[SOLVED] WebCam Not Detected

I have a fresh Archlinux install. And facing a little bit of trouble as the webcam is not being detcted or not installed.
I am on a "lenovo ideapad yoga 500 14ihw" and on the driver page on the official website. The WebCam is identified as (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Liton).

Re: [SOLVED] WebCam Not Detected

A quick search showed that

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 174f:14e6 Syntek 

is your web cam
There is a driver in the AUR for Syntek.  You might give it a try

ewaller@turing ~ 1011 %pacaur -Ss syntek
aur/stk11xx-svn 107-3 (0, 0.00)
    Syntek DC-1125 Camera Driver (integrated camera in Asus laptops)

Re: [SOLVED] WebCam Not Detected

It's probably the USB Syntek device , try running modprobe uvcvideo .

if that doesn't help,post lsusb -t & lsusb -v   output.
