You are quite right and I apologise. Yes I did get it sorted. In the end
I found a video on the internet which showed how to sort it with pulse
audio.

I followed the suggestions on the video and it worked. I now have sound
with my webcam. Please note that this refers to pulse audio only.

By the way, I also have a laptop running Mint 9 Xfce. I tried the webcam
on that and it just worked. Then I found that the laptop was using Alsa
and not pulse audio!! So it seems that if you are using alsa for sound
there should not be any problems.

Thanks for the nudge about feedback. I will remember in future,

Neil
