Whenever I play back video's I've recorded (on the webcam), I get a huge amount of static/white noise. I'm not really sure if it's the microphone or the speaker.
A while ago I did something stupid and tried installing some program that was going to let me record some decent audio using the microphone already installed onto the webcam..
The whining or humming noise has been thoroughly discussed on this forum but I haven't been able to find out whether the noise impacts the recording. I'm a reporter who uses my mic input on a daily basis, so this is a HUGE deal for me. Can anyone who has experienced this microphone issue confirm whether the hum comes through in recorded audio?

The evening before i was talking with my friend on skype and then gone to sleep. When i woke up - both mic input and webcam mic weren't working. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ... Nothing like this happened before.

Webcam video itself working fine. Headphones working fine.Tried to reinstall driver - didnt work. Laptop was resting on the table, just like i left it in the evening. Have 2 different windows installed on my laptop (the another one is windows XP, not a single program installed, just drivers) - mics aren't working.
The same mic on different PC working fine.The system detects both headphones mic and webcam mic and the system shows when i'm taking headphones' mic in and out.
I noticed quite a bit of noise on my 1340. This is the 2MP camera and I had used recently a M1330 with 2MP and I do not remember any noise.
Is this normal for noise on a 2MP camera on 1340?
I have attached a picture where I covered the lens so you can see the noise on the black background.
Also what does it take to change the camera? Is it embeded with the scree and is the screen also changed with it?
Im trying to make a video using Quickplay. I can get the webcam to record .... but when I play back the video, instead of hearing the very interesting things im saying it plays the very annoying "amanda" background music.

The integrated camera works well... but I can ONLY take picture with it.
Is it possible to record some video with the camera? Do I need to install any software or driver?

I just realized that the sony recovery partition uses up 8gb of space and was wondering if there is a way to delete and merge this partition to the primary partition?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI seem to have trouble Compiling Wine on OS X.
The compilation seems to finish successfully (as far as i can tell), however i cant even run winecfg, i get lots of errors!
I've tried with version 1.20 to 1.22, one of which even said that they support Snow Leopard in the release notes, so i figure it should work for Leopard aswell?
I dont know what to do because i've never had a compilation finish successfully only to have the app fail so horribly. Had it been on linux i'm sure it would've just worked (compiled wine serveral times on linux with no problems).
Oh, i've also tried darwine, but the later versions of that doesnt work either (unless you already have the ~/.wine folder i think)
Am i missing something? Do i need to do something special before i try wine on OS X? Has anyone else tried compiling Wine? how i can get wine to run?
I just got the y510p the other day, installed windows 7 64bit and loaded it with the drivers and after installing all the windows auto updates (which tool almost a day) and now it seems that it uses around 35% of the 8gb RAM and that's with the SLI disabled and everything else shut off. What could be causing this? Looking at the task manager I could sum up a total of around 1gb being used but it still shows up as around 3gb being used....

My father’s notebook has been acting up for awhile. It beeps continuously at startup.
You would have to "F2" to the BIOS then exit the BIOS, then start up screen to come up again, beeps again repeat "F2" back to BIOS, but eventually XP would load. Unfortunately everything was sluggish, keyboard wouldn’t work right. So in my limited computer knowledge I decided to reformat the notebook. I could not find any back up disk that came with the notebook so I created a back up disk from factory settings via the Acer eRecovery Management process. I have ran this recovery disk twice. Both times I have installed the recovery disk I get NTLDR missing as well as the beeps have not gone away. From some online research beeps mean computer is telling us something is wrong with the hardware. Number of beeps tells what specifically; unfortunately I can’t find what continuous beeping means. NTLDR missing I found usually means that the computer is looking in the wrong place for the file.
I have no idea what I should do next to resolve the problem. Should I go out and buy an OME copy of XP Pro. Will friends XP Pro disks work as long as I use the XP Key found on the bottom of my laptop? How can i figure what hardware is causing the notebook to beep?
Ideally what I would like to achieve is a clean install with the most limited amount of Acer bloat ware installed. I am trying to find a list of what programs are needed and what programs are bloatware.
if I could get Dell Webcam Center for my HP DV5Z-1000. If it is possible, I would like to know how.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA few days before I was going to shipping my Studio 15 off. I looked in the box and low and behold I found the Dell Webcam Center disk that I originally thought that Dell had forgotten to include.
Upon installation I found that the specific version of Dell WC that came with my Studio 15 is not the same one that you find at the downloads center on support.dell.com.
I could never get the downloaded Dell WC to work, even after numerous chats with technical support. No matter how many times I contacted Dell about this, they claimed there is only one version of Dell Webcam Center. Clearly that isn't true .....
I can't seem to get my headset to work with the M1530. I believe that I changed the settings for the sound inputs etc to get the headset to work with EVE, but now I'm trying to get it to work with CounterStrike Source. But I can get anything. I'm plugging it into the front mic port as it's a non-USB headset. I know the headset works as I've tested it on my PC. I'm pretty sure that it's simply a settings issue and that the port itself is fine.
I've tried reinstalling the sigmatel software but it didn't help.
I can't find anything allowing me to turn it back on anywhere. It's as if Vista doesn't detect it even being plugged in. Where should I start looking for an option to turn it back on or reinstall it? I have looked and looked and can't figure this out
View 4 Replies View Related2 days before (on Vista) I was able to use the front audio panel. I was able to use headset with microphone.
Now I can only use headphones becasue W7 is not picking up anything, even though I have set it in Sigmatel control panel to be microphone.
I recently installed Windows 7 on my Vostro 1510. Audio works great but the internal mic does not seem to work or be detected in Windows 7.
How can I fix it or/and reinstall the drivers?
I'm having trouble using the built in microphone with programs like Steam, Skype, and other online multiplayer games.
It worked just fine in Vista, but now the microphone is overly sensitive and cases feedback at every volume level.
I'm using the driver that Windows 7 automatically installed. Anyone have an idea?
I recently did a hard drive format to install Windows 7 64-bit and since then the integrated array mic on my M1530 has not worked. I am not sure but I believe the integrated mic is run by the sound driver.
I have tried to update my sound driver from the standard Microsoft High Definition Audio one to the Sigma Tel on the Dell drivers website but when I but when I try to install it says "Object not present please restart system and try again."
I have tried this countless times now and have tried uninstalling the MS driver before installing the new one but after restarting Windows automatically re-installs the High Definition Audio.
I always use a headset when I need a mic, so I want to basically disable the internal mic but I can't figure it out.
I'm running WinXP with the sigmaTel drivers on my M1530
Im trying to record some audio using my new Vostro 1510 but I can't seem to select the internal microphone and it allows me use the 3.5mm plug with a external microphone.
I think the microphone is left to the webcam
But there is no selection in the Sound settings.
Tried in Skype, WLM, etc. It worked fine in Vista basic. I upgraded to ultimate and it doesnt work .....
I would need a driver for the internal microphone on my Studio XPS 1640.
I am using Windows XP though.
So the mic on my TT was working under Windows 7 the other day. But now I notice today that it is not working at all. The built in mic isn't even showing, nor is a plug in mic to the mic port
View 4 Replies View RelatedNo matter what I do it will not take a microphone. The mic is working, I plugged it into an amp. It can't be the connector as I just got a new one today and tried it on the Aux input of a headphone amp.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I remember having this trouble before. I can't even seen to access "line in" as an option when recording anymore either. What's going on? I need to record some stuff and I can't use the crappy in built mic for that.
When I speak through Skype, my microphone is buzzing, and I sound like an old radio or something. But when I pull the AC out, my voice 100% clear with no buzzing! I can't figure out why. I have checked the settings, but there are no changes at all?
I have tried to update to all kind of Realtek drivers, and I have done several system recoveries -
On MBP 13 inch there is only one Headphone output. Normally on other laptops have a microphone input to record audio.
Is the Microphone input possible in MBP 13, since it does not have a Mic In port?
I need to record lectures in my online classroom and would need to put in a Aux In cable from the online classroom PC to my laptop. Any ideas how that is possible using MBP 13?
I thought it would be a good idea to flash the BIOS (latest version A24) before reinstalling Windows, but after doing that and installing Windows the on board mic isn't detected anymore! headphone jack, built-in speaker, work but the mic doesn't work. it worked right before doing the BIOS flash.
to remedy this I reset BIOS settings to Default, enabled and disabled Mic in BIOS settings, installed Dell Audio drivers instead of generic Windows drivers. nothing works.  in fact in BIOS diagnostic tests says Webcam/mic board not detected.
I was testing out my microphone and I noticed that the sound is really staticy. I figure its some electrcal interference coming from somewhere. I muted every other sound input and changed physical locations. But the recordings I make sound like old staticy records.
I also turned down the record level down to 40 and boost level of the mic to 0dB but it will won't go away.
This must be one of the biggest design flaws ever. My VAIO has a built-in camera & microphone (just like most VAIO's I'm sure)... anyway, here's the issue:
The microphone is always active and is constantly feeding whatever sound it picks up directly to my speakers. For instance: Every time I close my laptop (as one normally does multiple times a day to make it enter sleep),
the microphone lays against the bottom case and picks up the electronic resonance from the internal components and then sends this horrid noise through my speakers, creating the most ear piercingly awful and embarrassing sound that lasts until the computer goes to sleep.....
