USB Webcam Audio Drivers picking up, but not video drivers

[exgin]

Hey everyone,

I'm new to Linux, been on Windows ever since I knew what a a computer was, this far I was able to solve alot of the compatibility errors happening when switching over to Linux Mint Cinnamon. But I'm having trouble getting my external USB webcam configured.

The Audio Drivers are being picked up (I don't use the mic on it, so It doesn't matter) with
"hwinfo --usb"

But the video drivers are not. The '/dev/video0' & a 'dev/video1' folders show up sometimes. When I run "ls -ltr /dev/video*
I'll get
*************************************************************
"ls: cannot access '/dev/video*': No such file or directory"
*************************************************************
or the folder showing up.

I tried installing cheese & gucview, but I get no device found OR I'll get "there was an error occurred, playing video from webcam". This webcam also worked on Windows.

Here's my output when I run "dmesg"

Also, when I have my webcam plugged in, it overrides all of my audio. I'd have to plug it out just to get my audio back

[kato181]

It's showing your webcam as connected.
Try this link. Click on Download and follow the commands.

cheese

or

Code: Select all

fswebcam

I get device not found.

The times where I get the " input: webcam: Fullhan Webcam as ..... " inside 'dmesg' to show up.
and when I run "cheese" I get

Code: Select all

[kato181]

Try this work around.
viewtopic.php?p=1826216
This link maybe of interest also.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236356
You could also try another usb port. You are getting weird results
Try this..
Regarding the -110 error, some folk on this thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610142 advocate disconnecting the power supply to power down the port for a while before reconnecting again. Worth a try?
This seemed to help solve the problems with others, just hope it works with yours.
What size PSU to you have? There may not be enough output to run your cam. I have a logitech 4000 webcam and it never worked in mint, then after a few kernel updates and the release of mint 20 its now working. Update your kernel to the latest version which is 5.4.0-52 mine just updated. It might or might not help you.

[exgin]

Thanks for the reply I'll try out those fixes

So, I ran this

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install uvcdynctrl

It seems to be working off and on. I'll spam "cheese" to open my webcam and keep unplugging it and it just eventually works.
