Hi,

During face detection and testing, the IR Emitters don't turn on. The camera itself does, and it works fine. But both of them don't turn on at the same time. They also show up as separate devices, /dev/video0 and /dev/video2. If I select /dev/video2, the Emitters turn on but the Camera doesn't and so, it fails to detect the face.

I've checked the issues tab and saw many people had the same problem. I tried some of the fixes suggested such as setting a different resolution. I checked all resolutions that v4l2-ctl listed for both cameras, unfortunately it didn't fix the problem. I also tried running linux-enable-ir-emitter which said the IR Emitter is already enabled. I'll post some info below that might be useful.

Camera: Realtek Integrated IR Camera
Laptop: Dell Latitude 5490
Output of lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:58f6 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Integrated_Webcam_HD

Although Face Detection still seems to work, I'd appreciate if you can help me get the IR Emitters running.


Linux distribution (if applicable): Arch Linux, Kernel 6.6.10-arch1-1

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): Howdy 2.6.1
