I have done extensive testing - sort of like a bull rampaging in a china shop with the following results. First the operating parameters: Kernel Ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic SMP 64bit Programs gspca-1a7449833166 compiled this morning. Camera Microsoft VX 3000 web-cam/microphone combination. It has been working on and off with sound sometimes and video sometimes but not both at once. I noticed from earlier documentation that the camera driver was the sn9c102 module. On boot, the modules gspca_main and gspca_sonixj are loaded. The microphone is detected and shows up in the pulseaudio mixer with no indication of sound (i.e. the sound level bar is empty). First: - rmmod gspca_sonixj - modprobe sn9c102. - Result: There was no change in the mixer display. Second: modprobe gspca_sonixj - Result: Mixer display shows a low level of noise which jumps when I speak. Mic is working. Ta-dah! Third: - Start skype, and am able to make a test call with sound. I have gotten so tired of Test, 1, 2, 3,... that I now whistle. My wife appreciates the change. Fourth: - Enable the video in skype. Mic goes dead. Sound disappears. Fifth: - rmmod gspca_sonixj - modprobe gspca-sonixj Result: Sound is back. Of course the video is gone. I hope this can help in tracking down what is going on. Let me know if you need anything further, or if you wish for me to do any testing...
