Bug Description

I have a Logitech Quickcam Messenger webcam with microphone. With Edgy the microphone worked perfectly. With Feisty however there's no alsa device for it. I don't know if it's alsa's fault or the kernel's. Even starting from the cd the device is missing. I'm using allways the latest kernel provided by Feisty. Please tell me if further information is needed.

Names of available sound cards:
nForce2

This is my onboard sound card. As I already told, ALSA doesn't recognize the sound device of the camera with Feisty. I had no problems using Edgy. I don't think there is a configuration problem on my computer since I booted from the installation cd and "asoundconf list" showed me only the onboard sound.

I had the same problem with my Quickcam Messenger microphone. I added an explicit USB ID entry for the Quickcam Messenger in usbquirks.h and now everything works. A patch is attached.

Hi,

Just to let you know, I created a patch which fixes the problem under
Ubuntu. The same patch may fix the problem under Gentoo, also. The problem
is with the USB audio driver. I simply added a usb device entry which
explicitly calls out the vendor and product ID's for the Quickcam Messenger.

The patch is attached to the Ubuntu bug report.

sergiom:
yes your patch works, what let me confused is this:

I've downloaded alsa 1.0.11, .12, .13 and .14rc3 and in all of these in usbquirks.h file there is no mention about 0x46d (Logitech) or 0x8f0 (our Quickcam Messanger model) so my question is: why in previous kubuntu 6.10 our webcam worked perfectly (in alsa I mean) and now not? Probably cause another patch and we have to look at this.
In other words: your patch make it back to work, but why previously worked without that part?

sergiom (sergiom-gmail) wrote :

Cimmo,

The change to usbquirks.h works, but there's probably a better fix for the
problem. This is the first time that I get into the USB code. In
usbaudio.c there is an array called usb_audio_ids. The usbquirks.h include
fills in the top part of the array. The last entry has two match flags
set: USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_INT_CLASS and USB_ID_MATCH_INT_SUBCLASS. The
interface class is USB_CLASS_AUDIO and the subclass in
USB_SUBCLASS_AUDIO_CONTROL. I interpret this entry as meaning that the usb
audio driver should for any usb device which has the matching the interface
class and subclass. The vendor ID and product ID shouldn't be taken into
account as the usb device is of USB_AUDIO_CLASS and
USB_SUBCLASS_AUDIO_CONTROL.

The quickcam messenger microphone usb device matches the class and subclass,
but it didn't work for some reason. I added the usb id entry which
explicitly calls out the vendor and product ID and then it worked. This
sort of doesn't make sense because I included the class and subclass in the
match_flags.

I would guess that there is a bug somewhere in more general usb code that is
responsible for processing the usb_device_id array. It seems like the
match_flags may not be interpreted correctly under certain conditions. I
would also guess that the problem is not related to ALSA.

I'll try to dig into this somemore when I get some time.

Please help! I am a 82 year old newbie. All I want is for my Logitech Quickcam Messenger to work with Feisty. I've never been able to get it to work with Edgy either. I must have spent at least 10 hours following various recommended installation procedures from the web, which all claim to work. But, none of them have worked for me! Could someone post a step by step sequence of actions required to make this nasty little monster with blank/black eyes come to life for me! (Note: EasyCam2 has been installed, but fails with a "Make Install' error after clicking the "starting installation" button, but it does recognize the camera (model ID 046d:08f0)

82 really? If true then my compliments.

However I haven't understood your problem: is audio, video or both? Because with this webcam I had mic and NO video in Edgy and now in Feisty I have video but NO mic, a little funny but true.
Solution to get mic back is to recompile a lot of stuff, but probably sergiom can provide to us the compiled module snd-usb-audio.ko to us that has his temporary patch.

Cimmo, thanks. Neither video or audio work for me. My suspicion is that my TV adapter card, a Hauppauge winTV2000 is in conflict with the webcam. Both appear to need /dev/video0.

now can we have a debdiff for kernel package and let it reach next kernel update for Feisty? It's the only thing we ask now.

Hi, I don't know if it will help, but I had no problem with my quickcam under feisty amd64( I plugged, it worked). The problem appears when I installed Feisty x86 32.
So, I think the 32 bits Feisty Kernel has a bug that is not present in the 64 bits version.

You need to download the kernel source code, patch it using the patch supplied here, and recompile it...search the forums for tips on how to do this if you are interested.

I have compiled new alsa 1.0.14 against kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (i386) from ubuntu and this is the new snd-usb-audio.ko module that should support all the three quickcams that have problems before, please backup your previous module so if there are problems with mine you can restore it

MD5: 98bf0aa82e913b073b54fe89d609ff81 snd-usb-audio.ko

I really don't know if this module can work with alsa present in ubutnu (that is not 1.0.14 final) but if it works then let know us here.
File should be placed into: /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/sound/usb

Hi! been lurking here for a while and this thread has been such a great help. Even though I am not a Ubuntu hard core user ,I really appreciate your work here. I have Debian sid on my Desktop PC and I do have some old edgy cd's here lying around and I tried it a bit but I kinda like the flexibility to choose my own gui. I have Fluxbox btw.

Anyway,I've been trying to fix my webcam . Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:08f6 Logitech, Inc.
I have the latest stable kernel 2.6.21.5 .I got the video to work and I also got the alsa module to load and recognize my webcam. I got alsamixer to function..

But when i try arecord..

 arecord -f cd -d 20 -D hw:1,0 test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:905: Channels count non available

I tried different variations like setting channel count itself ..same result

 arecord -c 1 -f cd -d 20 -D hw:1,0 test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:905: Channels count non available

Hope somebody can figure this out...

Cimmo,

I just tried your audio module from 2007-06-05 with alsa 1.0.13 with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (i386) ... no such luck. Anyway you could provide something for alsa 1.0.13 with the same kernel? Has anyone had the same result?

This is still an issue in Gutsy for product ID 08d9 (Quickcam IM/Connect).

I'm still a bit of a newbie, and am wary of recompiling the kernel just to fix this one little glitch. Suggestions?

Justin this bug talk about quickcam messenger not other webcams, if you have problems with yours search the appropriate bug or file a new one

Justin Vermillion (jmvermil) wrote :

It is my opinion that the Quickcam Messenger and IM/Connect use the same device drivers, and are therefore interchangeable.

Anyway, I recompiled the kernel modules with the official ALSA patch, being sure to change the product id to 08d9. After installing the new snd-usb-audio.ko, the same error message continues to be reported.
