Bug Description
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with all the latest updates and kazam 1.4.5 'NCC-80102'. When I start kazam it detects no audio devices despite having a USB headset with speaker and microphone plugged in. I have checked in gnome sound settings, as well as with other applications, that both the speaker and microphone are working properly. I will include a screenshot showing that kazam finds no audio devices. When I run kazam from the command line, it gives the following messages:
```
$ kazam
WARNING Kazam - Failed to correctly detect operating system.
/usr/lib/
self.
(kazam:5384): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:04:09.825: Can't set a parent on widget which has a parent
(kazam:5384): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:04:09.832: Can't set a parent on widget which has a parent
WARNING Prefs - Unable to find any audio devices.
```
Screenshot of kazam and gnome sound settings showing incoherence between the two.
