Re: OpenBSD friendly usb WebCam/Mic for Teams Meetings

Thanks - it's almost working.

The usb webcam microphone uses /dev/audio1 and the Teams host receives
audio if /dev/audio1 has been set to the default audio device.  I do not
receive the hosts audio through /dev/audio1.

I receive audio, in chromium, with the default audio set at /dev/audio0
but the host does not receive the audio feed.

I'm wondering if I can enable both /dev/audio0 and /dev/audio1.
Alternatively, I suspect that an old Mic plugged into the onboard audio
input would work.

aucat(1) indicates a second device can be a slave with output to a
second program but not wot the same program.  Can both audio0 and audio1
be multiplex'd and feed to chromium - hopefully without feedback issues?
