My experience is that Jitsi is extremely picky. On my (Void) Linux
computer, only Chromium works. Also, our Greater Orlando Linux User
Group (GoLUG) Jitsi server I can use the microphone on my webcam, but
on meet.jit.si that microphone is not recognized, and instead I need to
use a standalone USB microphone that acts as another sound card with
input only.

The following is my microphone, which works quite well with Jitsi:
