    Hello everbody,

    The webcam it self worked right away, however.

    The microphone that came with it doesnt work at all...
    And i dont understand, i plugged it in the right spot ;p

    And i'm fairly sure it isnt on mute... any idea what i am doing wrong?

    Thanks alot

    Right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar and
    select Recording Devices. In an empty area of the Recording window, right click
    and check both "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices".
    Highlight your web cam microphone and press the Set Default button. Use the
    Configure and Properties buttons to set up your microphone.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your fast reply!
    sadly i didnt got it to work, when i did what u told me to do it only show's 1
    Mircrophone /ine, from SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC.
    That is alrdy on Default
    And doesnt even show my webcam micrphone
    Even though i installed the webcam with a cd

    Sorry to being annoying but i really would like this to get working.
    Also a strange thing is, when i test to see if my mic works on msn.
    When i plug it in, it give;s me 1 green spike and then it go's death?

    I was wondering if it was possible that when they build my laptop they
    forgot to plug in a wire or something, people told me thats not very uncommen

    Anyhow thanks again!

    Ike

    Are you sure you have the latest Vista drivers for the web cam?

    Is this a Microsoft web cam?

    Your CD drivers may be outdated. If it is a Microsoft web cam, UNINSTALL the old
    drivers and go here for the latest drivers:

    Wait a minute...Is this a laptop with a built in webcam?

    Then you would need to download and install Vista drivers from the laptop
    manufacturer.

    heya again,

    Nono i bought the laptop and the webcam apart
    THe webcam is from Creative ( but it is made for Windows Vista )and the
    drivers are up to date.

    I just notice something on msn though.

    U you know where u can set up your micophone, where u see this bar ( gets
    green if u talk ) well for me it just get a tiny bit green, so not sure why
    that is.

    I think some how the volume of my mic is really low and i need to boost it (
    thats what i think, ) i just have no idea how ;p

    Re: trouble with Live!Cam Vitsa IM

    I would still check the Creative site to confirm you have the latest drivers:

    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/

    In the Recording Devices window, highlight the microphone entry for the web cam,
    press the Properties button, check the Levels tab and adjust any sliders and
    check any Boost level check boxes.

    Re: trouble with Live!Cam Vitsa IM

    Did you right click in the Recording window and check both "Show Disconnected
    Devices" and "Show Disabled Devices"?

    The Sigma Tel microphone entry is for the microphone input for your built-in
    Sigma Tel audio adapter's microphone input and should work with any external
    desktop microphone
