I followed the instruction on https://randomblog.hu/using-your-android-phone-as-a-webcam-for-ubuntu-20-04-with-droidcam/ to download the droidcam to a directory on my Ubunto PC. I ran the following commands in succession:

sudo ./install-client
sudo ./install-dkms
sudo ./install-video

On the second command sudo ./install-dkms, I got the error ./install-dkms: line 32: dkms: command not found. I still proceeded with the third command, install-video.

The DroidCam installed and I installed the DroidCam app on my Android phone. I entered the IP on the DroidCam on my Ubuntu desktop. I was able to make a test video call. The video was displaying but the audio on the microphone was not working. How do I get the microphone to work?

The error ./install-dkms: line 32: dkms: command not found is important, and is why later things aren't working. You need this command to work successfully for Droidcam to work. See this post for what dkms is.

To install dkms, run sudo apt install dkms. Reboot, and then try the script again.
