That behaviour heavily reminds me of any other device that is loading a firmware in the device when booting into Windows (WiFi for example), keeping the firmware there until you unplug it. Did you ever check what dmesg tells you when you connect this device?

I can provide my latest dmesg output at first occasion. BTW, as I stated, it seems that apparently all is correctly recognized.
I have a webcam with embedded audio that works, but it took me a long time before I realized that in fact the webcam simulates a second sound card. Be sure to enable it in kmixer. Maybe your webcam does the same.
Hi Jos, It sounds very interesting. Confess that I manipulated into Yast-->Sound a bit, in order to see if my webcam is behaving as a sound card, but I am far to find the correct settings and how to be sure that it is really being seen as a separate sound card by the system. How did you proceed to make work your webcam? Which webcam model is it? Which Linux Distro / kernel are you using with this webcam BTW in kmix I see USB Video Camera window separate settings and I am able to select the available options and adjust the input gain.

I have a Trust 6250X webcam and I'm still on 11.0 (kernel 2.6.25.20-0.7-default) for reasons I won't go into right now. :-) To make the microphone work I plug in the camera and restart kmix (if kmix -the speaker icon- is not in your system tray you just start it). Click on kmix>mixer to bring up the big mixer panel. In the top right hand corner you will see a drop down arrow next to the make of your current sound card. Click on it and you get a drop down menu with all soundcards present. Choose your webcam, unmute the input, raise the volume to 80% and Bob is your proverbial uncle. For reasons unknown to me the volume is always reset to 0 when I unplug the camera. -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I see exactly what you reports about kmix settings. USB Video Camera is showed, along with its controls; but no chances to see any sound through kmix level meter, nor to ear recorded audio through krecord.
