Unable to record audio in GCP debian VM

I have been stuck to record audio in a debian vitual machine. uname -a gives: configuration is - 5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.221-1 (2024-07-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux. I have installed pulse audio, pavucontrol, alsa(all installations), sox.

  1. With aplay -l, it displays no sound cards are available. I followed the solution on this link-https://askubuntu.com/questions/1082472/how-can-i-resolve-this-problem-unable-to-locate-package-linux-image-extra-4-15 . But on running this command-sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual i get error- E: Unable to locate package linux-modules-extra-5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-modules-extra-5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64' E: Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-virtual

  2. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1434488/modprobe-fatal-module-snd-aloop-not-found-linstall-inux-modules-extra-5-4-0 sudo modprobe snd-gives-modprobe: FATAL: Module snd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64 on running- sudo apt install linux-generic i get-E: Unable to locate package linux-generic

  3. https://askubuntu.com/questions/70560/why-am-i-getting-this-connection-to-pulseaudio-failed-error sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install pulseaudio autospawn = yes

  4. on trying any pulse audio command- i get connection refused error.

The issue still remains unresolved. Please let me know if there is any possible solution. Thanks in advance.

Try below commands for pulse audio and let me know if you are facing an error attach the output in the question :

$ sudo glinux-config set audio_server pulseaudio
$ sudo glinux-updater
$ sudo reboot

Another solution worth trying

systemctl --user restart pipewire
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse
