bilde Hi

I use a Logitech webcam for both camera and microphone. After I managed to click disallow for my logitech webcam in input sound devices, it dissapeared and I can't get it back.

I can't pair it, I've tried to take out the port and plug it back in and I can see it disconnect and reconnect as a camera, but it still wont show up as an input device. How can I get it back?

When you choose to Disallow it removes it from the list on that main page (it disappears from the input section).

To get it back, go down to the very bottom and choose "All Sound Devices", and your logitech webcam will be in the list on that page instead where you can choose to Allow it again with the button.

Let me know if this works! Here's where to go:
