Hi Amos. type cat /proc/asound/cards on the CLI (konsole) to see how your 
cards are arranged. Probably you'll see the webcam's mike as card 0. The usb 
is picked up early in the boot process, so anything usb is likely to be 
looked on by Alsa as a possible soundcard, especially if it's a usb midi 
keyboard or anything sound related. On the CLI, su to root open gedit (or 
another text editor) then go to /etc/modutils. I have a usb midi keyboard, 
and had problems with it being set as card 0. My /etc/modutils looks like 
this, as below
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1  (my audigy2 soundblaster card)
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1

Not sure about the usb mike, but this will probably set your soundcard in 
first place. Make sure you change emu10k1 for your soundcard driver. Also run 
update-modules after making changes to /etc/modutils. All the best. Nigel.
