Was a resolution ever found? Going by the advice and queries from the last time, at the moment I have: a) Installed Skype and set C310 as video device which works perfectly. b) Made a test call on Skype, no sound. c) Checked Skype audio device options. All that is listed is PulseAudio Server (local). d) Installed PulseAudio Volume Control - only the server listed as a device. e) Installed Cheese - but that only appears to do video so didn't help diagnose the problem. f) Installed GUCView but that won't run - all I get is a busy icon which then disappears - unsure if that would help diagnose the problem anyway? g) Output from lsusb below, as you can see the C310 is there, but should it be there twice, once for the video component and also the camera?

Kind regards, Julianwhat do you get when you right click on the Sound icon (top rh near the clock)? Use Sound Settings from this menu and on the output tab you should be able to see Applications currently using sound. So open skype and make a test call .... Skype will be listed in the apps playing and recording. set the levels and or un mute.
Hi Kevin,Interesting! When I bring up the sound settings I do see the C310's microphone listed as a device, /and/ as I type the volume level is going up and down so it's picking up the input.
So, as you suggested I opened Skype at the same time and made a test call, and it worked!
I hate when that happens because a) I feel stupid now as it worked without me changing anything, and b) I won't know how to fix it if it happens again.
Anyway, thanks for the help! Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
