I found alsamixer works better than kmix when it comes to adjusting the capture levels on the mic. I can record from a nominal "non-USB" plugged in external mic. I have 1.0.21 of alsa installed on my PC, and I played for about 20 minutes with many different mixer settings, and I did not succeed in recording from the USB mic. Some times one needs to boot with the USB mic plugged in the USB port, in order for the mic to be recognized better. My experience from exchanging emails with friends, and reading posts on this forum, is with openSUSE-11.0 and 11.1, is the hotplug auto mounting of USB mics does not work well. ![]() Take a look especially at the bottom of that page. Subsequently she gave the webcam to me, and I've only used the webcam video aspects.īut to possibly help, here is a page with some possible ideas: I recall years ago, when I first purchased it, my wife had the mic working under Windoze, but its recording was a major source of irritation back then (as Windoze was constantly giving her unwanted feedback), so she disabled it in Windoze. # r0Vg.RYfHXvQAHX5:82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio ControllerĬode: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0471:0311 Philips PCVC740K ToUcam Pro I don't recall ever having the Phillip's web cam internal mic working under Linux. !!-Mixer controls for card 1 Ĭard hw:1 'Webcam'/'Philips CE Philips SPC 1000NC Webcam at usb-0000:00:1d.7-3, high speed'Ĭapabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joinedĪ.8.1 To show the usb mixer, the philips webcam, i have to start I can start alsamixer, then the usb is not shown. Here I see the effect if I start alsamixer. The mixer ICH7 does NOT show a slider for the Webcam microphone. If I select the 'mixer' Philips SPC 1000NC Webcam, I have only one slider, the adjustment of microphone. They are not 'merged' So in the Intel mixer, I can only select the analog microphone jack input's, and the volume settings of the output device. I can set mixer settings for a Intel ICH7, and Philips SPC 1000NC Webcam. There I think is the origin of the problem.

This does not give an error, but since there is no microphone connected to the soundcard, this is not possible to record a sound. In particular, pay attention to the need to run in a terminal, and talk into and test your mic: To me it seems a problem with a usb 'mixer' and a normal sound card mixer in one system.ĭoes anybody know how to set the record level of this usb webcam microphone to a usable lever ? I am not sure this has anything to do with being a webcam. I tryed on a laptop with older suse version and a desktop with suse 11.0. However the microphone is useless, if the sound level is that low, and not be able to make it higher. The video works, and the microphone also works from technical point of view. With skype it seems to give a signal, but very low. With alsamixer -c1 (1 for the philips webcam mixer) I can change the level, but when exit and reopen the mixer gui, it is always on 0. I can select two mixers in kmix, but it seems to be interpreted as two different mixers. The only thing I don't seem to get working is the microphone. Hello, I have a 'working' Philips webcam on Suse Linux.
