USB webcam's microphone not recognised

Freso · 2011-10-27 11:27:10

I got a dirt cheap webcam the other day, which works fine as a webcam. It says it also has a built-in mic though, but I can't get the system to see it.

The vendor:product ID is 090c:71b3, which isn't listed in usb.ids, so I realise I'm venturing out in deep water. But if anyone can help with any hints, I'll be grateful - if not, well, the cam's cheap enough for me to live with the mic not working.

(lshw doesn't seem to produce anything useful, but let me know if there's any (other) output you want/need to see.)
