Hi,

Thanks for testing!

Regarding the sndio mic issue: snd/mon is a monitor device for
capturing desktop audio (playback loopback), not microphone input.
For microphone recording, use snd/0 (built in) or snd/1 (USB mic).

Also make sure audio recording is enabled at the kernel level:
	sysctl kern.audio.record=1
