Greetings. Many models of Logitech USB webcams malfunction under Linux by producing audio that sounds distorted, garbled, or high-pitched. For most users, the problem happens randomly, and can usually be worked around by restarting the audio application or by unplugging the webcam and then plugging it back in again. The problem is described in a kernel.org bug at <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44281>. Despite eight years' worth of comments and duplicate bugs indicating that that the problem is still occurring, this report has remained closed as "resolved" since 2013. It's unclear whether any of the right developers have even seen these comments; certainly none of them have ever responded, even just to reopen the bug. A comment on one of the duplicate bugs <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203763#c1> suggests that this may be because the bug was misfiled in the v4l-dvb/webcam product, whereas it should instead have been posted to this mailing list. I'd appreciate it if one of the USB for Linux developers could take a quick look at the bug report to confirm whether it's been filed in the right place. If not, please let us know (either here or in Bugzilla) where the bug should be reported instead, and if it is indeed here on linux-usb, let us know if any further diagnostic information is required.
