[Bug 219927] Re: Microphone on a USB Logitech Quickcam does not work

[Andrej Prša]

More comments after more testing...

The output from arecord -l:

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: default [Camera         ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Trying arecord -D hw:1,0 > test.wav says "arecord: main:546: audio open
error: Device or resource busy"

However... I don't think I was correct to blame the kernel module for
this: finally I managed to squeeze some sound from my usb camera mic by
installing bplay and invoking:

brec -d /dev/audio1

That captured the sound from my microphone flawlessly. Trying to do the
same through gnome-sound-recorder fails (it captures from the integrated
card with no option to change the source)

Trying to change System->Preferences->Sound->Sound Capture to USB Audio
causes gnome-sound-recorder to report: "Your audio capture settings are
invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."
