Just writing to confirm that sordna's workaround works. For anyone looking to apply it:
- $ sudo nano /etc/default/grub - Find the line that begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and append usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to tell the system to never autosuspend USB devices. Note that, within the quotes, this field is space-separated. My line now reads: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1" - Save your updated grub file (using nano, CTRL+O and then ENTER to confirm the change). - Exit your text editor (using nano, CTRL+X). - $ sudo update-grub -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/843431 Title: Logitech camera microphone does not work / makes "chipmunk" sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/843431/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
