user35037: I recently upgraded my MacBook Early 2015 2.9 i5 8gb ram computer to BigSur 11.3.1.
My previous command that would record a video with audio no longer works. The video is recording, but there is no audio. Here is the output. Does anybody have any thoughts on what may be the cause of this or how to troubleshoot. I've been trying different solutions all day! Here is the output when I run the command and hit control-C to stop recording:

user35037: I figured it out; I hope my solution will help others.
For some reason ZoomAudioDevice the '0' slot in my devices. Why in the world wouldn't that be reserved for the Built-in Microphone, ALWAYS? To make matters works, the ZoomAudioDevice was not in the Settings Panel in BigSur, so it couldn't be removed manually. I had to Uninstall Zoom, then do a command-alt-P-R (20 second) reboot to free it up. Now Zoom is gone, avfoundation has only one audio input (0 = built in microphone) and everything is working as before. I guess the lesson is 'Beware of Zoom'?
