Asus Webcam C3 Install

[Francisca Noggles]

Iinstalled Linux Mint 19.3 on the laptop.

Everything except for the webcam, Wi-Fi and speakers worked fine!

After some tinkering I managed to get the Wi-Fi and the speakers to work. But not the webcam!

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor I bought. Model VK278Q. The issue is that the webcam will not work properly. Various applications can see the webcam, but I just get a black box. From what I have read, the issue seems to be that there are no official drivers for the webcam.

I thought someone in this community might be able to offer some help before I return the monitor. I read somewhere that it may be possible to tweat the OS so that the iSight software will work for the monitor webcam.

I finally realized after hours of reading these forums, switching between HDMI and DVI cables, downloading various software, and testing all of the solutions provided, that the built-in webcam actually connects separately through the USB connection on the monitor. Duh!

Seems counterintuitive for a built in camera to require extra cables. I simply added a USB cable from the monitor to my 2014 mac mini (yosemite 10.10.5) then set the camera in Skype preferences to the ASUS USB2.0 camera that it recognized - And voila!

Hi there. OK another 2 steps forward and one back. Now that I loaded the software, I can record a video using the ASUS webcam. So, we now know there is no hardware issue. But, none of my applications that use webcam -- Skype, iChat, Facetime -- recognize the ASUS webcam. See screenshot of USB Vision preferences showing my live picture in the preview section...

I had no luck with that though. So either my theory is wrong or I didn't do it right.

I'm going to play some more and see what I can come up with. But by the looks of things so far, lowering the resolution seems to fix it in USBVision.

Now open the program you want to use your webcam on. Photo Booth, Skype, whatever. Select the webcam/input source in the preferences of the program as 'Cam Twist'. Then in Cam Twist click your saved setup in the 'Saved Setups' list (mine is ASUS Cam), and click the 'Select' button at the bottom. - You can also select 'Auto load' to have it load that setup every time.

Number 2 of course can be a flaw, because people can watch you through your webcam, and the only way you know if someone's doing that (for the average user) is if the light's on. So make sure you switch Cam Twist off when you're not using your webcam.

Sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately, this did not help me. CamTwist installed and I can see my image in the preview. But, it does not drive the camera in any of the apps. Boy is this frustrating.

Ummm... Just a thought, John.... With all you have tried unsuccessfully, and with ASUS's own Service Center telling you that your Mac is not supported, it seems it might be time to consider some Mac compatible hardware alternatives instead.

Hi there. OK, my words are not precise enough... My issue is that I purchased the monitor with a webcam integrated so buying a stand alone web cam defeats the whole purpose. I need to find a way to make this webcam work. So, I need a s/w solution. That is what I am asking the universe to help me figure out.

But as all of you found out it does not work. I did try USBvision trick at 320x240 and that worked. I tried CamTwist but have different result. First I don't see CamTwist as an option in the aplications webcam list but it still worked with PhotoBooth as described above by others.

I just got a Mac Mini and an Asus monitor with webcam, same problem. Camtwist didn't work nor did anything else. Just found a great app called iglasses and it worked!! With Photbooth and Facetime anyway, I don't use Skype. Still need a mic though as the webcam doesn't have one. Stupid right? anyway here is the website :

Does anyone here experienced that when they open the camera app it only shows black? As in total black. But when I tried video calls using messenger and WhatsApp the front camera works. I also tried installing camera app from playstore and the front cam works fine while the main camera is not working, showing black as the asus camera app did.

I would recommend clearing the camera cache first, you can do this by long pressing the Camera app > App info > Storage & cache > Clear cache

Try this and let me know if it works

I have done this on more than one occasion Sir. I went to Asus support and do all the troubleshooting required. Clear cache and clear storage then restart. I even restore the phone to factory settings. None of which solve the problem. I am still facing with the issue. What can I do? I downloaded 3rd party app camera. The front cam works but the main cam is all black just like what the asus camera app show in which I will attach here. My phone is still under warranty. Can I send it to the service center? Another problem is Im here in Kuwait and the phone was bought in the Philippines. Should I send it back to the Philippines service center? Thanks in advance.

i have an asus ux501vw, i tried to install nvidia driver few times, but everytime i lost my desktop and system dead! and i started again and reinstall the system..

@paulkerry i have no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 directory.. i created that and i setted BusID for that.. after reboot.. it freezed on booting step after starting graphical system i think..

i was lucky to can log into tty mode and remove that xorg.conf file and after reboot, that error gone..

What information did you use to determine that?

Please post the the systems xorg.log for the files location see Xorg#General

Please post the files you created/modified for the display manager the system uses.

Please also post the output of

There is no mention of the nvidida kernel module in the dmesg output and no kernel module is trying to use the discrete GPU so that explains why the integrated GPU is still being used.

What is the output of the following

It is recommended you update your Asus Webcam Drivers regularly in order to avoid conflicts. Driver updates will resolve any Driver conflict issues with all devices and improve the performance of your PC.

With the popularity of zoom and software using webcams, it has become more important than ever to ensure that your Asus Webcam works. Problems with Webcams can be very frustrating but there is often an easy fix.

The first thing to check is your actual web camera. Is there something blocking the camera itself? It is usually somewhere on the top of your screen. Ensure there is nothing blocking the actual camera before proceeding.

To fix your Asus Drivers problems you will need to know the particular model of the Asus Webcam device you are having problems with. Once you have the details you can search the Asus website for your drivers and, if available, download and install these drivers.

If you are unsure of whether or not you need to update your Drivers, or indeed which Drivers may need to be updated, you can run a Drivers scan using a driver update tool (you will need to pay to register this tool but usually the Drivers scan is free). This will allow you to assess your Driver needs without any commitment. Alternatively, you can use the device manager to check if there are problems with any of your hardware devices.

In many cases the answer to this is yes, however in some cases the manufacturers no longer make the Drivers available so you need to use a Driver Update Tool to install the missing Drivers. The purpose of such as tool is to save you time and effort by automatically downloading and updating the Drivers for you.

A Driver Update Program will instantly resolve your drivers problems by scanning your PC for outdated, missing or corrupt drivers, which it then automatically updates to the most compatible version.

Currently there is not a single HCL report with an i7-11370H (Tiger

Lake), which means to me it is brand new and likely not well supported

by the version of Fedora that is running in dom0. Likely not even yet

with the upcoming R4.1 release.

To me there are plenty of red flags and I would recommend you to look

for a machine that has a bit older specs. Unfortunately we do not have a

web-based query system yet for the HCL reports, but I can describe

briefly my setup so you may replicate and research yourself:

The whole reason I made this post is that I first searched on Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) and also did not find anything. so I figured that it does not get updated that often and maybe someone from the community will be able to help.

My whole problem is that I like substance AND form. Meaning, for me it is not only important that the OS is good (qubes OS), but also that the hardware and the whole overall experience is enjoyable. (think macbook)

I love the fact that it has no build-in webcam. @Alethia submitted a HCL

report with detailed install instructions just 15 days ago. And @unique

has also ordered this machine and is possibly already in the process of

installing Qubes OS on it. I assume you have seen this thread:

wow, this is exactly the experience I wished. Friendly support and fast answers.

I will chat with Alethia and unique and will probably buy the laptop this weeks or so.

then set qubes up with my friend ( he has more experience with it) and then will submit our setup experience.

There are several reasons why your Asus webcam stopped working. It could be related to privacy settings, function keys coupled to your webcam, outdated device drivers, or even antivirus programs.
