Description

Steps to reproduce

Adapt an external microphone ( like the Hollyland Lark M2) to the USB connector.
Start a talk.
There is no option to use the external microphone.

Expected behaviour

I would expect that I can switch between the internal and the external microphone as it is possible in the regular photo / video app.

Actual behaviour

There is no option to switch to the external microphone.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the call on a Google Pixel 7 with the Hollyland Lark M2 and Android 16, then trace how Talk handles audio input selection. Done means an in-call choice between the internal and external microphone, with the behavior verified on the reported setup.
