I have a H1 Zoom Recorder and it functions as a USB Mic. I connect it to Ubuntu 16.04, but I am unable to find it under 'Input' tab of the 'Sounds' option.
I went on to Install pauvcontrol but I do not find the option there. I can confirm that the device (Zoom Recorder) is working well.
My intention is to use the Mic with Cheese Webcam Booth and with Audacity eventually.
As advised I am leaving the following details:
