No picture on integrated webcam in Mythos A15 notebook

I'm having a bit of trouble with my integrated webcam on my Mythos A15 notebook pc.

The webcam is recognized, and proper kernel modules are loaded, but i get no picture when testing my webcam with skype or try to capture a snapshot with mplayer.

When i try to test the webcam in Skype, it just shows a black screen, and i get the following output in terminal:

Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format
Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 32
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 280
Skype Xv: No suitable overlay format found

By running dmesg, I can see that my webcam is recognized.

dmesg | grep -i video

uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Sirius USB2.0 Camera (0ac8:3343)
input: Sirius USB2.0 Camera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/input/input8

Have anyone else had a similar problem with their integrated webcam?
And is there anybody who might have a solution to this problem?

Can it work with AMSN or Livecd ?
