Going to throw this damn machine out the window!
Can someone please please help me. Ive recently installed a webcam and i can get it to work no problem, skype - piece of pi** but why oh why is there now no sound coming out of the computer at all. Ive checked all the connections and the settings and i can't see what is wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions??

The camera is for video and it has a built in microphone. There is a sound card in the machine and speakers attached. What i find confusing is they did work and now they dont - go figure. It will play the start up tune bit to begin with but then nothing. I get no sound from cd's, websites, warnings or more importantly at the moment from Skype.Zathos wrote:Just a small point, but the camera would be for video.
You will need a sound card and speakers for sound.
I've checked the settings and tried plugging the speakers into one of the other outputs buts still nothing.
This is really puzzling me and i have drawn a complete blank as to what might be wrong.

Ok webcam uninstalled and sound works fine so how do i reinstall the camera without it stuffing up the sound again?? have checked the sound settings in control panel and they are what i had them set at the only difference is i had the microphone set to the webcam as that's where it is.Zathos wrote:Remove the web cam and associated software.
Try the speakers in 'original' mode to see if the falut is related to the web cam.
Good god i'm confused i'm no good at all this computer thinamygiggy stuff.

Is there an option to do a custom install rather than follow the defaults?Speedybug wrote:Ok webcam uninstalled and sound works fine so how do i reinstall the camera without it stuffing up the sound again??Zathos wrote:Remove the web cam and associated software.

Might be useful for any other girlies on here who'd like a web cam.
