Wonder if the lack of answers to my latest post (in attach) is because nobody use Philips USB Webcams with embedded microphone, or because this appears to be a know bug of Linux kernel, which is not yet resolved.
How is it possible that Linux nowaday, still lacks on this kind of driver problems?
Hi there, I have a Philips SPC620NC and I have the same audio issues, it is virtually impossible to get the built in microhphone running. I currently use a headset connected to my soundcard and use the webcam for video only. I can only recommend, take your fingers away from Philips webcams. Go to the Linux uvcvideo homepage, look at the supported UVC webcams and try one of these: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#devices This is what I will do. I will give away my SPC620NC and go maybe for a Logitech. By the way, this is not Linux' fault. It also depends on the hardware make to give information to write proper drivers, if the hardware make is not helpful, the community cannot do much.
