Microphone isn’t working
The cause of a Web Cam's microphone to stop working can be either a
hardware issue or a result from incorrect configurations.
Recommendations:
• Determine whether it is a hardware problem by testing the microphone in
Sound Recorder.
• We also recommend using the camera on another USB enabled system.
• If you can record sound in Sound Recorder, but not in the Webcam
application, try setting the internal microphone as the preferred device in
Audio Properties.
