Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 amd64 and have this webcam:
# lsusb -v
[...]
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0bda:57a4 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
[...]
iConfiguration 4 USB Camera
[...]
iFunction 5 HP 2.0MP High Definition Webcam
[...]
iInterface 5 HP 2.0MP High Definition Webcam
When I run e.g. "vlc" the webcam works as it should when I test it (Media - Open Capture Device: Video device name = /dev/video0) but when running skypeforlinux the webcam is identified as "HP 2.0MP High Definition Webcam" (which seems correct) according to Skype, but the image is black. I have tried different versions of skypeforlinux between 8.10.0.4 and 8.16.0.4 but the problem is the same. I have tried both the kernel 4.4.0-112-generic and 4.13.0-32-generic with same result. Any idea?
