I got a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000, the cam itself is working as it honors the UVC spec.

This fancy WebCam has a integrated mic which worked some time before but now, it does no more. (Note: I use pulseaudio as it is a USB Mic and I am not really keen on the hassle of ALSA setup)

Things I check already are if it gets detected at all:

$ lsusb |grep Logi
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0809 Logitech, Inc. Webcam Pro 9000

is muted in alsa-mixer - not the case, volume at 100

pavucontrol shows it too, but no input level bar!

enter image description here

On top of that, if I open the gnome3 (fallback mode) audio panel(from the desktop panel), and disabel/reenable it in the hardware tab, it works "for some time"...

Any hints? Any ideas? I am really out options for now, and the fact it worked like 6 months ago (perfectly) makes it no better.

You could compile the concerned modules using module-assistant (assuming you're running something debian-based): sudo m-a a-i alsa qc-usb. You need module-assistant and build-essential to be installed. – nodiscc Jul 14 '11 at 12:39
unfortunatly not - I am happy with Arch (almost prefectly) – drahnr Jul 14 '11 at 13:03

Resolution: Unknown. State: Fixed.

I stopped using skype entirely and I also did a reset of all config files related to pulseaudio and upgraded flashplayer and upgraded gnome to 3.x. Some of these changes did the trick.
