App can’t connect to microphone device on Azure VM

Question

Hello,
Our team is working on UI tests automation of UWP app in Azure DevOps and Azure VM infrastructure. We created agent pool and installed agent on Azure VM. Then pipeline uses that agent to run UI tests.
Our tested UWP app is tightly coupled with microphone access and, as expected, during tests run we are getting message that app can’t connect to microphone device.
We thought that we could solve it by using third party software to simulate sound card (like https://www.e2esoft.com/vsc/ or https://github.com/duncanthrax/scream) or virtual audio input/output devices (like https://vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm or https://vac.muzychenko.net/en/ ). Unfortunately, no one worked out, sound IO devices are not being appeared in Windows 10.
Maybe you can provide instructions about ways to solve microphone access on Azure VM or explain why virtualization ways could not work.
Or, what Azure can suggest for the such case
