[Solved] OBSBOT Meet 2 webcam doesn't reactive after suspend.

I'm trying to capture audio with my OBSBOT Meet 2 using Audacity. When first plugged in, the device functions correctly. After 2min of none use however the device 'suspends'. Afterwards it will no longer capture any audio, it seems not to wake up anymore.

The device shows up in lsusb and arecord and is not muted in alsamixer. I'm running plasma, in the sound settings the device is using 'Pro Audio'

Using a udev rule, I tried blacklisting the webcam.

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="3564", ATTR{idProduct}=="fefb", ATTR{power/control}="on", ATTR{power/autosuspend}="-1"

Still no luck. Does anybody have any ideas?

For future reverence

The OBSBOT Meet2 seems to be unable to record audio when no videostream is being captured. This appears to be encoded in the firmware of the device itself. The only  workaround is capturing a dummy stream using the following command:

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f null /dev/null

When using this workaround, audio can be captured in audacity.
