Hassio + USB Camera/Mic: No audio detected?

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I’m trying to play with voice recognition (ada/almond) and bought a “playstation eye” as a cheap camera that is supposed to be supported basically anywhere.
I run hassio on my synology in a VM and I’m forwarding the USB device (works fine for e.g. wyze or ZHA/Zwave sticks prior to this)

When I plug the camera in, I can see it:

[  495.335396] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[  496.137959] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1415, idProduct=2000, bcdDevice= 2.00
[  496.139600] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[  496.141996] usb 2-2: Product: USB Camera-B4.09.24.1
[  496.144390] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

hassos seems up to date:

~ $ hassio hassos info
board: ova
version: "3.7"
version_cli: "15"
version_cli_latest: "15"
version_latest: "3.7"

~ $ uname -a
Linux core-ssh.local.hass.io 4.19.88 #1 SMP Mon Dec 16 13:50:58 UTC 2019 x86_64 Linux

But it doesn’t show up as audio:

~ $ hassio hw info
audio: {}
disk: []
gpio: []
input:
- ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse
- AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
- QEMU QEMU USB Tablet
- Power Button
serial:
- /dev/ttyS3
- /dev/ttyS2
- /dev/ttyS1
- /dev/ttyS0
~ $ hassio hw audio
audio:
  input: {}
  output: {}

Any ideas why this won’t show up as audio?
