Hi,
I have a Philips SPC520NC webcam, which works fine with the linux UVC driver.
The only problem I have is to record audio using the build in
microphone. (Under Windows the microphone works well.)
I am using kernel 2.6.26 and the build in snd_usb_audio and alsa version 1.0.17.
After arround 5 seconds I am getting an "read error: I/O Error" message, and I
am getting an empty wav file (only the wav header is in there).
I have attached an lsusb -v output.
Do you need more debug output?
Any suggestion?
artem@gandalf ~/wav $ arecord -D hw:1,0 -c 1 -f S16_LE -v test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
Hardware PCM card 1 'USB Video Camera' device 0 subdevice 0
Its setup is:
stream : CAPTURE

format : S16_LE
subformat : STD
channels : 1
rate : 8000
exact rate : 8000 (8000/1)
msbits : 16

start_threshold : 1
stop_threshold : 4000
silence_threshold: 0

arecord: pcm_read:1348: read error: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
(arecord: pcm_read:1348: read error: I/O Error)
Changing the sample rate does not make any difference.
Thanks, Artem
