I am trying to use the "cheese" program in Gnome to capture video and audio from my webcam under Fedora 9. The webcam is a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. Under Fedora 9, I have occasionally been able to capture a video but never any audio. A lot of time, it doesn't work. I have also tried using the webcam under Ubuntu 8.04. This works much better. I can capture both the video and the audio. However, I do need to crash the app to stop the video recording. Also, I did not install the webcam drivers myself. I let the cheese app install the drivers. Under Fedora, the cheese program is version 2.22.1. Under unbuntu, the version is 2.22.3. I noticed that version 2.24 is available, but I have had trouble getting this version to install. Do you think it is the version of the software? Is it the webcam driver. I do not know what driver is installed under either OS.

Mixer Settings?

Maybe it is the driver.

See output of lsmod
and

#su -c lspci--vvv

(post relevant part)

I did not find lspci under ubuntu. I did find lsmod. The results for lsmod under fedora and ubuntu are a lot different. Since it is a usb webcam, I grepped on "usb" Below are the results for each distribution

Since the webcam is usb, I also ran lsusb on fedora. Again, I didn't find this command under ubuntu. The output is more than 1,500 lines. Are you interested in seeing that?
