Bug Description
I have a webcam:
Bus 007 Device 003: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger
connected through USB and with an integrated microphone. The audio is working fine.
The video freezes in any application that I have tried (Cheese, xawtv, Google+, Skype) after a while, and restarts if I pass my hand close to it, that is if there is strong movement (if I move anything strongly farther away it also restarts for a short while and freezes).
I reported this same problem already in Natty, but I changed the USB connection from a USB hub to a direct USB connection and it started working fine, but in Oneiric it does not work even if connected directly to a USB connection (I don't know if all USB connections are the same, that is if the ones directly the computer chassis are internal Hubs).
I'm still having this issue with 12.04 Beta 2, kernel 3.2.0-21-generic.
I tried a couple of upstream kernels but I'm having a lot of issues with my NVIDIA card so I couldn't fully try. The 3.3. and 3.4 series are not compatible with the current NVIDIA module, and the latest in the 3.2 series crashed when I try to run my webcam with cheese.
