The change from 0x40 to 0x44 is applied to the GPIO register of the SN9C105 which is the bridge of the webcam. I was thinking that some values of this register could break the audio input. It does not seem so. The "bad interface" messages are printed when the audio interfaces are called by HAL for probe by the video driver. This is not an error. I will remove this message in the next version. Rebooting after installing a new version of a module is not needed. The module may be removed from memory by 'rmmod'. In your case, when updating sonixj, you just need to unplug the webcam, do "rmmod gspca_sonixj" and replug the webcam. -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/
