I have plugged my microphone in and the webcam. In YAST2 when I select HW info, it lists the correct USB Cam that I have, but I can't get xawtv to even start (it says /dev/video0 no such device). When I try a basic "rec -d /dev/dsp myfile.wav" it appears to record, but with no sound on playback. I have looked at volume control and the Mic is set up to rec. If I just speak into the mic without anything running, I can hear myself(!)

I know this is a lot of queries, but if anyone can help.....

Cheers,

Try using the mic in a terminal. Just do a 'man record' and you'll get all the info you need to try it this way, it even has recording level meters. I've found with 8.2, that for some reason, after a reboot sometimes my mic isn't recognized, and have to reboot once or twice more until it is, then I can record just fine (thus once everything's running the way I want it, I *never* reboot again, unless I have to do a kernel or video thing). As for GnomeMeeting, there's rpm(s) for it from a link or two on the GnomeMeeting website, made just for SuSE...this is the one I got and installed and it works perfectly for me (make sure you get the other two things listed there also). John PS, You might want to cut that sig a whole bunch too...it's gawdawful long. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3rc2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/VgMVH5oDXyLKXKQRAqLQAJ9Z2wXorBeUNkC8mc5B3PI6oCkaDwCgkbep Kcn/L+YQe0v3EScqy+L92BQ= =vztI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
