getting usb webcam microphone to work under flash

fcuk112 · 2010-03-30 19:56:18

i have a logitech quickcam 9000 pro with shuttle SP35P2 (onboard audio).

skype video conferencing works.
playing youtube videos works.

i tried tinychat or tokbox but it only detects "Linux Microphone" and not the usb webcam mic.

how do i fix this?

many thanks.

Does your camera show up when you do?

Maybe the computer/OS is not seeing it for some reason

Yes - the camera shows up:

Maybe try launching your browser with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"?
That helped me to make my webcam work in Flash.

Seems to me there is some sort of kernel module that needs to be loaded to make a usb microphone work. I think it's snd-usb-audio. Try

lsmod | grep snd

See if that module is in the list if not you might try

modprobe snd-usb-audio

i tried launching with LD_PRELOAD but my webcam mic is still not detected by flash.

snd_usb_audio is already loaded:

Is this a 32 bit system or 64? Right now flash doesn't work so good on 64bit. I know Hulu doesn't work on my 64bit, but works fine in my qemu 32bit environment. Same with my Logitech orbit webcam. If I go to a flash site and right click to give flash permission to use the camera(also built in mic) flash just freezes. It's not specific to Arch, seems widespread across all distros. Wonder if that's it???

fcuk112 · 2010-03-31 17:32:56

yes i am using Arch-64 - so i guess it's a problem with adobe?

Maybe this link would be of some help

Not sure if it will solve your problem, hasn't solved mine, but it might be worth a shot

fcuk112 · 2010-03-31 18:17:37

no, unfortunately that didn't solve my problem. i guess i'll have to wait till Adobe sorts this one out.

Arch Linux
