GordonGood idea. That will be the next step. I don't know anyone who uses Skype so it will have to be their test number. NeilThe test number* will tell you if you have the mike configured correctly: If you go into skype Options/Sound Devices you should be able to set the microphone to something like 'USB 2.0 Camera, USB Audio (hw:1,0)' in the ddl. I'm on as madtom1999 but you will have to email before hand as I NEVER leave it switched on. Tom te tom te tomWell. I have installed Skype and the video seems fine, but still no sound. There must be something wrong with my sound set up somewhere. I cannot pick up any sound via the webcam in guvcview, cheese or Skype. They can't all be wrong so it must be the set up somewhere. Using alsamixer I try F6 to see a list of the sound cards. One of them is 'USB Device' which I assume is the webcam. When I choose that I get the message 'This sound device does not have any playback controls'. Is this relevant?
Who knows... I don't have alsamizer on my laptop (the one with the built-in webcam) lsusb just shows the webcam, so I guess the audio hardware isn't on my USB.
My wifes PC just shows the webcam too: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270 but it has a built-in microphone which we know works... What does Skype give in the pull-down list of microphones? And I don't suppose you have a Windows PC to try it on?
