The device with ID VID_0C45&PID_627B is an older chipset. When Microsoft released Windows 10, the generic Windows Camera drivers often failed to initialize the specific JPEG decompression logic used by this Sonix chipset.
On macOS, the situation is most dire because Apple deprecated many USB video APIs. A patched solution comes from the sane-airscan or macam legacy project. You need to: usb vid 0c45 pid 627b rev 0100 patched

Modern Windows versions require digitally signed drivers. Older Microdia drivers often lack these, requiring a "patched" installer or a manual override of driver signature enforcement. A patched solution comes from the sane-airscan or
Historically, Microdia webcams (often identified as "U-CAM" or "Sonix PC Camera") have faced significant support hurdles. The transition from legacy USB standards to modern driver architectures frequently left these devices unrecognized or non-functional, manifesting as "No Camera Attached" errors. Linux Mint The Problem : Many of these devices rely on the SN9C201 or SN9C105 controller
Check if the module is loaded using lsmod | grep gspca . If it's missing, you may need to install the v4l-utils package or apply a community-developed patch to your kernel source.
