my mic won't work on my webcam? HELP!

OK, well you could try the "Macam" driver from here:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
...it supports lots of webcams - including some generic no-name ones from Staples!
Also: does the webcam ONLY have a USB cable? No 3.5mm minijack plug as well?
What application are you trying?
If Skype... under the Skype Preferences menu, audio-visual tab: are there any choices on the microphone drop-down menu?
Under the Apple Menu: System Preferences: Sound - Input - are there any choices shown?

    Ok. So whenever I skype call someone, My mic won't work! So I have to type in the skype chat while they talk. Kind of embarrising.

  • External mic won;t work

    imovie won't record voice over using my
    Plantonics USB mic. It worked on my last project
    several months ago I've checked prefs and its selected
    input and output... I'm stumped

    Hi Terry - just guessing but are you trying to record while the movie is playing? It won't do that. You must record while the play-back is stationary.

  • Ipod classic won't work at all. Help!

    Today, my ipod has stopped working even after being able to use it earlier today. It will turn on only when connected to the wall charger (that is plugged in to an outlet) and won't connect to my mac. It flashes the apple symbol start up screen. I can only reset it when it's plugged into the charger and I can put it mannually into disk mode at that time too, but otherwise it won't work. Any help?

    Ok, I ran into this same issue of a brand new iPod Classic resetting itself continuously about once every 30 seconds, and you could hear the hard clicking sound, with each reset cycle. I had to do the following to get it to work ok.
    10 Simple Steps To Fix Your iPod That Is Stuck In A Continuous Reset Loop:
    1) While the iPod was resetting itself over and over (continuously resetting itself), press the Play/Pause button and the center select button simultaneously, for about 5 seconds, and it will display that it is now in disk mode.
    2) Start up iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPod to your computer with the USB cable.
    3) Click on the iPod in the left pane, select "Restore" to restore it to its original blank state. Follow the prompts to continue.
    4) When the computer completes the Restore update, and it displays a message saying that the iPod will disappear and reappear in iTunes in a minute, immediately disconnect the iPod (unplug it from your USB cable).
    5) On the iPod, you should see the main menu, in a few seconds. Pick a couple of settings to update for example the English language, and Eastern Time Zone (New York or Washington, DC), etc.
    6) Press and hold the Play/Pause button to power the iPod off.
    7) Re-connect the iPod to your comptuer with the USB cable.
    8) Start syncing using iTunes, as normal.
    9) All should be well.
    10) Remember to always click on Eject in iTunes, and waiting for visual confirmation, before disconnecting the iPod.
    The End. Whew!

  • Ipod won't work at all. Help Please!

    My 30 GB ipod is completely dead. it won't turn on, the computer won't recongnize it, and it won't work on a docking station. I've tried to reset it and it won't do anything. does anyone know what to do? any advice would be appreciated

    Keep trying to reset it (see instructions below) making sure you are using the hold button as part of the reset routine. Also try resetting it while cabled to the computer for power...
    Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 15-30 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo.
    Resetting isn't always effective once and you may need to retry it several times to get it to work.

  • Mic won't work with Skype on Windows installed using BootCamp Assistant?

    I recently purchased a 17" MacBook Pro in Australia. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate and updates as well using BootCamp Assistant. Everything works fine in Windows except when I downloaded and logged in to Skype and video-called one of my friends.
    I could see my friend and he could see me, but we couldn't hear each other. I beleive there is a problem with the built-in mic, which Windows doesn't recognize or doesn't have the driver for it installed. If it's a driver problem, can anyone tell me which specific driver to download? It'd make things so much easier!
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    Did you download and install the drivers? You need to download the drivers then install them from within Windows. See the Boot Camp Installation Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    Also search these forums for links to the audio drivers from the manufacturers's site.

  • Plug-in Mic won't work in SB-CS3

    Hello, all!
    I am trying to record voice-over files in SB CS3.
    I have a regular, cheap standing microphone that simply plugs into the mic jack in front of my computer.   It works for me without a problem when I'm recording in Audacity.
    But, I get nothing when I try to record a new file in SB.  I read the help section, which says that I might need to activate the mic in a panel, but for the life of me can't find that panel anywhere in my workspace or on any menu or tool bar.
    I'm fairly Adobe savvy, and can usually sort of intuit my way around work spaces.   This one has me stumped.
    Can anyone help me??
    Thanks!!
    Mary

    Follow up...
    The choices I get when I click into the preferences/settings panel for output and input are:
    Conexant HD Audio Output  :   on the output panel.
    Conexant HD Audio Input :  on the input panel.
    Those are the only items listed in these windows.   They are already "x" ed off and can't be un-"x"-ed.
    The choices for ports on the recording panel are:
    Conexant HD Audio Input-1/ Conexant HD Audio Input-2
    and
    Conexant HD Audio Input-3/Conexant HD Audio Input-3
    Them's all the choices I can find throughout.
    Thanks again.
    Mary
