hello,
i`ve recently installed mandrake linux 10.1 community and i can`t hear anything using my intel on-board sound card while my web-cam in plugged to the usb. after i unplug it it works ok.
the web-cam (came from asus bundled with my graphic card) has an attached microphone on it so perhaps this couses the problem.
apparently the web-cam blocks the access to the sound card device in some way (driver or i don`t know what...), so how can i neutralize the usage of the web-cam to solve this probelm? or maybe this can be solved in some other way?
on the hardware list it shows the web-cam as an unkown device so i didn`t find a way to configure it.

system: mandrake 10.1 community, mother-board intel D865PERL, processor (if it matters) intel 2.8Ghz HT.

thanks
