There are a number of Ubuntu users that have not had any success if the Dell forums are anything to go by. I haven't seen this difficulty with Windows, however. The only problems that appear to be unresolved are on W7 (beta this and that). I have not been successful on a VMware virtual XP on Linux, but that's not too surprising. There is a posting on the Mac forums that indicate that the device itself may be a re-badged Creative with an Omnivsion chipset: Creative Labs webcam monitor Device : 05a9:2649 OmniVision Monitor Webcam UVC =3 Model : OA002 This was apparently from the Dell driver support. I don't know if this helps,but I suspect that the camera is similar to the Sony PS3 Eye because it uses the OV538 controller chip that appears to be what that camera is based on: http://www.ovt.com/products/ip_detail.php?id=9 where the specs state that the chip supports audio input for full audio/video operation. I think the sensor is a OV2640. This jives with what lsusb reports. There is a Creative WebCam Live! Ultra that may be the essential camera device in a Dell form factor, but I can't get the chip specs directly for that camera. However, this jives very well with its age, and the Windows webcam software app that accompanies the monitor is clearly Creative Labs software. I don't know if any of this helps, but I'm at least reasonably sure of the chipset and direct audio output. I'm certainly not a device driver developer, but willing to assist as much as I possibly can. If one of the many cameras that do work uses this chipset, then it may not be too difficult to hack up a fix.

Dell does not support Ubuntu at all, Dell just sells computers with Ubuntu on them and sells support contracts from Canonical. On the Dell forums people have specifically asked Dell about it and they basically say "the microphone is not linux compatible, try asking the ubuntu forums for help, maybe someone can figure it out"... despite the fact that it will let you order this monitor along with an Ubuntu computer. FWIW the microphones do not work on Mac OS X without commercial third-party drivers, and there have been numerous posts by Windows users who are having problems getting the microphones to work on XP/Vista as well.

It appears to be a problem with the usb-audio driver.

I posted to this list a while back and got no reply. Someone else has a similar Dell monitor with a similar microphone and also posted to this list being unable to get it working. So it appears these microphones do not work with ALSA at the moment. If there's any way for us to help some developers to support this, I would be happy to give any information required.

[Alsa-user] DELL SP2309W Monitor with Integrated microphone
I am having difficulty getting the microphone(s) going with this monitor, and get the get the following results when I disable pulseaudio and run arecord: "arecord -v -f cd -D plughw:0 file.wav Recording WAVE 'file.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2135:(snd1_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable arecord: set_params:939: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available" To disable p/a, I selected alsa in all sound prefs. The ALSA webcam driver is also selected for "sound capture". I then did "sudo killall pulseaudio" as well as "pulseaudio -k" for root (sudo) and normal user. A file.wav was not created. The same results when testing with p/a. I have tried several fixes via googling - module loading and sound "card" indexing via alsa.base modprobe file and LOTS of others. Still no luck. I am running FC10 with pulse, but think it's probably a snd-usb-audio problem as the driver appears to be correctly loading and the webcam is clearly indicated in the sound prefs app and gconf/gstreamer. I have run thru the usb audio device classes, and all of the reported class values reported via lsusb -v seem to correctly correspond to possible values from the audio class parameters. I'm now stumped. I also get the following errors in the gnome sound recorder: "Could not negotiate format" followed by "Could not get/set settings from/on resource.". This jives with the error on tesing from the sound preference panel: "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not get/set settings from/on resource." ...which does not reveal anything specific enough to track down the problem from searching the net. All other sound devices and services are performing correctly via pulseaudio. I have at one time removed p/a, but this did not correct the problem. I am running the webcam mic as device 0, but changing that to any other device number fails to solve the problem. Alsamixer shows the card "Monitor Webcam" mic, the chip "USB mixer", the recording levels at 74, the capture enabled, and the AGC and loudness parameters enabled, and although I have tried various combinations of these, none have worked. I am running version 1.0.19 of the alsa drivers, and compiled these directly with all everything enabled as well as using the rpm builds. Alsainfo output has been uploaded to: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=803829378929c58bcc86351c091719a12c79075e The video portion of the camera functions entirely correctly via uvc and v4l, but the audio listing from the video test app gucveiw does not list the webcam mic at all under the audio device list. The uvc dev group sent me here, naturally. I also tried the alsa-dev list (as did another user with the same problem), but have not had much response. ANY help would be much appreciated.
