers although microphone is allowed. However, on Zoom it works.
I am new relatively to Linux (Mint 21.3 on a RYZEN 9 5900X w Gigabyte mobo).
Have installed Mint on several laptops and it worked perfectly.

Microphone is part of a webcam.

How to troubleshoot?

Let me know if this should be in another forum

Thanks!
