conexant cx25843 - xceive xc5000 failure (as what I've heard conexant laid off people in that area years ago while xceive (see their driver changelog if you have access to it) tried to fix it with their firmware but didn't succeed), it also happens with windows. Those screenshots are taken from a videoclip it was of course a big problem for business customers (almost all of them happily switched away from it) This is the same retail hardware as everyone else uses out there. XS FM is not being sold anymore. I only know one company in Ireland still sticking with it, also in terms of videoquality I'd avoid that combination.
