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.

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.
