--- Comment #3 from Nils Ellmenreich nils@ellmenreich.net 2011-12-11 15:37:30 UTC --- I should have added: this is a regression, the same webcam worked fine under 11.4.
I have recompiled 3.1.0-1.2-desktop with this patch and now the webcam works again. I hope this simple solution finds its way into the next 12.1 kernel release.

--- Comment #4 from Joon Ro joonpyro@gmail.com 2011-12-12 21:45:21 UTC --- I'm having the same problem. Temporarily, I can fix this with turning off/on the webcam mic in pulse volume control. (Switch profile to "Off")
I'm hoping the permanent fix is implemented soon.

--- Comment #5 from Paul Vuleta pvuleta@ihug.co.nz 2011-12-13 06:19:49 UTC --- Same here on Logitech C200 webcam. Is a bit intermittent, tends to work ok if you do a video test first on the camera, ie Skype options video test video, then if you leave it again come back later it goes back to playing back at high speed. Sort of ties in with the "many webcams suffer from a race condition that may crash them upon resume" comment in the link above (Here is the patch: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/52027)
This is not restricted to openSUSE, I have seen other forum where the same issue has been raised, some fixed with a patch to the kernel, others not.

--- Comment #6 from Marcos Truchado marcos.truchado@gmail.com 2011-12-14 23:09:26 UTC --- For all of you, there is a fast workaround. Install the latest stable kernel from here:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Kernel%3Astable
currently It is 3.1.5-1-desktop

OS 12.1 Kernel Update

After an update it is resolved.
The problem seems to have recurred -- see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35922. I'm getting "chipmunk" audio with a Logitech C270 webcam with kernel-default-4.13.12-1.1.x86_64 on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Should I open a new bug for the openSUSE Tumbleweed project or just reopen this one and change the product?
