how to setup webcam on Hp Pavillion dv6

Asked by Devon Moyer

I recently made the giant leap to Ubuntu from Windows. I failed to check the certified hardware list. It turns out my HP Pavillion DV6 is not in that list. Therefore all my drivers aside of USB do not work. No webcam or audio. Please help!

The rule here is to split grouped question to simple one so we try to answer to webcam issue here...

Please install the cheese package then try to use it to check if your webcam is working

To made you audio working please ask a new question from here:
