Hi all. I have a PC with Fedora Core 6, and the on-board VIA 8235 sound chip is detected by ALSA. I tried connecting a Microsoft LiveCam USB webcam with built-in microphone (ID 045e:00f7) to the USB port and boot the PC. The webcam is not detected by the Video4Linux subsystem, but this is not the worst part. Now, the sound card does not work properly: every attempt of opening /dev/dsp for writing fails with "Permission denied". The kernel is the stock one (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6), there are alsa-lib- 1.0.12-2.fc6 and alsa-utils-1.0.12-3.fc6. I could not find anything suspect in dmesg's output. What else should I try (apart from disconnecting the webcam and rebooting)?
