Webcam Issue

GonzaA320

Few moments ago I did a "dmesg | less" because my webcam is not being recognized. The following was what the command returned:

[47867.830620] usb 5-4: New USB device found, idVendor=07ca, idProduct=313a, bcdDevice= 0.05

It's a Avermedia webcam. The weird thing is that I have a microphone and a video capture which came in a bundle with the camera, but the video capture and the microphone work flawlessly.

Please, help.

GonzaA320 doeslsusb show it listed or named? If not then driver issue?
try different ports? surf search button for 'webcams'? (similar dilemmas there)

GonzaA320 my webcam is not being recognized

GonzaA320 I have a microphone and a video capture which came in a bundle with the camera, but the video capture and the microphone work flawlessly.

GonzaA320 Solus recognizes both (video capture card and webcam) as cameras... so I can use just one of them.

We have a communication problem likely, I guess where I'm confused is you have a webcam with a mic like many of us. Solus doesn't see your webcam. But then the webcam works with the microphone and some software (?) is able to capture it just fine ("capture and mic work flawlessly.")
So now Solus is calling your mic and your camera "cameras?". So the mic doesn't work?
This entry (Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07ca:3510 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. AVerMedia AM310 USB Microphone) is a camera?
It's more likely I'm obtuse with this than you🙂

GonzaA320 You need to do lsmod and check if entry uvcvideo is binded.
uvcvideo 98304 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 20480 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 20480 1 videobuf2_vmalloc

mc 57344 5 videodev,snd_usb_audio,videobuf2_v4l2,uvcvideo,videobuf2_common
parport_pc 45056 0
and does Does lsusb -t show that uvcvideo binds to any of the interfaces of the camera?

wait a minute...Bus 005 Device 002: ID 076d:0625 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C260
...that is my webcam with a mic and a camera and a single usb plug...

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07ca:3510 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. AVerMedia AM310 USB Microphone
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 07ca:1311 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. Live Gamer MINI
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 07ca:313a AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. Live Streamer CAM 313

why would your device with a single usb plug get three entries and recognized as two devices?

brent To me looks like its detecting a driver for each of the cameras features but is not detecting the webcam
unless it uses the Live streamer cam if so I would think it would work. nutting is simple nowdays.

Axios brilliant. avermedia website has an "all in one" driver package as an unusable .exe....
...but users have made their own linux drivers at github (https://github.com/desbma/AVerMedia_A828_Linux_driver for instance) for download so OP may have solve problem with a bit of surfing maybe
