you mean the most recent? I don't know - it looks like there is no solution though as even in later 5.6 similar issues are reported. The latest stable kernel is 5.10.5 https://www.kernel.org/ Better think of subscribing some kernel list and asking there for instructions. I would patch/compile the latest kernel nice make -j`nproc` bindeb-pkg https://wiki.debian.org/BuildADebianKernelPackage I am not authorized by any entity to tell you what to do - may be there are better ideas around. I just remember struggling with similar issue years ago. You either 1. get your hands dirty (means you debug and probably solve the issue yourself) 2. get into alliance with the kernel guys (if you are lucky to find someone to help do the dirty work for or with you - chances are good as it seems they are working on that) 3. let the kernel guys do the dirty work (follow the commits on the uvcvideo) and just test and keep what is good for you https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111291#c20 here the guy says it was working with pre v4 kernel. May be try some liveCD/USB. I'm just wondering why one would want to have a spy cam on his notebook working. In the company everybody glue something on the webcam or painted it with permanent black. At home - audio is off and the webcam is fully covered as well. ... but in the case it is your privacy matter.
