ALSA Loquitech QuickCam Pro 4000 incompatible with Motherboard AC97 Codec

[Daniel Ulfe <danielulfe gmail com>]

Hello. I have an ABIT AI7 based PC. This motherboard has Realtek
ALC658 audio codec that works properly with Fedora Core 2 AC97
compatible codec. I configue sound with "system-config-soundcard" and
test-soud works properly. When I boot with an USB Logitech QuicCam Pro
4000 connected, kudzu recognize this device (I really don't know whit
kudzu recognize up to 5 times in the same boot). Afther this boot soud
doesn't work.

I suspect this Cam has integrated mic and is detected as card0 in ALSA
and Realtek codec as a card1 and all configuration is wrong. Afther
this I try again "system-config-soundcard" but sound still doen't
work.

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0

When i boot with Cam I can see /proc/asound/card0 and /proc/asound/card1

Realtek is on card1 and I suspect that USB Mic is in card0.


If I boot without Cam connected, Realtek codec works properly again.
If I want soud I must disconnect Cam before boot.

What happens here? any clue?
