I have a small script in python: 

def listen(language):
    speech_config.speech_recognition_language=language
    audio_config = speechsdk.audio.AudioConfig(use_default_microphone=True)
    speech_recognizer = speechsdk.SpeechRecognizer(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_config)
    print("Speak into your microphone.")
    speech_recognition_result = speech_recognizer.recognize_once_async().get()
    if speech_recognition_result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.RecognizedSpeech:
        print("Recognized: {}".format(speech_recognition_result.text))
        return speech_recognition_result.text

which is working perfectly on my MacOS Ventura 13.0. However, when i transfer it to my Linux system Running Ubuntu 22.10 i get the following stack of errors:

Exception with an error code: 0xe (SPXERR_MIC_NOT_AVAILABLE)

I have a microphone detected and it is being recognized on other applications. For development i use VS-Code, however even if i run the python program straight out of the terminal it throws this error.

I already found this: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-speech-sdk/issues/517 However, it did not contribute to my problems solution.
