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 http://groups.google.com/group/openkinect/browse_thread/thread/97d5656f550669d5) and then run kinect-fw-upload with the extracted firmware file.
Interestingly after I do this, the kinect doesn't work with pulseaudio for me, despite that patch that seems to be in the ubuntu version of pulseaudio!!

This leaves me very confused since as you know the kinect should be forced to load it's own profile - and this matches my testing with the ps3 eye when I tried to add a custom profile using udev in the same manner. When I use my patch I have the same problem, the kinect is not found by the auto-module loader, however when I force the module to load (as with the ps3 eye) it is visible. So no, this seems to be required for both. I have no idea why, but considering the kinect didn't work with a virgin pulse-audio install I suspect there is something else going on here... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
