 |

I enabled this driver in the kernel. I'm able to use the webcam in Firefox for video, but the mic apparently doesn't work. I enabled the snd-usb-audio driver as an attempt to enable the mic. I can confirm that it's loaded from the output of lsmod:

I have both a controlC0 and controlC1 in /dev/snd. In amixer, I can switch between my primary sound card and "USB Device 0x46d:0x8ad", which wasn't there before I enabled the snd-usb-audio module. There's only one control available, and I can only set it to on or off. There's no volume slider. Here's the output of arecord -l:

I'm testing this in Blue Jeans because that's what my company uses. If there's an easier way to test, maybe by cutting out the web browser, that'd be cool. |

I found the volume slider in alsamixer for the webcam by pressing F4. I turned that all the way up and tried recording with arecord, but on playback there is no sound other than static.
I also found another mic that plugs into one of the ports on my sound card, but it doesn't seem to be working either. There are several more controls with sliders for this device in alsamixer labeled "Line in", "Mic", "Phone" and "Aux". I have each of these turned all the way up. Finally, there are controls without sliders that can be set to one of the following options:
Analog Source
- Phone
- Mic
- Line in
- Aux
Digital Source
- IEC958 out
- i2s mixer out
- IEC958 in
- i2s in
- AC97 in
- SRC out
Shared Mic/Line
- Line in
- Mic in
I've been experimenting with these but I'm not sure what I'm doing. I discovered that if I change the "Shared Mic/Line" to "Mic in", I the speakers act as an amplifier for the mic, so apparently the mic works.

| ok, quick question, but did you make sure it is NOT muted in alsamixer? Sound devices tend to be muted by default, so you need to remember to unmute them. |

Yes, all volume sliders are turned all the way up.
One other thing. When using arecord I get an error that I don't understand:
| Code: |
$ arecord -d 10 test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
overrun!!! (at least 0.065 ms long)
|
Not sure if relevant.
