4)mic is not working (not fixed)
problem description: droid cam is able to connect with the PC and the camera is working fine but the mic is not working.

I had tried to fix this one but I was not able to fix this.

btw I forgot to mention when I connect with my mobile it shows like little pop-up stating that Audio is connected and I can see a few new audio devices named "Analog input" in my mic section but when I switch to them I don't get any audio I had tried in a different app like Obs, brave(WhatsApp web) and other the camera is working but the mic is not.

If you need any more info regarding the issue let me know.

You can try using Iriun Webcam, it works seamlessly over the wifi itself.

not working

If you add a few more words, maybe you could turn that into an actual sentence with a discernable meaning. :eyes:
