In-built microphone and camera problems

Hello,
I have an HP Pavillion DV7 Notebook, S/N [Edited for Personal Information] and product number QG704EA#B1A, running Win7 Home Premium. Some days ago I was obliged to run the recovery procedure. Everything was going well for some days until I tried to communicate again with Skype and found out that although I was receiving sound and video from the calling persons, they were not able to hear me or see me.
I tried to fix the problem with Skype settings but I am receiving always the messages that my built-in microphone and camera are not found/recognised. I looked at control panel/System and confirmed that CyberLink WebCam Virtual Driver (6.0.5600.0 dated 11/1/2010) and IDT High Definition Audio CODEC (6.10.6329.0 dated 11/3/2011) are working properly. I even uninstalled them and reinstalled using HP Recovery Manager but still no solution.
Could you please give me some advice?
Thanks in advance

Hello gematz.
I see that you're having an issue with mic/camera in skype. I will try to help you with this.
Are you having an issue with these in any other program?
As you've already reinstalled the drivers with Recovery Manager, I would suggest trying to update them next. You can use the HP Support Assistant to do this: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).  
If that fails to resolve the issue, then you may want to give the following documents a read through.
No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7) - does provide steps for general sound issues
Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7)
If these are working fine during testing or in other programs, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling skype.
Please let me know how this goes for you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Dv7-6059eo, microphone and camera not working, have re-installed the system, updated drivers etc.

    Hello. A couple of days ago, my microphone and camera suddenly stopped working. When I started up my camera in Skype, it said "Please open YouCam" or something like that, and when I did, it told me to update it. So I did. Then it told me that I had to uninstall the current version of YouCam. When I did and tried to install the update, it said something like "no video device detected".
    After updating drivers and un-/installing things, I recovered my whole computer to fabric options. Still not working. So I suspect that it might have something to do with the hardware. Although I don't know what should have caused it, as it just happened randomly in the middle of the day.

    Try the User Tip suggestions first.  Your system does need a plist, but a properly working OS X automatically generates any needed plist files when you launch the associated app (if its plist does not already exist.)

  • Microphone and camera translation not optional

    I've added permissions for use of the camera and microphone, but the app wont let me select them. Any ideas as to why?

    I used the Windows key with the "i" key from within the app to open the options menu on which I then selected permissions and made sure that the app had the relevent permissions for the microphone and camera. I also made sure that I had no other
    programs open that were using the camera or mic. It's not that the microphone isn't working, the app won't let me select it.
    I am using the app om a Windows 8.1 laptop and whilst I have little use for the camera translation the microphone translation would be rather useful. The microphone works fine with other Metro apps like Sound recorder and Skype and also in desktop apps.

  • Display and camera problems... related?

    Dear Folks of Apple Support Communities.
    Recently i have started to experience a rather disturbing issues with my screen, and that made me remember of the problems with the camera.
    I have MBP retina early 2013 and. well, it is known fact that screens on this particular model are not exactly brilliant... The same could be said about the camera, which has simply tuns of blue noise! But the screen was acting pretty Ok for some time now, there always was a minor image retention, but as i had nowhere to fix this, i had to live with it. But recently the screen started to turn GREEN! Yes that emerald shade, almost like cartoon green!!! That happened to it once before, but was not so intense, well at least i was able to see something... But the other day i was completely blown away, when i turned on my mac and i sew bright-bright green screen with absolutely no picture... Why does this happen to a £2000 product i have no clue! Now it has an uneven colour (the bottom corners are blueish, and the sides are somewhat darker).
    Is there some way to resolve it? Or should i ask for the screen replacement (and the camera with it as well)?
    I will be in Glasgow starting from september, so i will have an Apple store near by... i just don't want this to happen anymore, it is really scary.
    Many thanks . Anna.

    You should not be having those type of problems on a brand new Mac.  Did you call AppleCare about this?  If not why not?  
    You have 90 days of free phone tech support from Apple on top of your one year warranty.  Strongly suggest that you use it before you lose it!  You already missed your 14 day from the date of purchase to return your MBP for a refund or an exchange.

  • My 808 got screen and camera problems. I need new ...

    My 808 got so many problem..the camera did not working well and the screen has problem..
    The camera problem when recording the video, i used to use touch to focus, but the when listen to the video the weird sound was produced while i focused on something..the screen has problem when looked at the dark pictures especially on grey colour...it was not the noises but it the screen problem..

    I bought this phone for the camera, if the camera didn't working well, what the point i bought this phone..
    Please one again Nokia, I NEED THE NEW REPLACEMENT..

    @Rafi808
    Have you installed any third party applications to account for the sound of the continuous auto focus (CAF) mechanism?
    You probably need to visit Nokia Care facility so that device can be reset to "factory settings" and completely re-install device software, before pointing towards hardware issue with camera module itself.

  • IN-built microphone and USB keyboard

    Help! I am a new user of Garageband. Much to my surprise I managed to connect my keyboard (Roland RD700sx) to the USB port of my MacBook. But when I record I also get input from the in-built microphone. How do I stop this?

    the mic could only record if you've got a "real" track record enabled, and the keyboard can only be recorded if you have a "software" track enabled. don't create or enable a real track

  • Built in isight camera problem

    I use isight with skype and until today with no problems. The image is out of focus and I assume that the problem arose since the latest software update. I tried ichat with the same result. I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve the problem.

    You're welcome, dp0941
    Note: In all cases below, I am discussing your iSight's focus of your image. If your problem is that the image from your video contacts is soft, you have a different problem.
    If you have tried all the suggestions offered above, I can think of two remaining possibilities.
    (1) First possibility: Your iSight's focus of your image looks good to you in Skype's and iChat's video previews before you connect with anyone, but it looks soft when you connect with a contact.
    If this is the case, you both should Check your Broadband Speed. At least one of you may need more available bandwidth.
    Also, if you are running more than one application when using video, you should quit all applications and launch ONLY your video chat application. Then start video and see if your results are better.
    After you have found and corrected your problem, you can try launching another app after you have established your video connection to see if video degrades. If necessary, you can adjust your chat technique based on what you find.
    (2) Another possibility: Your iSight video is soft even in video preview windows.
    You can test to try to determine whether your Mac may have a problem.
    First, make sure you have plenty of light. Best quality video requires more light than normal room lighting.
    When you are ready to test, quit all applications. iSight can only be operated by software applications, but high-quality video is processor intensive. Therefore, to remove as many variables as possible, you should launch only the application you are using for the test.
    Make a high-contrast focus target as suggested in the focus test section of How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional.
    The actual testing method described in this link is for External iSights. External iSight has an auto-focus mechanism, while built-in iSight is a fixed-focus camera. Therefore, you will need to test differently. Here are the steps I suggest:(a) Mount or position the test target so that it holds very still in the field of view of your iSight at a distance of about one foot.
    Carefully inspect the image in your video preview window and note how soft the focus appears.
    (I would make video snapshots of the images at each test distance for comparison purposes, but you may be able to find your answers without the snapshots.)
    (b) Move the test target out to about one-and-a-half feet from your iSight and repeat the careful image inspection.
    (c) Repeat the process at two, two-and-a-half, and three feet.
    (d) Repeat all the above with both iChat and Skype to see whether the problem is application dependent.
    (e) If you have not already tested to determine whether the problem is user dependent, repeat the tests in a different user account.You should be able to find the optimum focus distance for your iSight with this test. To send the best picture to your video contacts, position yourself at approximately the optimum distance while you video chatting.
    If all test results are similar and/or all are too soft, your Mac likely has a problem. In that case, unless you get better suggestions here, I think you should contact your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.

  • Request to use microphone and camera's

    Please help
    each time I access a site to use a webcam ad microphone, I get the pop up message requesting the site to use the devices ..the option to allow or deny the use of the devices . I have changed the settings to allow these sites access but as soon as I close the browser and re-open it, the sites are removed from settings and I need to re-enter the site names again ? why does this happen? It reverts back to "please ask me" , and not "allow" which I had previously changed it to so I don't keep getting that pop up request? I recently downloaded both flash player 32-bit and 64-bit to use in my WIndows 7 64-bit but in Firefox v 20 which I beleive is 32-bit? Could that be the cause of the error?

    Did you allow these sites to use cam/mic from the Flash Player Settings Manager (Control Panel)?

  • Microphone and camera support roadmap?

    Hi,
    I've been working on a design project at my university and we'd love to use Java FX.
    However, we need microphone support, and preferably camera as well.
    I know it's not supported right now, but will this be supported in the future?
    When would this be?
    Thanks,
    Ivan

    This is the related issue tracker: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-3458 "Camera and Microphone"
    It is scheduled for Lombard with the initial Java 8/JavaFX 8 release (which has general availability in September, 2013).
    I don't think there have been no check-ins related to it on the JavaFX 8 branch, so (IMO) there is high probability that the feature will be cut from the JavaFX 8 branch.
    In the meantime there is a sample open source project which integrates JavaFX and the LTI-Civil video capture library, which you could try if you wished:

  • CS4 and camera problem

    I recently installed Creative Suite CS4 on my computer (Windows XP Professional). Yesterday I used Bridge for the first time to sort
    through images. Today I could not download photos, My Canon Power Shot SD 800 IS camera is showing up in all the right places on the computer. Windows says the driver is working properly and "the device is working properly", etc. but yet the EOS utility to download photos into "My Pictures" will not open and the sign that comes up is "the computer cannot locate the camera". Is this a CS4 problem? driver problem? Windows problem?
    I read through googling that there was a problem with cameras on CS3. Is this a repeat?
    Anyone have this situation? Sure would be greatful for any suggestions as I really cannot go out and buy a new camera just now.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Phone Microphone and Bluetooth Problem

    When my Lumia 800 connects to my car handsfree kit I am unable to use the phones own microphone to use any voice control features such as dialling and message creation. Is this an issue with the phone or an issue with windows phone? I ask as I am able to use the microphone on my work iPhone and Nokia N8 whilst it is connected to the handsfree kit and its quite frustrating that my I can't with my windows phone.

    I can confirm this problem. As I understand WP doesn't handle voice control at all for the moment.
    Other issues I'm facing with Lumia and my Car Handsfree:
    When turning off ignition, ongoing calls are ended. Not switching over to handset.
    Streaming music to Car HF is not working
    As You've also noted: Theese issues are not there using iPhone.
    Hope this will be addressed in a update soon.
    Nokia: Are you aware of theese compability issues with Bluetooth?

  • Lumiere HD, JVC Decks and cameras, problems problems...

    Hi Folks,
    I am trying to get an HDV film, [mercifully a short] into FCP.
    Oh saints alive how I wish I wasn't!
    Here is the problem:
    Shot at 25p on the GY-HD100e camera, I have raw footage and a JVC BR-HD50 deck [on loan], I have purchased Lumiere HD and the beta codec which supports my equipment and footage and [supposedly] aid the transport into FCP, which at present, does not support PAL 720p at 25p.
    Trouble is, Lumiere does not show my device under device control, not really a problem but slightly worrying. The device is working fine, connected by firewire and controllable from Lumiere. Although, press play in Lumiere and no picture, timecode ticks away but no view of the footage. Not good. At all.
    I have four tapes with about 100 takes on each tape, I cannot bulk capture the whole tape, tried it and on the demuxing stage Lumiere crashed very quickly and they advise no more than 28 Minute captures as the sound starts to drift [apparently].
    Can anyone advise a course of action, prefarably one which isn't going to cost my poor, beleagured producer any more money. We are over budget and used his credit card to buy Lumiere and hey, he doesn't know it won't work {yet]!!!
    I am indeed desperate, your thought will be most appreciated.

  • Photo app and camera problems.

    Since upgrading my iphone 3Gs to iOS 5, photos are very blurry and save on top of each other, and the camera app crashes. Ive restored it twice to no avail. Any idea whats going on?

    Don't know exactly what's going on.  However, when you restored your device, did you restore from backup, or as NEW?  If you've been restoring from backup, you're restoring corrupted software over and over.  You need to restore your phone as a NEW device and set it up from scratch.
