Hi, A "Creative Live! Cam Socialize HD AF" webcam with integrated microphone works well in my sid AMD64 system. Skype can use the webcam without problems. However, the microphone is proving difficult. I can record sound from it using:
arecord -f cd -c 1 -D hw:2,0 -d 5 ~/tmp/test.wav Note that '-c 1' to explicitly specify the channel was necessary or else arecord can't get the channel count. The sound in ~/tmp/test.wav has no problems whatsoever. I'm using KDE, and hence pulseaudio and phonon for handling sound, and made sure that the webcam's microphone level is high in alsamixer. However, this capture device cannot be selected as the preferred device in System Settings -> Multimedia -> Phonon. Hitting "prefer" does move it up the list, but once I get out of there (after "apply", of course) it is again shown as the second (last) option. Any ideas on what may be going on?
