Question GSPCA Driver


So I install the driver for my webcam. My webcam works now but my sound doesn't. DO I need to install a new driver for that? Or is it some sort of setting I need to adjust?

Hi Syed75, Welcome to LQ. Please post the output from the following:

Code:
# lspci -v | grep Audio
# lsmod | grep snd
# cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Good luck. ;-)

Please open a terminal and issue the commands listed, then post the output here.I believe you just have a sound driver problem or possibly a configuration issue, but we'll need the output from those commands to determine it.

Good luck. ;-)

My apologies, I should have been more explicit and I should have asked which distribution. Please issue the following from the terminal and post the results.

Code:
sudo lspci -v | grep Audio
sudo lsmod | grep snd
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
The # symbol should not have been copied as part of the command it was a prompt. It was listed only to show you which user should issue the commands. The # prompt indicates the root user and the $ prompt indicates a normal user.

In any event, the commands I've listed this time can be copied and pasted.

Good luck. ;-)

That's the output from the lspci command, what is the output from the other two commands?

Good luck. ;-)

Do you have sound at all? The modules are loaded you may need to set up a configuration file. See this:

Try setting up the config file as detailed in my link then check sound. If you have sound after that then we'll see what options are available in the software package your trying to use.

Good luck. ;-)
