srcubano Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi All, I've been back and forth through forums, and am kind of at a loss, because I'm not sure where to proceed. I am currently running a Dell 6430u laptop, with Sierra. As far as I can tell everything else is working fine, but I can't get the webcam to be recognized. It was at one point working, and recognized, but I needed to do a reinstall of Sierra, and now the camera is not detected or working. I worked off of Jake Lo's Clover Guide for the set up. I ended up re-creating the key and working my way up back up from the beginning, but still to no avail. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what could be causing it not to be seen? Any info would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 31, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2018 Try adding FakePCIID & FakePCIID_XHCIMux to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 31, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2018 Webcam are internal USB connected on those laptops and will work OOB when/if supported. If the camera worked before and no longer does under Sierra, then your USB ports are probably not all recognised. Make sure you've applied the usual ACPI patches (renaming of EHCx devices to EH0x) and installed a USB injector kext. If you want further assistance, please post a zipped copy of your Clover EFI folder so that your settings can be examined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcubano Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi All, Thanks for the prompt follow ups. In ensuring this wasn't a hardware issue, I tested running ubuntu from a flash drive with this laptop, and tested the webcam. This was picked up no problem. I then proceeded with Jake Lo's suggestion in adding the following: FakePCIID & FakePCIID_XHCIMux. Unfortunately this did not seem to work. As well, based on what Hervé had stated it seem as the acpi were already renamed. However, to be on the safe side, I've attached a zip of my clover folder. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 1, 2018 Don't know if you're doing this intentionally or not but the Config shows you had change the SSDT-2 to SSDT.2 under SortedOrder SortedOrder SSDT.aml SSDT-0.aml SSDT-1.aml SSDT.2.aml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcubano Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Not intentional. When I check the patched folder, the file is definitely name SSDT-2.aml. If it is reading .2 in the string, would that affect this? How would I go about changing this or is it a matter of re-downloading the bootpack for this model laptop, and replacing that aml?

Administrators Hervé Posted April 1, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 1, 2018 Arf! You simply edit the entry in your Clover config.plist. Either through a text editor or Clover Configurator app (ACPI tab). But I don't think this is the cause of your issue because that table appears CPU power related...

srcubano Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks Hervé for that. I was able to find what Jake Lo had mentioned, and fix that with Clover Configurator. Though, it seems you were correct, this did not correct the situation, and was most likely not related. My assumption has been that there must be another kext conflicting with this from working, but as Sierra isn't even recognizing the camera in system report under camera, or usb it must be something else.In re-reading Hervé's post from earlier, I found rehabman's most current usbinjectall kext, and installed this. After a restart, the camera is now working. I have since restarted a few times, and the camera continues to work.Thanks for the help both of you. It's been greatly appreciated.
