[Bug 1713174] Re: Camera or its microphone doesn't work

[Artiom Neganov]

I've uninstalled 16.04 because I've realized that LTS is just a silly
sticker meaning nothing practical: people from IRC (#kde) couldn't
provide any help because they're basically don't use such an old Plasma
desktop which is shipped with 16.04 - it is about two years old.

So I've installed 17.04 and re-tried all my attempts and still no any
success: camera doesn't work in the system, in Skype for example. This
is a bad thing to my mind because it worked previously on 14.04 but now
it doesn't work neither in 16.04 or 17.04.

Title:
  Camera or its microphone doesn't work

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Given:
  Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000 USB camera
  Worked without any issues on Kubuntu 14.04
  Works without any issues on Kubuntu 16.04 in vokoscreen and Audacity, it is displayed in `pavucontrol` on the Input Devices tab and the bar is animated.

  Problem:
  The camera doesn't work in the current Skype Beta 5.4, in Google Chrome, in Firefox. If a websites requests permissions to access microphone, in Firefox appears a popup with devices and there I can select the cam, but after that no sound really comes through and the LED on the cam is OFF.
