Description mcisho 2009-12-05 11:41:34 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a Logitech Webcam C220, which has a built-in microphone. If the webcam is plugged in when the machine is powered on the internal audio is not detected and/or does not function. System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Hardware tab only shows the webcam device, it does not show the internal audio. If the webcam is not plugged in when the machine is powered on the internal audio is detected, functions correctly and appears on the Hardware tab. If the webcam is subsequently plugged in it also appears on the Hardware tab and functions correctly. I don't want to use the microphone in the webcam and the profile is set to Off on the Hardware tab.

Motherboard is an Asus M2N-E, lshw (edited) produces:-

I recently upgraded the machine to Fedora 13 and the same problem still exists.

Comment 2 mcisho 2010-12-16 16:55:02 UTC
I recently upgraded the machine to Fedora 14 and the problem is fixed. Thanks.

Comment 3 mcisho 2010-12-17 13:28:57 UTC
I am wrong, the problem is not completely fixed. Yesterday evening I was wondering if it had been fixed in F14 so I plugged in the webcam and re-booted the machine; result, both the internal audio and the webcam were displayed in Sound Preferences and I could play and listen to music. This morning the webcam was still plugged in when I powered on the machine; result, only the webcam was displayed in Sound Preferences and no sound is audiable.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:28:21 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
