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.
