I have to finally correct my statement! The reason why my webcam microphone never worked has probably been due to missing correct USB kernel module snd- usb-audio and muted mixer settings. After loading snd-usb-audio i could use the webcam microphone, though I sound like Mickey Mouse... but audio works now at least. I am sorry for making false hopes :-) Malte _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
