Hi, Justin, just another Jami (and Debian) user
here.

How are you installing Jami?
Because if you're doing it from official Devuan
repos then maybe you should try first to contact
the packager/package maintainer.

Don't know if you're using PulseAudio or bare
ALSA. If PA is the case, then you can check that
PA is the selected audio server in Jami (Settings > Media) and then run
`pavucontrol` and check in Settings if the webcam audio device appears as
available (if not, that's a thing to fix that's
previous to any Jami setting, I suppose).

Hope this helps, kind regards!
