Recently I have been trying to get the sound working on a Thinkpad I have been lent (I think it's a T20) in Debian GNU/Linux.
I did
sudo alsaconf
but it couldn't find my card so I ran
lspci -vv
and found
00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)
Subsystem: IBM Device 0153
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Getting webcams to work with GNU/Linux is generally a complete nightmare, as a result of different chipsets in the same model, and some working in a vastly different way to others.
However, I was elated a few days ago when I found that my 8 pound, generic, bottom of the range, unbranded webcam worked with GNU/Linux.
I intend to outline I have no idea whether the details of how I got it working. This is is intended to be helpful to someone trying to set their M6323 webcam up or a different Generic webcam, so I'll try and go into as much detail as possible.
