I have been working had to get my usb webcam mic to work since I broke my mic and can't be bothered to by a new one yet. That and the fact I had a blackout busted up the transformer on my xbox 360 and have nothing better to do.

Thanks to: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=USB_mic_on_Linux : I have got the idea that the pc recognizes (can't spell) that my webcam has a built-in mic but alsa doesn't to realise it's there.
I made it load snd-usb-audio as card 1 and my snd-intel-hda as card 0 but apart from that I'm lost. How do you tell alsa there is a usb mic on the webcam and to use it.

Thanks for the link, hope it helps me a bit. My built in mic in my Logitech Quickcam Messenger doesn't work either, though everything looks fine, I think.

soundcore               9696  1 snd

cat /proc/asound/cards

                      Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981A at irq 21

                      USB Device 0x46d:0x8da at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, full speed


cat /proc/asound/pcm

00-03: Intel ICH - ADC2 : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - ADC2 : capture 1

00-00: Intel ICH : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 : playback 1 : capture 1
01-00: USB Audio : USB Audio : capture 1


Maybe I choose the wrong settings in VLC for recording. The only thing I get is video without sound.

I'd set

# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO

in my kernel but that seems to make the least bit of different. I might just get into one of my sound programs and see if it can see what i can't see.
