How is it possible that Linux nowaday, still lacks on this kind of driver problems?
Might be a question for Philips I would say: who do you expect to write the driver? For Windows everybody expects the vendor to create / ship them. For Linux everybody expects them 'just to work' (seems nobody has to write them, let alone having specifications on how to interact with the hardware).

Hi Dominique,
I agree on you points, however, them cannot be used as a mere justification simply because it wouldn't be the first case where the vendor has not wrote a specific driver for Linux but despite of this, the hardware doesn't works.
Linux is great and is powerful also because it can do more and better of M$ normally for free, but there are still some points where it lacks against Windows and USB Microphone is one of these.
I think that present issue is not just on Philips brand; I guess other users, with different USB WebCams with integrated Mics suffer of same problem on video or audio or both failure and this is not IMHO so much justifiable.
There is a USB Audio Class which is implemented in Linux ... Isnt it used in that device? lsusb -v output of it? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
