Asus G56JR - Webcam won't work

Hello to all, newbie here. My laptop webcam won't work. lsusb output is as follows :

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1bcf:2883 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 13d3:3362 IMC Networks Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 24ae:1100 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I have tried loading uvcvideo module, also tried adding "options uvcvideo nodrop=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf.

Output for "dmesg | grep uvc"
[   14.326623] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device ASUS USB2.0 Webcam (1bcf:2883)
[   14.346725] uvcvideo 1-7:1.0: Entity type for entity Extension 3 was not initialized!
[   14.346728] uvcvideo 1-7:1.0: Entity type for entity Processing 2 was not initialized!
[   14.346729] uvcvideo 1-7:1.0: Entity type for entity Camera 1 was not initialized!
[   14.346853] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo

After that performance in cheese webcam booth is laggy, the camera takes a while to start. Kamoso crashes on start.
I have tried stk11xx (Syntek) package as well, it does not work. The webcam cannot be initialized in opencv code as well.

vlc v4l:// :v4l-vdev="/dev/video0" :v4l-adev="/dev/audio2"
Using the above command, vlc does mirror webcam, although video is slighty laggy (some latency).
Please help, thanks.
