It works fine with Linux, which is why it was a surprise to me that it was the root of the problem.

Re: Audacity won't start on Ubuntu 13.04

But according to http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/, defaria's "Cinema" version of the web cam has a bandwidth hogging problem on Linux ( http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#footnote-13 ).LeeMaiden wrote:It is a Microsoft LifeCam HD3000.
