Hi, A few days ago I got a Dell SP2309W monitor. It has a built in webcam and microphone. The video part of the webcam works fine, but I'm unable to get audio through the usual apps such as Skype (I have a Logitech webcam that also uses usb-audio and it works fine). cat /proc/asound/cards shows: 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xefff0000 irq 21 1 [Webcam ]: USB-Audio - Monitor Webcam OmniVision Technologies, Inc.538-2640-08.09.09.1 Monitor Webcam at usb-0000:00: 0 is obviously my onboard sound, which is working and has always worked fine. So, it appears to be detected at least. Furthermore, "alsamixer -c 1" shows input volume controls for this card. So I'm not sure why it isn't working. Before checking if it's a problem in the application, I wanted to check to be sure it's really working (or merely detected). What's the suggested way of verifying that recording input from this device is working? lsusb -vv for this device is located at http://pastebin.com/f4c340014 /proc/asound/version shows "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18rc3". I'm using linux kernel 2.6.28 with the gentoo patch set. If there is any other info needed or any suggestion of what I can try next I'd appreciate it. I've googled and tried everything I can think of. The other webcam just worked without any trouble.
