Hi Luke, Sorry I've been trying to get the kinect to work for audio - and that's a whole other dilemma. I'd assumed it was part of libkinect (it sort of is in unstable), but in order to get it to work as a standard snd-usb- audio device you need to use kinect-audio-setup (see

Luke: in my experience I need to have the default.pa hack or the ps3 eye isn't detected. From what I can tell with the kinect patch I've done everything necessary in terms of adding the profile to pulse, but I may be missing something from the module loading standpoint? I'm hoping upstream/someone

Well.. considering this was all caused by the original 4-channel profile being removed from default (according to the commit because it was thought it wasn't used) I don't think that would be an issue. I do have a kinect though and I'm willing to test it with that. The point anyway is that there

Luke: Thanks, for forwarding upstream. I agree - they have to decide what to do with the profile, I'd just like to make sure they know that this isn't as special a case as they seemed to think it was (with the kinect). If you need any more information on the 4-channel input devices out there let

Sorry Johnny et. al., I should have mentioned I actually got it working and provided more information. Once you'd added an appropriate 4-channel input profile whatever way you want (I've removed the kinect specific profile and added a default one since there are plenty of 4-channel mics out

I have used the microphone for speech recognition at this point, so I'm pretty sure it's working, but I've only specifically recorded audio using audacity (which *always* worked somehow). How are you using the microphone? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

I've even got the ps3 eye to work with alsamixer now, but you have to load up the snd_usb_audio module with the ignore_ctl_error parameter set: modprobe snd_usb_audio ignore_ctl_error=1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Johnny: Great, glad to see it's working for you :-) As a further not on the alsamixer fix above, it just prevents the mixer from exiting in error, it doesn't actually give alsamixer working controls for the mic - you just get a Front and Rear volume control that seems to not save or actually
