Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] audio problem with QuickCam 3000 Pro

[isabel campos sol unizar es]

Hello again,

well, I got it working, but some extra things also help:

- I killed the artsd running from kde
- I loaded snd-usb-audio 

This was not enough, I still had no sound. 
Then I checked the usb modules that could be related to the usb
camera. I loaded mod_quickcam and microtek (I am no sure if both
of them are needed).

Then I went again in the configuration druid, and more devices had
pop up, namely /dev/mixer1 and /dev/dsp1 
So, I selected:
 
audio player /dev/dsp0 
audio player mixer /dev/mixer1 
audio recorder /dev/dsp1 
audio recorder /dev/mixer1

and audio test works. :)
Maybe anybody has an explanation??
