logitech C500 Webcam


My webcam will show and record video but the built in microphone won't work.
For some reason it did work once with wxCam then when I tried it with http://www.tokbox.com I could not get microphone to record again. Video seems to work in all applications.

This is a usb device. Here is the out put of lsusb:
root[phil]# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Hama Optical Mouse
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05dc:b18d Lexar Media, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0807 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:3e17 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet P1006
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Update:
I installed and tested skype voice seems to work with skype. I called my cell phone and could hear my voice but not with wxCam only video...

phil[~]$ uname -a
Linux zenwalk 2.6.30.5 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 21 11:41:31 EDT 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

wxCam is not detecting audio from web cam here is the out put of about webcam:

hi

install alsa-utils and run command alsamixer as a non-root user.

press F6 to select from a range of sound devices and arrow down and select webcam

press tab to go to capture screen.

its likely to be muted...(if facility exists) or volume too low...so raise it and press escape key.

you can test it independently
