Touchpad:

 

This package provides the driver that enables the Synaptics TouchPad in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. The driver enables general touchpad functionality (for example double-tap and scroll) and provides a user interface.

There are no webcam drivers.  The webcam is USB3 powered.

 

I believe the webcam isn't working because you are probably missing the USB3 driver, which will be installed by the above AMD chipset driver.
