You might want to provide more info, particularly the hardware, software and things tried.

Skype is upside down the fix I know of is "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype"

"options snd-hda-intel model=auto" is what i know to add in alsa_base.conf but I don't have that in my modprobe.d directory

Re: [SOLVED] Webcam is upside down and headphone jacks arent working

"options snd-hda-intel model=auto" is what i know to add in alsa_base.conf but I don't have that in my modprobe.d directory

Thanks! I have this problem too and I didn't even know how to debug it :D. Try `sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=auto`.

Easiest way to make it permament would be to add "modprobe snd-hda-intel model=auto" to /etc/rc.local. The right way is to append "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (but I'm not sure about that, you need to check it). You may have to add /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to FILES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate initcpio with `mkinitcpio -p kernel26` to make it work, I'm not sure about that too.

edit: This upside-down video bug is here because in few asus laptops models webcam is mounted upside down (http://www.google.pl/search?q=site:vip. … pside+down). To fix this in skype you need lib32-v4l-utils if you are on x86_64 or v4l-utils if you are on i686. For x86_64:

pacman -S multilib/lib32-v4l-utils
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

For i686:

pacman -S v4l-utils
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Re: [SOLVED] Webcam is upside down and headphone jacks arent working

Just thought I'd add this info for anyone else who reads this

#x86_64: pacman -S multilib/lib32-v4l-utils  
#i686: pacman -S v4l-utils  

create a bash script to load it automatically

!#/bin/bash

x86_64: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype &
i686: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype &

exit 0

name it what ever you want besides skype. I use "skyp" then save it to desktop

then

 sudo mv /home/"username"/Desktop/"name of file" /usr/local/bin

after which you must mark excecutable

 sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/"name of file"

when done open console and type in the name
