I can see the mic is working correctly in GNOME settings.
But Audacity 3.0.2 installed with dnf doesn’t show any levels on monitor no matter what I choose, and doesn’t record anything.
In terminal I see some messages that might be related.

I planned to translate audio into Russian for this video about Open Source in usa.gov Michigan Senate Appropriations Committee, Feb 26 2020 - YouTube but now I am blocked. Going to try another recording program right now.
