Internal mic and webcam

[ars0nboi]

I have a Dell XPS 15. I can't get my internal mic or webcam to work. I current use fydeOS 6.0, nocture, and kip. Is there a recomment configuration that will allow for mic and/or webcam to work? Any suggestions.

well webcam works. How can I get mic to work, is there a way to add the pid to a file to get it to work?

For me it's the opposite... webcam doesn't work. Mic does work.

Use Arnold's Special 72 as chromium. Fyde doesn't work properly (I tried).

Dell Inspiron 5558: ATB R74 Special + Eve recovery + swtpm.rar = camera works in Chrome, but microphone - doesn't

[ars0nboi]

I can't even get ATB R74 Special to work chromify on Dell XPS 9560 4k version. Chromified FydeOS works just fine , granted the internal mic doesn't work.

@ars0nboi have you tried using the kefka image instead of Eve?

This project has been great to me. Been running "Chrome OS" as my main machine now for over a year. Went from Dell Latitude 7440 -> 7450 -> 7470 with this and it all works great.

I got my internal mic working with the following fix:

• Open up the crosh shell, and then go to the real shell with "shell".

From my self-notes for Dell Latitude notebooks (you should experiment on your own to find the right combination):

alsamixer --card=0

move capture to "internal" by tab to [Capture], using the left and right to move between the settings, and hitting space bar when the red is at "internal mic". That turns on the internal microphone of the laptop.

Also, in alsamixer, you can swtich between the devices by pressing the S key to switch to the Realtek "Card" so we can switch the actual card to the right card.

===

From my best guess, what happens is that there's the underlying "linux" side of the drivers in the kernel that alsamixer is dealing with with the above command. Chromium then does a virtual device that attaches to the base device. However, the Realtek drivers supports the multitude of inputs on these laptops, so the default might not be set at the "internal mic" that's built in. And since you can't control the raw device through the Chromium virtual device, you're stuck.

Let me know if anyone finds this contribution worthwhile.
