Webcam Issues

Hello,

I have a webcam which worked on a previous installation of Manjaro, but I cannot get to work on my new installation of Arch.

The issue: cannot get video output in any application. Some applications (like Cheese and qv4l2) show errors timing out for getting properties like saturation, others (like qv4l2) just say "input/output error".

Steps I have taken:

- Followed the wiki suggestions
- Made sure my user is in the video group
- Unplug, plug the hardware
- Rebooting after ensuring all relevant kernel modules (e.g. uvcvideo) are loaded

Here is the relevant output from dmesg when I plug in the webcam:

[ 1314.099447] usb 1-3.2.2: new high-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd

Here is the output from

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --all

This is the terminal output from launching cheese (once, I get different errors on different invocations):

(cheese:29425): cheese-WARNING **: 15:13:30.813: Internal data stream error.: ../gstreamer/subprojects/gstreamer/libs/gst/base/gstbasesrc.c(3127): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin36/GstPipeWireSrc:pipewiresrc2:
streaming stopped, reason not-negotiated (-4)

This is the terminal output from using qv4l2 and setting the pixel format:

Error Sharpness (24): Connection timed out
libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Input/output error

I'm not sure how to debug this further, any advice would be welcome.
