I believe this bug was caused by this commit in the kernel:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/sound/usb/quirks-
table.h?id=48827e1d6af58f219e89c7ec08dccbca28c7694e

A patch to fix the issue was committed to the kernel 11 days ago:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/sound/usb/quirks-
table.h?id=4ee02e20893d2f9e951c7888f2284fa608ddaa35

It appears that the problem is that after the buggy original patch, the
snd-usb-audio module takes over the entire webcam and prevents the
uvcvideo driver from accessing it. No idea how long it will take Ubuntu
to bring this patch into their kernels. In the meantime, I'm assuming
you could work around it by doing something like this (with the webcam
plugged in) to force the uvcvideo driver to load first:

sudo modprobe -r snd-usb-audio
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio
