Okay, now I've exhausted the quick fixes that you've suggested and
have come to a new conclusion.
Without modifying the value in "gspca_dev->nbalt" the drivers will
report "bandwidth not wide enough - trying again". Modifying this
value to subtract between 1 and 8 seems to eliminate this bandwidth
error.
However, the results ultimately stay the same as before where there is
video and no audio for decreasing "gspca_dev->nbalt" from 0-5.
Video input stops working after decreasing by 6-8 while still breaking
the audio input, except for decreasing by 8 where the video breaks
and audio remains...due to a "no transfer endpoint found" message.
My conclusion, reducing "gspca_dev->nbalt" by values 1-5 apparently
fix the bandwidth issue and don't alter the video input. However, they
also do not correct the issue where the microphone breaks and becomes
disabled.
Below is a log that I kept of each test, compiling the changes,
rebooting, testing and recording, then repeating for each decrement.

-------------------------------------
The point of breaking the microphone appears to be at the same
instance that the second "found int in endpoint: 0x83, buffer_len=1,
interval=100" occurs. This is in the alloc_and_submit_int_urb()
function in gspca.c.
Is there any way that I can do a deeper trace on this to find what is
actually going wrong here?
Does this help at all?
Thanks.
