@Julian, I'm not sure which (GUI?) application you're talking about when you say disappeared from the mixer. However, there is indeed a problem at ALSA/kernel level with the mixer of the playstation eye, as you can see if you try to run amixer -c1 or alsamixer. As for the log, it seems like the eye is properly detected (except for the mixer error) both at startup and after plug/unplug. Can you record from it? ** Summary changed: - [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card + [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1 (playstation eye), recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1 (playstation eye), recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry - I run under KDE usually and the recording device doesn't appear in kmixer. It's quite possible that this is a KDE bug though, but having said that the other pulse devices appear fine. The emulated PSEye device also appears if I load the alsa source module in PA. It does appear fine in KDE's hardware settings though, so it seems as though it's just the mixer that's broken.

@Julian, thanks for testing. I just verified that the package in quantal indeed have a four-channel-input section: (Copy-pasted from /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile- sets/default.conf ) [Mapping analog-4-channel-input] # Alsa doesn't currently provide any better device name than hw for 4-channel # input. If this causes trouble at some point, then we will need to get a new # device name standardized in alsa. device-strings = hw:%f channel-map = aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3 priority = 1 direction = input Can you verify that your file also has this section, that you're running Ubuntu 12.10 (not 12.04), that PulseAudio is version 2.1 (pulseaudio --version), and if all this is true, also send a PulseAudio verbose log ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log ) for further analysis?

Hello, I'm posting because I've just successfully set up my PS Eye camera in Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit. Sound does still not work out of the box but it's very easy to set up. I didn't need to install anything! Here's the instructions, but check my very slight edit below: http://renatocunha.com/blog/2012/04/playstation-eye-audio-linux Only change I'd make is that you need to check the device number before running either of those commands. How to do this is in the guide under How can I know what to pass as an argument to device? and just involves reading the file /proc/asound/cards.

The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports- modules-alsa-generic...

Hi Luke, Sorry I've been trying to get the kinect to work for audio - and that's a whole other dilemma. I'd assumed it was part of libkinect (it sort of is in unstable), but in order to get it to work as a standard snd-usb- audio device you need to use kinect-audio-setup (see http://groups.google.com/group/openkinect/browse_thread/thread/97d5656f550669d5) and then run kinect-fw-upload with the extracted firmware file. Interestingly after I do this, the kinect doesn't work with pulseaudio for me, despite that patch that seems to be in the ubuntu version of pulseaudio!!

affects ubuntu/pulseaudio status confirmed Thanks for the patch, but I would feel much better if we added specific udev rules, and if necessary, new profile config files for the device(s) discussed in this thread. Unless you have the Kinect hardware, there is no way of knowing whether the default profile you created in that patch will work. In addition, adding the 4 channel profile to the default configuration file may break audio input for other hardware, which is exactly why udev rules and specific configuration files are used for specific hardware in the first place.

[Bug 886449] Re: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card
Well.. considering this was all caused by the original 4-channel profile being removed from default (according to the commit because it was thought it wasn't used) I don't think that would be an issue. I do have a kinect though and I'm willing to test it with that. The point anyway is that there are many devices out there that match this profile... at least 4 which I know of personally, so device specific profiles are not the way to go IMHO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Another thing I'd like to mention and point out is that Unity doesn't mainly use pavucontrol. It has its own Volume Control and Configuration.

Luke, I suppose I'll let you guys deal with this. You guys know more of what you're doing than I do and April isn't that far away. By the time Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin comes along I'm sure this issue will be fixed and working the same way it did in prior Ubuntu distributions. Also just for the record, I don't use Unity and I refuse to do so, so for the people who do, the fix may need to be a bit more involved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I apologize also. I did not specify which distribution I was using when I first posted this bug. I'm using LUbuntu which is apparently not supported. From what I was told the only distribution Canonical supports is any Unity based distribution. I figured issues like this can apply to any Ubuntu derivative. I do not know how the PS3 Eye works with Unity. I have not tried it and no offense but I don't plan to.

Ok, I'll bring this up with upstream, as much of this profile work has been done there. As for Unity etc, that is for other bugs if you have them. The sound preferences UI is being reworked and will be available in 12.04 shortly, as part of the general control centre. If your distribution uses GNOME 3 components of any kind, you will get thhis different UI. I should also point out that Unity is the shell and the shell only, everything else are GNOME applications, like the control center etc. Anyway, enough off-topic chatter form me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 886449] Re: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card
Ahh ok I understand now. Yeah I guess I didn't mean Unity. I meant Control Center. Using LUbuntu, I don't really have the same apps as I did when I used Ubuntu 11.04 VIA Gnome 2. Once I made the switch to lxde, certain apps changed as did the way things functioned. Once of them was in fact that pulseaudio applications like pavucontrol seem to manage LUbuntu's sound as opposed to Control Center. So I don't know if this may or may not have anything to do with how a fix might work. If the fix actually works through Control Center, who knows how it could be done. For all I know pulseaudio could even be done away with eventually. Though its unlikely. Point being that this device works rather well in Alsa without pulseaudio. It can do basic functions like record in Audacity and even record in ARecord without having to fartz around with anything. So it would all depend on how heavy 12.04 as well as its apps like skype will rely on pulseaudio or even if its worth pushing pulseaudio anymore. Seems day by day people are rather fickle with what they feel like pushing to the forefront or dealing with. Pulseaudio could fade away just as easily as it came along depending on how much Alsa can do on its own with its new releases once those come along. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 886449] Re: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card
Also I would like to mention that this bug seems to weigh heavy on pulseaudio and not ALSA. Thus far the only issue with ALSA that has been mentioned is the Alsamixer bug when trying to play with the volume for the PS3 Eye. If it hasn't been acknowledged already, this bug is a bug with pulseaudio. If pulseaudio is taken out of the equation and we don't have to depend on pulseaudio to use certain apps, this problem is hence non existent.

Luke: Thanks, for forwarding upstream. I agree - they have to decide what to do with the profile, I'd just like to make sure they know that this isn't as special a case as they seemed to think it was (with the kinect). If you need any more information on the 4-channel input devices out there let me know. Johnny: Well the bugs using the PS3 with ALSA are a problem with the snd_usb_audio kernel module itself, specifically the code for loading mixer controls.

Sorry Johnny et. al., I should have mentioned I actually got it working and provided more information.

Yeah I checked that file, that line was already in it by default. It is just odd because it seems like everything was done right yet the mic still doesn't seem to be working. You will see the meter on go up and down for maybe about 10 seconds before completely freezing and dropping out. I think it may have something to do with the hot plugging but I'm not certain.

Go to terminal and type sudo pcmanfm (or thunar or whatever file manager your Ubuntu distro is using) 3.) Browse until you get to the /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer /profile-sets folder 4.)

Move the default.conf file that you just downloaded from the folder you put it in to the /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets folder VIA drag and drop 6.) Restart your computer 7.) Leave your PS3 Eye plugged in during the entire boot process until LUbuntu/Ubuntu/XUbuntu etc. begins 8.) Unplug your camera mic and then plug it back in. 9.)

On another note, just like you had to on Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04, you need to have your mic plugged in when rebooting and starting Ubuntu. Then you must unplug it and plug it back in. Again it will seem to work as when you speak the levels will go up and down but then it will freeze. I also tested skype and its a no go unfortunately. I suppose its a start.

I now believe this is a duplicate of the following pulseaudio bug for the Kinect that was resolved with a device-specific profile: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/process_bug.cgi It results from the removal in upstream pulseaudio of the iec958-surround-40 mapping that the ps3 eye (and 4-channel mics) were using. I've commented that the kinect-specific mapping should be in the default config since there are more than a few 4-channel microphones on the market. As for the alsa-mixer/mixer errors with the ps3 eye, this seems to have been a long-standing issue and appears to be because the snd-usb-audio driver does not support microphone array devices yet. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #39664 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39664 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've discovered I can record audio from the Playstation Eye using arecord and audacity, it seems these do not fail when they can't read the mixer controls correctly. Furthermore I've been playing around with amixer, and I can list the two controls on the Playstation Eye, however trying to read one of the controls in particular results in the same error: Listing the two controls: $ amixer -c 2 controls numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Gain' numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Capture Volume' Trying to list the control contents, failing on the second control: $ amixer -c 2 contents numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Gain' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---RW-,values=2,min=0,max=255,step=0 : values=170,170 | dBscale-min=-10.00dB,step=0.05dB,mute=0 numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Capture Volume' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---R--,values=4,min=0,max=1,step=0 amixer: Control hw:2 element read error: Invalid argument Directly trying to read each control: $ amixer -c 2 cget numid=2 numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Gain' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---RW-,values=2,min=0,max=255,step=0 : values=170,170 | dBscale-min=-10.00dB,step=0.05dB,mute=0 $ amixer -c 2 cget numid=1 numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Capture Volume' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---R--,values=4,min=0,max=1,step=0 amixer: Control hw:2 element read error: Invalid argument So as you can see the alsamixer error is caused byt he Mic Capture Volume control on the Playstation Eye having a bug preventing it from being read correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I dont think that the problem has anithing to do with the interaction betwen alsa and pulseaudio, ists alsa or the kernel module, it seems that the module used with the kernel 2.x was external and from another Programmer as the module which is shipped with the kernel 3.x .

[Bug 886449] Re: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card
When using Audacity the EyeCam Microphone works just fine. In Simon listens it gets listed but the possible channels are messed up(only Output channels, non working). Also I can confirm the alsamixer error above. Maybe the error is in changes to the Module or alsa, something with the assignment of the channels. At my second PC, which runs Debian Testing, it also stoped working after the Upgrade to the 3.x Kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Eugene yes thats the exact problem I am having. Yes it did work on Ubuntu 11.04 and yes I am using a Playstation Eye Camera. It does not list anything in input devices.
