[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

I always connect mine to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and turn motherboard off every night.

Out in California, brownouts and intentional power outages due to wildfires are just common, weekly occurences, especially this summer.

I have tested this on Zoom and its working properly as I can see the other person (in this case my tv in the other room). I have also tested this on those webcam test websites and its functioning properly. Any ideas for why its not working on facetime?

Anybody have any ideas on how to solve my facetime issue?

Anybody have any ideas on how to solve my facetime issue?

• Does the Brio work with FaceTime on a real Mac -- if you have access to one?
• Is FaceTime itself activated? Are you able to make and receive audio calls?
• Do you have a regular 1080p webcam? If so, does it work with FaceTime?

• Does the Brio work with FaceTime on a real Mac -- if you have access to one?: I just tried it and it works on a real mac
• Is FaceTime itself activated? Are you able to make and receive audio calls?: Its activated and was able to make an audio facetime call to my work phone
• Do you have a regular 1080p webcam? If so, does it work with FaceTime?: I only have the brio as webcam but it works on Zoom as mentioned prior.

I am using the HS09 USB2.0 ports and this is mapped out against the supplied USB SSDTs in this thread.

Both of you have or had a Logitech Brio 4K webcam. Did you try it with FaceTime?

I sold mine a year or two ago, and have never used FaceTime.

In other apps, I found the quality bad for what is a 4K camera, and it could be customized more in Windows. There was a glitchy app that could improve it in macOS in some cases that I can't remember the name of.

PS: I had all the same experience with a real iMac.

Upon reviewing another thread, it might be a DRM issue as mentioned below in another build thread below:

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-big-sur-on-i9-10850k-z490m-gaming-x.310679/

Perhaps something I could change in my config.plist as well? Any suggestions? I noticed that I cant watch any trailers or free episodes on AppleTV.
