Hello. My C920 Logitech Webcam has a slow frame rate(~2 frames per second). Does someone know how can I solve this??? (BTW My Laptop embeded camera works fine).
Hello. My C920 Logitech Webcam has a slow frame rate(~2 frames per second). Does someone know how can I solve this??? (BTW My Laptop embeded camera works fine).
Unplug the webcam, plug back in the webcam and reproduce the problem for a short while. Then post the output of the following command here:

Just in case this is the output of the command v4l-info /dev/video0(this the camera with the slow frame rate)

Could you connect it to an USB 2.0 port, if possible?
I think it was already in a usb 2.0 device??
But just in case I conected the camera in a usb device, runned "cheese" and typed sudo dmesg | tail -n30

Could be. It could be connected to a USB3.0 (XHCI) 'hub' (I think). It could be you do have USB3.0. Or it could be that XHCI is trying to drive an USB2.0 chip.Quote:

Question: Did it ever work correctly with other distributions? Did it ever work correctly with other kernel versions? Maybe you could try all USB ports, maybe some of them still are 'really' USB2.0 (for e.g. keyboards).
EDIT: Yes, it looks like an USB problem.
EDIT2: Look at the second post at the link I provided at the first edit. Seems like kernel 3.2 or 2.6.32 work.
