| 810057 | 2009-09-14 05:52:00 | Hi all, I have an older PC with xp home 1.2 gb 256 ram trying to get skype working. I have got the web cam going both ways just no sound from my end.Have been into control panel record sound level not changing. iam guessing a mb fault and do i need to buy a sound card to get this working. Cheers Wayne |

If you need more boost, go back to Options,and below that will be the advanced, click that - Now under the Mic will be an advanced button, open it, Tick Mic Boost. PS: make sure the Mic is in the ( normally) pink socket. |

| 810060 | 2009-09-14 10:29:00 | Hi Speedy sorry no mic in cam but it might be less hassle to change to a web cam with a mic. | WayneMiddy (14028) | ||
| 810061 | 2009-09-14 10:33:00 | Has it got a switch / on / off button? Is it in the pink socket? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 810062 | 2009-09-14 10:43:00 | No switch and yes its in the pink socket. do they ever go faulty at a mb level? and no the socket is not damaged, supect its never been used. Thanks Wayne |
