Have you checked that the microphone is unmuted? Does your card have multiple options for the microphone port (line-in as well as mic)? Have you adjusted the microphone volume? These are all issues I have had with the microphone on my webcam. The drivers which matter are the soundcard drivers if you are plugging the microphone into it, so I am 99.99% sure it will work with the current setup, once you find the correct combination of settings for the sound card. Good luck with it, Rob. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
