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. 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. As for the log, it seems like the eye is properly detected (except for the mixer error) I suspect the mixer error is pertinent :) both at startup and after plug/unplug. Can you record from it?

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.

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.

Re: [Bug 886449] Re: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card
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. So we're really waiting on a pulseaudio fix on this one. -- 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

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. I had an awfully hard time following those directions on the site with the kinect link you gave and this is why I created the default.conf in the first place.

Once you'd added an appropriate 4-channel input profile whatever way you want (I've removed the kinect specific profile and added a default one since there are plenty of 4-channel mics out there), the trick is you also need to edit the default.pa configuration to manually load the module for that source by adding a line like this to /etc/pulseaudio/default.pa load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 This is obviously not a long term solution, and I'm not event sure why it's necessary, but once you do the playstation eye shows up as an input device in the gnome sound applet and you can record from it using pulseaudio.
