Ubuntu Multimedia :: Microphone Disappears When Running Webcam On HP, Lucid?
May 10, 2010
I just installed ubuntu lucid x64 on an HP dv7-3065dx and even though the installation went pretty smoothly, every time I open cheese or anything else that uses the webcam, the microphone all of a sudden cuts off. It doesn't receive input. However if I use the microphone without camera then the microphone works.... Is the webcam somehow crashing the microphone?? Is there something wrong with pulseaudio? The webcam works great and is recognized as "HP Webcam".

I've been having problems setting up my microphone and webcam for internet use. I won a Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 on the internet and it doesn't work on ubuntu. I'm sure it works because I also have Windows Vista installed on my laptop and it works perfectly well when using Skype, Windows Live Messenger and even Gtalk.
This webcam model has an integrated microphone, which doesn't work either, even though it works just fine on Windows. I have tried to configure the mic, but when I test-record the sound all I can hear is just noise. I have test-recorded using a headset (which also works on Windows), but I didn't have any success, so I have to believe that I haven't configured something the way it was supposed to be or that a driver is missing.

I've just installed Ubuntu Karmic on a HP pavilion AMD 64 bit.I've a weird problem: the microphone works good, but using skype 2.1 beta, it stops working when te my webcam. Even after restarting skype, the microphone doesn't work. To make the microphone work, it seems to me that I've to reboot.

At some point i probably messed up my sound configuration, and now i cant record anymore.
What works : * I have pulseaudio, i can play sound from several apps simultaneously, eg : mpd + vlc + firefox + skype
Remarks :
* pulse-audio is as system-wide installed.
* I have installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-26-generic
* I have 1 internal sound card (on the main board) + 1 ATI graphic card with HDMI output (and thus a sound chip)
* I have 2 output-plugs (1 normal + 1 headphone)
* I have 3 inputs (2 microphones + 1 line in)
* In the past, i installed a PCI sound card, for testing. It may remains old configuration files related to it.
THE PROBLEMS :
* I can not record. In the Pulse-applet / Volume control, in the tab "recording", in the tab "input device" (i translate from french), i can choose between mic1, mic2 and line in, but none of them has any effect on the volume meter.
* In the the tab "configuration", there is no sound card listed, just the message "no car available for configuration" ... that might show that smthg is wrong ! Notice that in the past (but still under lucid), it used to work. There was here all the cards (internal + HDMI video card) listed.
Output of alsa-info.sh :

I have a Logitech Quickcam Chat webcam (USB ID 046d:092c) that's worked with my Ubuntu with minimal problems (just some nVidia driver crap) for ages now. I'm not using nVidia anymore (Intel now), but since my fresh install of Lucid, my webcam doesn't seem to capture anything. It is detected by lsusb, but when I open Cheese, the picture is just black. Skype doesn't give me any video at all, not even that annoying static or green lines. Clicking the Test button in my Skype Options undedoesn't do anything;double-clicking it gives me a full-screen grey screen - pressing Escape takes me back to the preferences window. After I get the grey full screen and press Escape, the Test button is gone until I close the Options window and open it up again.Going into gstreamer-properties and testing v4l2 (under Video -> Default Input) just shows me the 'Testing ... Click Ok to finish' window for ages until I close it - no video appears or anything and I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be seeing. Testing with the 'Test Input' option does give me the coloured lines and static. Testing v4l seems to make it crash, but no error comes up in the terminal I'm running it from.lsusb output:
Code:

I just installed skype on my F12 yesterday, the webcam I am using is a logitech C200, which has built-in microphone. I got the video working fine but not the microphone. No sound can be recorded.The same microphone works fine on my Windows 7, so at least I can eliminate hardware issue.I have never used microphone on my F12 before

I have an HP dv4 1313dx, pavilion notebook computer. The Built in webcam seems to work OK, but I have absolutely no sound registering when I speak over webchat , or over just sound recordings when I talk at the computer. I'm not sure if it's a software issue or not. I upgraded to 10.4 beta because 9.10 wouldn't let me run my wireless card. So upgrading to the new beta version solved that, but as I said I noticed the built in mic on my notebook isn't picking up any sound. This is whether I'm using Skype, sound recorder, or AMSN for webchats.

I have lucid and jack almost the way I want. I can't get apps like flash (in firefox) and rhythmbox to run through JACK. I've followed some outdated guides on the forums here, but I haven't had any luck.
I set up gstreamer to use jackaudiosink, but no luck.
If you ask me, JACK + ALSA should be the default, with maybe a simplified or automated control system for people who don't want to exploit their might
I hate having to close up a massive JACK patch just to watch a quick movie, or having to close Pidgin so JACK will start.

So I have Ubuntu Lucid machines about 20 of them. Configured via ldap authentication. I seem to be running into a rather strange logout problem. Whenever users click logout they're logged out, however after that all i get is the background screen with the cursor. The cursor is able to move, but no login screen.If i go to a terminal window alt+f1 and do a service gdm restart, then the login screen goes back to normal.

I own a "Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Ultra Vision" web cam with a microphone. I have successfully installed it, I can get fedora to recognize it and even view video through all the web cam applications I've tried including vlc, cheese, and camstreem. It was automatically detected by Fedora and took no "tweaking" of my own. The problem I'm having is I don't know how to access the audio. When I go to the pulse audio applet or volume contol (mixer) I can see my quick cam as in input, and I can even watch the audio meter move and respond to sounds I am making. But I don't know how to tell any applications where to get sound from... my video source is /dev/video0, what is my audio source? Since my audio level meter moves when i say things or make sounds, I assume it is there and ready, I just don't know how to access it. I figure this should be pretty simple. I'd like to be able to record video/audio, or even just use the mic separately.

After having fixed the video on my webcam to use it with Skype I want to use the microphone as well...
Skype offers two microphones that seem to be related to the USB webcam. I have tried both of them and with different settings in kmix where I see a tab called "usb camera" with a microphone slider and a tick box. There is also an option to use "audio gain control". no success with all possible combinations.
Then I tried to use the microphone with a small software called "flrec", no success either.

Having setup lucid lynx, I am struggling with the sound setup. Output is fine, but I can barely hear myself in Skype, after a make a test call, to listen to my own voice. The sound preferences dialog offers multiple device settings to configure, with most offering 3 mic inputs. I've maximized all of them, and yet still no change. I have to make lots of Skype calls every day. This is a Dell xps m1530 laptop.

I've just installed Unison. I created the default profile, selecting one of my subdirectories as the source. That done, the GUI disappeared, although a unison-2.32.52- process remained running. I can start another GUI session and, regardless of if I kill the old process, I can only choose my profile before the GUI disappears again. There is no opportunity to do anything else useful, such as selecting a destination directory.

My Winger has just given me a Web Cam that he got as a present, (An Asda Special, �10.00), he could not get it to work on his Vista Machine (Yes he is not enlightened yet, but he is tempted), I can access it through Cheese, choppy to say the least, probably due to the price, hence question "What is the best App for Webcams, bearing in mind it is a cheapo.

I'm really new to opensuse, and linux in general. I started using 11.2 in may and I'm still having trouble. I started it on a newly refurbished HP Pavillion. It's always seemed to run slow, freezes up when I plug in my external hard drive, won't play music on amarok or it will lag, things like that. When I run it in windows everything works fine. and it has always ran really hot and loud when in opensuse.
To make things worse, lately if I open mozilla, all the programs/windows I have open will disappear, all my tabs will disappear, all the icons on my desktop disappear and my application launcher, clock, etc, all disappear. when i manually shut it down and restart it works fine for a while. I keep trying to find things online but I've got to the point where I'm afraid to mess it up more.

I have only been using Ubuntu since shortly after Lucid was released. I am a new convert and use it to run a back-up device / media server I have a total of 5 hard drives in the device. I have the Lucid system files written to /dev/sde. I am running a Raid 1 array with mdadm on /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. I have been prepping to run a second raid 1 array with /dev/sdb and /dev/sda with the ext4 file system. I formatted /dev/sda to have a full partition of /dev/ sda1. I then went to do the same to /dev/sdb and the drive was missing from both gparted and the native disk utility. My array with sdc and sdd is still running with both drives working fine.I swapped the sata cable from sda and sdb with no change. The system will not recognize sdb no matter what I do but it does skip /dev/sdb in boot up which tells me it does see it.I have provide the output of the commands df, fdisk -l, and cat /proc/mdstat.

This is what I do:
*connect my ipod
*it appears on nautilus
*as fast as possible i run "ideviceinfo" and it shows my device no problem
*then the ipod sounds as if it was disconnected and disappears from the computer
*when i try lsusb it shows an apple inc. device
*then i try to mount it using ifuse but it doesnt work, it asks me if me device is connected, and it is
I made another user, and tried connecting it and it was completely normal, it wouldn't dismount.It's like I had something not configured right or something, because one week ago it was working right
