Hi there,

just a hint for folks who may need it... The USB microphone of my
Philips SPC 620 NC never worked with Linux. I could never use the mic
with Skype.

A few days agos, when I installed a dual boot system with Windows Vista
I noticed something interesting: after installing the Windows drivers
and using the cam/mic with Skype under Windows it suddenly started to
work under Linux as well!

My guess is, the Windows driver loads necessary firmware into the camera
that makes the microphone work under Linux.

So, if you have a (USB) webcam and its microphone does not work with
Linux I would suggest to use the cam under Windows with the Windows
driver it may help to make the cam work under Linux.

Malte
