I had similar problems with my Creative WebCam NX Pro 2. After much
googling I found the following suggestion worked. Try plugging the camera
into a USB _1.x_ hub (or try bypassing the hub completely). Either
workaround solved the problem for me.
My camera won't initialize correctly if it's plugged into any of my USB 2
hubs (or into an add-on NEC-chipset USB2 pci card for that matter). It
seems this is a semi-common issue with webcams (not just the spca52xxx
driver). I don't know why USB transactions with a webcam would be so
touchy, but a USB hard drive runs fine a full capacity through the same USB
port...
