I am using the Eve 5 2-in-1 laptop from a small enthusiasts manufacturer . The device came with windows installed and the in-built camera and microphone work with this OS. But more often I use the other partition on the device - Ubuntu 20.04.2. On it the in-built camera and mic don't work (but I can use external mics from headphones). From looking in the forums of the device I found that the device doesn't have drivers for the camera and mic for Linux. Here you can see the output of my lsusb and lsusb -v commands: lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0603:00f1 Novatek Microelectronics Corp.

Are there some kind of universal drivers? Tnx
