Logitech WebCam 9000 USB Mic

[dmac]

I replaced my Ubuntu 9.04 ALSA and PulseAudio with the current oss-v4.2 build. So far the sound playback is far superior to my experiences with ALSA and PulseAudio. However, I can not figure out how to make my Logitech 9000 USB WebCam microphone record. I've set the System Preferences Sound Preferences to OSS4 - HD Audio play pcm and OSS4 - USB sound device rec. I've experimented with the volume sliders in ossxmix. However, when I try to record using Ekiga, Gnome Sound Recorder,... the sound is not recorded.

Any suggestions on how to make the webcam mic record sound?

Thanks,

USB record often doesn't work with the oss_usb driver.. There was some hackish methods to make it work (I sometimes use this diff and build from source. There were some other ideas too before the forum crash). See if you've got an "altsetting" option in the usb mixer, and try changing it and seeing if recording works.

I applied this practical solution to the problem:

Thanks igor I'm going to go check out those microphones now. I also thought that the logitech 9000 would record sound too but I've had nothing but aggro with it. Waste of money in my opinion.

Do you think you can really grow penis faster?

Is any news about support for microphone on usb sound card?
I try to use patch on 2.4.2005 but get only "feature write error -32" in dmesg and "SNDCTL_MIX_WRITE: Broken pipe" when use ossxmix.

Usually when something of that nature occurs, it’s due to the drivers. You should consider reinstalling the drivers or trying generic drivers.
