Hi Marco,

I know that what am starting to tell is firstly out-of-topic, then not application related (empathy, Skype, Kopete, Pidgin...), but moreover kernel/audio-platform related, anyway I woul like to point out the fact that 11.3 is still lacking driver support for USB Mics.
(I mean the ones integrated into Web Cams, as the Philips SPC530NC).
Isn't this a driver issue? It might make sense to contact the kernel hackers to see what is the status there...
Thanks,
Vincent
Hi Vincent, I googled a bit and found: http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Linux_UVC Where, on particular I get this: Starting at version 2.6.22, the Linux kernel includes a USB audio bug fix which triggers a (possibly identical to the above) bug in first and second generation Logitech webcams. Fortunately this one seems to have a workaround, although not a pretty one. The webcam audio interface must be initialised before the video interface. Linux will by default initialise the video interface first, so you need to remove the uvcvideo.ko module from the /lib/modules subdirectory where it gets loaded automatically, and load it manually after plugging the webcam. A more convenient workaround on openSUSE (and maybe other distros too) Just add the following line to your /etc/modprobe.conf.local : install uvcvideo /sbin/modprobe snd_usb_audio; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install uvcvideo * If you have to reset you cam for any reason, do: 1. unplug your cam 2. modprobe -r uvcvideo 3. modprobe -r snd_usb_audio 4. replug your cam o (not sure if step 1 and 4 are really necessary, or if 2 and 3 would be sufficient) So I am very curious to make a test later at home ;-) Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
