Maybe your webcam has a build in microphone and is now recognised as the
_first_ audio device. See if a sound module is loaded for it with
'/sbin/lsmod'. Maybe just a matter of the ALSA drivers shipped with 9.2
having better support for usb audio :-) If so there should be a
solution to always load the driver for your onboard sound as the first
audio device.
