Skype can't detect any webcam

Hi, Since I updated the newer version of skype 6.11, my video does not work anymore. When I go under options, I get the message, "skype can't detect any webcam". I have a built-in camera in my laptop using windows 7. I know my camera works, but I don't know how to make skype detect my built-in camera. So far, I can call people, I see and hear them and they can hear me, but they can't see me since I don't even have the options to put on my camera anymore. Please, can anyone help me with this issue? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled skype, but it does not work. Thank you

and also I already download last the camera driver for Windows 8 on lenovo download website there ( download.lenovo.com /express/ddfm .html )after install it with error "Not Appropriate Driver to be installed.
Please help

hi Rayman94,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
- Follow this guide on how to show hidden devices on the device manager. When done, look under Device Manager > Imaging Devices or Other Devices and see if you can now see the camera or an unknown device.
- If you now see the Camera under Imaging Devices but is grayed out, try to right click on it > choose uninstall > delete the device driver then reboot the system. After the reboot, install the Camera Driver (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Lite-on) and observe.
- If you still can't see the Camera under Imaging Devices but you see an Unknown Device, follow this guide on how to identify it. Once identified, navigate to the C:\drivers\Camera Driver (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Lite-on)\HD folder and install the appropriate driver.
- Link to picture
Let me know how it goes.

Can't detect webcam on EeePC 1025c

Laptop Asus EeePC 1025c, can't detect webcam.
No webcam at lsusb, can't find any references in dmesg, journal, lshw, rfkill, in BIOS, in /sys/.
Also, in many guides there is /sys/devices/platform/eeepc, but I have eeepc-wmi, and no "camera" there.
No camera, video or media at /dev/.
All information at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34707423/logs/index.html
Kernel - 3.5.1-1, also try on 3.2.13-1.
I remebmer, that camera works few months ago.
Maybe it phisically broken?

Alber wrote:I haven't a EeePC 1025c.
But perphaps, it is disabled in BIOS, same place that wifi or bluetooth.
Something like "onboard devices configuration"?
Actually, it looks like it is not a USB device at all. I think the OP has it working now, the camera is found by the video for Linux infrastructure.
Edit: Sorry, I became confused. I thought cookies was the OP. Sorry about that.

FMLE 3.2 and 3.1 can't detect an audio device with Windows 8.1

FMLE 3.2 and 3.1 can't detect an audio device with Windows 8.1 x64 on an MSI GT72-2QD laptop. I tried 2 different webcams but the result was the same. Both the internal mic and the ones going with the webcams work fine with other software but when I try FMLE it looks as follows:
It says that there's no audio device connected (although the mics work fine elsewhere), the dropout is blank and the audio parameters are grayed out and inactive even with the "audio" box checked. Both versions of FMLE work fine with the same cams on a desktop which has all the same tech specs but uses Win 7 x64. Running FMLE in Win7 compatibility mode or reinstalling with register cleaning doesn't help. What can be done about it?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the advice. It succeeded.
The steps I made was to make a disk copy of my original Windows XP disk using Disk Utilty. Then I renamed the disk copy into .iso. I copied the ISO file to my usb flash drive.
Than I started Parallels 7, created a new VM, selected the correct drive to install from (the usb flash drive) and volia, it worked.
Finally...

To detect USB webcam

Hi, I am trying to detect USB webcam using NI Vision Assistant but its not works ! I already installed requisite drivers for it though its not possible to acquire images using webcam.

f your goal is to work with you ltener vision first note that the programs have a cost, in any case you can use them in mode of assessment and expire over a period of time. You can perform image acquisition only drivers from VAS , but for any treatment or handling or VDM VBAI you need , plus VAS . You can download the evaluation software from the following links :
Módulo NI Vision Development https://lumen.ni.com/nicif/us/evalvisiondevmodule/content.xhtml

NI Vision Acquisition Software http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3818/lang/en
In this example, we will create a program in Labview to capture images from a USB camera to your application for further processing using the NI Vision module.

Detect possible webcam resolutions

Happy New Year to everybody!
So, I searched forums and googled and not found anything on how to detect the Webcam supported resolutions in flash.
The whole issue stems from the issue when I use Camera.getCamera() (only have one attached to my laptop) I'm always getting
different values for camera.height and camera.width. Also some 720p cams have different aspect ratio then the old cameras.
Is there possible to detect somehow what's the largets resolution is supported by a webcam? Or all possible resolutions supported?
GLTA.

hi
I´m trying to know if the webcam is 4/3 or 16/9. You know that your solution could work?
cam.setMode(64000,48000,fps);
switch (ScaleCam(cam)) {
                case 1.33: // 4/3
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("4/3"+"\n"+cam.width+"\n"+cam.height);
                    break;
                case 1.77: // 16/9
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("16/9"+"\n"+cam.width+"\n"+cam.height);
                    break;
                case 3: //
                    break;
protected function ScaleCam(cam:Camera):Number {
    var scale:Number = new Number();
    scale = cam.width/cam.height;
    scale = Number(scale.toFixed(2));
    return scale;
I haven´t got webcam HD 16/9, so can´t try this solution.
Thanks!

Detecting multiple webcams

There's a lot of old posts about this, but no solutions. Does anyone know a way to detect multiple webcams? It appears that JMF can't do this, but maybe someone has come up with another way? I'm trying to switch between 2 usb webcams.
Thanks!

What type of scanner do you have? Did it come with software or are you just using Image Capture? I've a Canon printer/scanner and use the supplied software to preview and select the item that I want to scan at any given time. Never used Image Capture before...

Skype not detecting my webcam, please reply..

Hi, I am currently using the built-in HD Webcam 101 on my laptop for Skype. This is my exact laptop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4229965&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
I've been able to use the video call perfectly fine up until this past week. Skype is not able to detect my webcam at all and on my Device Manager, my HD Webcam 101 says that it is working properly.
I've tried disabling and then enabling it. It works! But, the same issue re-occurs whenever I restart my laptop. Obviously, I don't want to keep doing that procedure just to get it working. Is there anyway you guys can help me fix this issue? It is becoming a big problem because I make a lot of business video calls over Skype. Thanks...hope I get a response asap.

Are you starting Skype automatically when you start Windows, or do you start Skype manually after Windows is already running? If you're starting Skype with Windows, try changing to letting Windows start before starting Skype to see if that makes any difference.
When Skype doesn't detect your webcam, if you click on Tools > Options > Video settings, what does it say in the "Select webcam" box? If you click on the pull down arrow next to that box, are there choices that can be selected there?
If there is nothing that can be selected in Video settings, and since you weren't having this problem up until recently, you can try recetting your Skype configuration files with this procedure:
Quit Skype. Hold the Windows key and type r. In the box that comes up type %appdata% <enter>. Scroll down to find the \Skype folder and rename it something like \Skype_old. Restart Skype.
Note: Renaming the Skype folder will move IM and call history to the renamed folder. They can be recovered with a few extra steps.
Please note: I do not respond to requests for help via Private Message.

JMFRegistry: Detect virtual webcam instead actual webcam

Hi all
I have a issue of not detecting my webcam by JMF registry.
Initially it was detected and worked fine. Recently I have installed virtual web camera.
So when I tried to capture video by JMFStudio (JMFStudio->capture) it plays the video from virtual web cam software not from my real web cam.
And under the JMF registry capture devices "vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0" was found.
Seems Virtual web cam driver doesn't change this because before installing the virtual software it was the same.
Virtual webcam software provides us an interface to change the video source and there it detects my web camera. So still I can use my web cam with JMF through this virtual web cam driver.
"I can remember that I have changed the default video source by an windows interface where it was prompt by JMF it self, it was a very simple interface having a single drop down where it carries all the capturing drivers I have installed. But not I cannot find this interface"
So can anyone please help me to get rid of this issue
Thnak You

Hi this is to answer my own question, I have found that JMF doesnot detect all the webcams(virtual or real) having same id "vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0.
So what we have to do is disable the current selected camera and start rescan of the capturing devices. Then it prompts a window to select what we want.
This is the link why we need such virtual webcam.
These are many virtual web cams which are free and works with JMF.

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:
Vendor 02h Creative Labs
Device 0008h Unknown

New Capabilities List Information :

Supports power state D
Current Power State : D0 (Device fully-operational, no power saving)
On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):
Vendor 02h Creative Labs
Device 0002h EMU0K Audio Chipset (SB Li've!)
Command 0004h (BusMaster)

New Capabilities List Information :
Power Management Capabilities

Supports power state D
Current Power State : D0 (Device fully-operational, no power saving)
(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

APPLE/DEVS Read this! Windows 7 CAN'T detect the iPhone 5s but iTunes CAN detect it! WEIRD, huh?!..

just a summary...
i have a iphone 3G which i have been using for a long time and now i got an iphone 5s.. troubleshooting this kind of stuff is not new to me from computers to smartphones.. the internet has a vast majority of information and all you need to do is type in the right "KEYWORD".. i'm that kind of guy that looks for the answer before i try to look on it on my own.. i'm a DIY kind of guy as long as there is an instruction on how to do it..
now, back to the topic..
so i was trying to copy some of my pictures on my iphone 5s to my PC for backup purposes and to see the quality of the images but the portable device doesn't show up unlike my iphone 3G which is f***ing WEIRD.. been tinkering with this over the past 5 days since i have nothing to do and testing the new features of this phone but to no avail.. searched all over the internet but still none..
so last night, i was really determined since i can't sleep and also connected my iphone 3G to my PC while the iphone 5s is connected.. so here is what shows up on my devices and printers and device manager..
i can totally see the pics on my iphone 3G but not on my iphone 5s.. totally amazing.. good job apple!
the picture under devices shows my iphone 3G and the other 2 on unspecified is my iphone 5s.. the iPhone under there is being used as my source of internet since this is tethered so i can have access and post this in here so that APPLE will know how f***ed up their SOFTWARE is is..
so i downloaded itunes a couple of times, and i can't remember how many already, i think 5 times or more and then uninstalled all apple softwares (itunes, apple application support, apple mobile device support and etc as long as there is apple in it) and then reinstalled itunes but still none..
so i went on device manager removed my iphone 3G and the only one that would show there is the Apple Mobile Device USB driver under USB controllers..
and then i uninstalled the driver, looked for the driver myself by just it doesn't show up in here where you are directed to look for the driver and oh im using 64 bit just so everyone knows and i already found out that my system is using the usbaapl64.sys file in windows>system32>drivers..
so last night i installed, reinstalled itunes and then suddenly my drive D: was gone and i received an error or a "!" on my drive and my drive is not being detected.
Error: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damage. (code 19).
i unstalled the driver in device manager and then scan hardware changes, updated the driver automatically and manually and it is saying that i have the latest hardware but i can't use my DVD drive with the error on it..
so today i searched for that e-fing error and found this http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/code-19-error.htm
"4. Uninstall Apple iTunes. While that may sound a little drastic, iTunes is the cause of enough Code 19 errors to make it into this troubleshooting.
If removing iTunes works, you might try installing it again from scratch, which doesn't always reintroduce the problem. See How to Properly Reinstall a Software Program for general advice."
so i then uninstalled my itunes, uninstalled my driver and then updated it and "walla!". i can see my DVD drive again. i am using iTunes64Setup v12.0.1.26 just so everyone knows and this setup can detect both my iphones and my iphone 5s is using the latest version which is iOS 8.1.2..
after reinstallation of itunes my DVD drive can be seen and just noticed how APPLE SOFTWARES are so ****** up.. CAUSING A LOT OF TROUBLE AND DAMAGES..
so going back to the topic..
i was able to find a way (AFTER HOW MANY HOURS of TROUBLESHOOTING) on how my iphone 5s was able to detect the portable device or should i say the images on my iphone 5s where the autoplay pops up and everything..
so i went on device manager, uninstalled apple mobile device USB driver, disconnected my iphone 5s, UNLOCKED my iphone 5s, connected it to my PC, clicked on TRUST this PC, on my PC the sound for a USB being connected sounded, and at the bottom right, automatically installed the drivers and then the autoplay popped up with the matching PORTABLE DEVICES on COMPUTER where i can browse the internal storage and the pictures..
so now i opened iTunes and BOOOM!
iTunes doesn't detect my iphone 5s but i can browse on the images on my phone..
so again i went to device manager, uninstalled the driver for apple iphone under portable devices, scanned for hardware changes, updated the driver manually by selecting drive C: so it would automatically find the correct drive..
so now, my iphone can be detected by itunes but not on my COMPUTER.. see how ****** UP this is?!.. JEEEEEEEEEZ!!
Now i finally found the SOLUTION on how to do this and vice versa.. UNTIL APPLE decides to FIX their SOFTWARE/DRIVER issues..
if you want to scan or browse the images on your iphone 5s on your computer all you need to do is do this:
[for those who don't know how to reach this part, here is a GUIDE on how to open this is: click on the device > click on update driver software > browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer]
and then you will see the screen below
click on MTP USB Device and then click on Next, after it finishes installing the drivers, your PC will automatically detect a new portable device but in order for you to access the images you need to go back on your phone, unlock it if it lock automatically and then click on "TRUST" and then you can now see the images..
BUT the problem here is that your iPhone can't be detected on iTunes...
now, if you want to go back to where your phone can be detected on itunes, just follow these steps:
click on apple mobile device USB driver, click on Next and then wait for your computer to finish the installation and then you will hear the beeping sound. check your phone, unlock it, then click on "TRUST", and then go to iTunes and you will now see your iPhone there but not on your PC where you can browse for the images..
SEE HOW THIS DRIVERS are so ****** up.. i wish i hadn't started using this ****** UP OS with all the BUGS and GLITCHES.. JEEEZ! and to think, these DEVICES are not CHEAP compared to Android devices on the market.. it's just because of how these people go with the trend that they purchase these kind of stuff and the only thing they use it for is calling or texting.. i, for once use this not for calling or texting but also for the apps that it has like the games, ebooks and etc when im bored..
i HOPE the Apple DEVS read this and find the solution on the drivers which is so ****** UP and so LAME!!
PS: i hope a lot of people who are having the same issue as what i had find this and help them with their concern even though this is not a permanent solution.. it is just a work around for folks that are looking for answers and solution.
Have a Great Day Folks and it is the start of a New Year and want to contribute something even though i don't usually posts my work around.
