I purchased a Logitech C270 HD Webcam which according to this site
http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices is compatible with Linux.
I ran up a Live CD of Ubuntu 11.10 and connected the camera.
the camera works but the microphone does not work at all. (The mic
works in Windows).
Is there a way of getting the mic to work? (I couldn't get it to work
in either Sound Recorder or Skype...)
Update.
Firstly I had connected the camera AFTER the live CD had run up. Mistake.
I connected the camera BEFORE the Live CD started, set the settings in
Sound settings and this is what happened.
The mic works perfectly OK in 10.04 LTS with the file created in Sound
Recorder playing back perfectly OK.
Using 11.10, the mic works, BUT - on re-playing the file recorded in
Sound Recorder or using the test call function in Skype, it just plays
gibberish - sounds like a demented Mickey Mouse.
