Ive got a web cam with built in microphone i can hear them but they cant hear me. Its not working

You probably need to re download the drivers for the webcam.
Go to Packard bell website and look for the model of your computer
and download the drivers.
Note: You don't need Norton it's a waste of money and not very protective.

I use Superantispyware and Avast both free and I'm an IT support specialist.

You're on a laptop and it's talking about a sound card?

If you can hear audio or the voice from the caller then you don't need a sound card.

Yes you can purchase an external mic and it just plugs into the mic port on your system. I think that might be why the caller can't hear you. All computers do not come with a built in microphone. And if you are skyping and using a web cam, all web cams don't have a built in microphone.

Hi there!

This web cam comes with a built in microphone.

You can check the wire connection and see if there is any problem. If it is OK, then try re-installing the software both for the webcam and microphone.

I have a Dell 1545 with Dell web cam central & I've had this issue. The problem is that Dell web cam central installs it's own microphone settings onto your laptop called something like Dell web cam Live!. This isn't the built in microphone in my laptop & maybe not yours either. You have to change the settings for your computer system & Dell web cam central. Go to start> control panel> sound> recording .. on mine there is an option for Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" ... that is the built in mic. You want that for your default & apply it. Then open Dell web cam central & go to the "Record Video's" option. In the middle of this is an orange button with a video camera icon. Next to this on the same button is a little arrow pointing down .. click that. Under microphone .. choose Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" just like the sound option in control panel. I've done this & it's completely fixed. I can record videos with sound & use my built in mic in voice/video chat.

Device Manager and fine sound video and game controles open that and see if you have them installed look for a yello flag if non the are u=in and all you need is practice turning on the sound and video .

When you bought it, did you check to make sure it has a microphone built in? Also, do you have the microphone volume turned up loud enough?

If your webcam has not got a built-in microphone then you need to purchase a separate microphone or you could go back to the shop and swap it for one that has one :)

on your desk to you should have an icon that says life cam or web cam..click on it so you get the web cam going u should see yourself...at the right where the x is to close program there is an arrow that points down click on that it will bring u to what it says a list of things u can do for your web cam. you will see audio and video settings click that then you will see microphone webcam etc. click next it will bring u to a screen with speakers you want to use click play sound then next .you will come to a screen that says microphone select by clicking on the little arrow and pick the one that is the one your using ,the name of your web cam this should get your voice or sound for your web cam hope this helps

No, you don't need to do anything more. That should do it. Logitech also has a webcam with a built in mic that would work for you as well.

Cheers

Normal 0 Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and Click on Sounds, Click on Audio, then Click on the Microphone. Then Click on the drop down and select Camera Microphone.
Click OK and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud
