I just tested it with an Ubuntu 12.04 VM and both the camera and the microphone worked. Just a note, that in order to use the camera you have to enable it under Devices, Webcams. No such requirement for the microphone.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
