I have a Philips ToUcam Pro webcam (PCVC 740K) chosen because I understand that it can be made to work with GNU/Linux and because of its relatively high quality.
The video immediately worked fine in Mandrake 8.2 and Suse 8.0, albeit in a small size. I'm aware an additional driver is available from www.smcc.demon.nl (http://www.smcc.demon.nl) to get a bigger video image.
I'm stuck, trying to get the inbuilt microphone to work. The above site says just compile and/or load the audio module and the microphone works. Unfortunately not for me!
I'm using Mandrake 8.2 with the ALSA sound server. I have some sound functionality e.g. at start up and shutdown of KDE but am getting nowhere with USB audio. I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1 (EMU10K1) which generally works fine. I don't believe the problem is to do with physical connections or too low settings for microphone sensitivity or speaker volume in Sound Mixer.
gnomemeeting 0.85.1 indicates "Set Audio recorder device to /dev/sound/dsp2". I wonder if this ought to be set to /dev/audio but this is not an option in the pull down list and the options cannot be overtyped.
The audio module loads successfully but I'm not sure that I'm using it and, if I'm not, I don't know how to make the mic use it.
I'm unsure if I should be concerned about the following:
localhost kernel: usbaudio: warning: found 1 of 0 logical channels.
localhost kernel: usbaudio: device 2 audiocontrolinterface has 1 input and 0 output AudioStreaming interfaces.
Can anyone help, please?
