It just doesn't work on cheese.

:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:075d Microsoft Corp. LifeCam Cinema
From dmesg
, when re-connecting the cammera:

and on dmesg
, when opening cheese:
[ 2283.440820] xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.0: ERROR: unexpected command completion code 0x11.
[ 2283.440830] usb 3-1: Not enough bandwidth for altsetting 6
On cheese I see the following error (yes, I know, not very ilustrative):
There was an error playing video from the webcam
I read that the problem may be that the webcam requests too much bandwidth, but to be honest my knowledge of USB and cameras in general is null, and I can't find any work around.
The camera has a microphone on it as well. Not sure if is relevant. Having only the camera working is good enough, but of course I would like to have the microphone working as well.
