I have acquired a new Aukey webcam to use with my Ubunty computer.
Whenever I use it with my lights on, the video keeps flickering. I have done some research, obviously this is linked to the frequency of the power lines in my country (50Hz in France).
However, none of the fixes I found make any difference to the situation
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Returns
Synaptics RMI4 Touch Sensor (rmi4:rmi4-00.fn54):
/dev/v4l-touch0
Aukey-PC-LM1E Camera: Aukey-PC- (usb-0000:00:14.0-2):
/dev/video2
/dev/video3
Integrated Camera: Integrated C (usb-0000:00:14.0-8):
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
And
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video2 --get-ctrl=power_line_frequency
Returns 1, as it should. Changing it to any other value (as documented in this question) doesn't make any difference.
But when I change the brightness using v4l2, I can see the difference so the changes seem to be applied...
I have no idea what elese I can do
If that is relevant, I am using an external monitor.
