SharpSA Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 USB-C port is working good with monitors but not working with pendrives and external hdds. Is is possible to use this port for data transfering as other usb ports? I using Catalina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 16, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 16, 2019 I can certainly use external USB HDD/USB keys through the WD15 Dock connected to the USB Type-C of my 7490. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpSA Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I deleted DSDT because my 7490 didn't started with it. Could it be that the usb-c port is not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 17, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2019 Patched DSDT is irrelevant here (it's only provided to support Fn-F11/Fn-F12 brightness control). I had no patched DSDT when I 1st tested the WD15 Dock. I've no way to say whether your USB Type-C works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amthb0 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I can't boot either, if putting DSDT inside. I deleted DSDT and installed Catalina, everything seems good, USB ports in WD15 work fine, but the audio doesn't come out from the miniDP in WD15, no options for that. Internal speaker is OK, HDMI is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpSA Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 OK. But I don't have dock, I would like to use 7490's usb-c port with pendrive. Is your 7490's usb-c port working with pendrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 19, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2019 I've no USB Type-C flash drive or no adapter to test a Type A USB key directly off the USB Type-C port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amthb0 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I have USB-C flash drive and WD15, confirmed USB-C port on 7490 can work. But, the miniDP on WD15 doesn't have audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amthb0 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 @SharpSA Does your 7490 have Thunderbolt? I reproduced the issue in my 7390(has Thunderbolt). @Hervé It could be the Thunderbolt driver issue. The Thunderbold is not listed in MacOS.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2020 Got a type-C to type-A adapter and can confirm that the type-C USB port is working as expected on my non-TB 7490 with USB2/USB3 keys or USB external HDDs.
