| Post subject: | R5C7 and Logitech webcam 4000 microphone not working. |
Have had webcam working for a long time on R5A16. Did a full reinstall on same hardware to R5C7. Plugged in webcam. Was recognized "out of the box". Defined a v4l capture card type, webcam source, and a channel dedicated to the webcam. Video is recorded fine. However no audio from the microphone on the webcam. arecord -l gives : root@mythtv:/# arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH5] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 1: Intel ICH - MIC ADC [Intel ICH5 - MIC ADC] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 2: Intel ICH - MIC2 ADC [Intel ICH5 - MIC2 ADC] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 3: Intel ICH - ADC2 [Intel ICH5 - ADC2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: U0x46d0x8b2 [USB Device 0x46d:0x8b2], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 so it looks like the audio device is being recognize. Just no sound. not sure where to go from hear since Alsamixer does not seem to address the audio on the usb webcam. Thanks |

I found that when I used my webcam, you have to tell alsa which sound "card" is which and which order to use. I had to create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/sound in that I would put: Code: options snd-emu10k1 index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=1 |

Doesn't that only work at boot time? This webcam "migrates" between the myth box and a windows machine. So the webcam is not plugged in at boot time. Thanks |

If I have a channel selected in watchTV and I run the arecord -c 1 -d 30 /myth/tmp/test.wav command I get the audio from the TV program in the test.wav file. I'm at a loss. Thanks |
