[qubes-users] External Hardware Problem: Microphone owned by dom0

When I go to the attach device menu, all the devices say that they are owned by sys-usb (eg. sys-usb:4-1.6 - Ricoh_Company_Ltd._Integrated_Camera) except for the microphone (listing dom0:mic - Microphone). I thought that this might be intended, since that has been the case since I bought this thing, but when I tried to use it, it wouldn't attach. Is it supposed to go through sys-usb like everything else, and if not, why wouldn't it do that and how do I get it to do it?

when I tried to use it, it wouldn't attach.

Then you are probably missing the pulseaudio-qubes package in the qube
you are trying to attach to.

Is it supposed to go through sys-usb like everything else,

No, as I explained in the forum.

and if not, why wouldn't it do that and how do I get it to do it?

We can try to find out, let's start with what I mentioned above.

Also, please pick one place to discuss this: either here or the forum -- either is fine but please not both at the same time.

Thank you!
