Hi list. The KDE phonon can't work properly when I plug a USB audio card (like a webcam with microphone) neither recognize my bluetooth headset.
When I used to try to use my webcam microphone, phonon got lost every time I've reboot the system. It always asked me to forget the devices, as if there were new sound cards every time the system rebooted. It also wasn't able to decide which should be the default sound card. Sometimes it guessed correctly, most the time not. Other problems: when kde had the control of a device, none application outside kde were able to use it, as skype or mplayer. The solution I found then was to disable the support from my webcam's audio card on kernel. Without the USB card support, my system get back to normal behavior and I was able to use the webcam. Of course, it was kinda extreme. So, I was wondering if use pulseaudio should fix it, but I'm not sure if it can help. What do you think? Any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance, -- João de Matos Linux User #461527
