hello all…can I pick someone’s brains?
I have a bog-standard Creative Webcam(on which video tx/rec is excellent)however, I cannot apply audio the vids I make.
If I use the current settings there is no audio at all…if I alter the settings(and there are loads)…I get ….’recording cannot be initialized’
I can also speak over Yahoo IM with no problem.
I currently use a Dell GXPRO)with Pentium II which exceeds the required specs…but I dont think that is relevant to the prob(I hope not!)
any assistance at all will be appreciated
thanx in advance
Are you trying to use the mic that’s in the webcam (assuming there is one), or a seperate mic?
Have you checked the audio settings in Windows to adjust the volume for the mic?
Have you checked the advanced audio settings and enabled “volume boost” for the mic (might not be applicable for your sound card though)?
Which application are you using to record the video?This is an additional question rather than a reply (lol).
I have the same problem on a whitebox P4 @2ghz with 256mhz RAM, Windows XP SP1, bottom of the barrel Creative Webcam and generic mic from Staples. I have tried to use Windows Movie Maker and cannot record audio. I used the M$ audio detection util and it says my mic works fine. I have made sure that my audio input settings are at the highest (to compensate for the cheap mic) and determined the mic works by voice chatting on YM several times. I’m using the inherent sound capabilities on an AsusP4V533 MotherBoard. When I run the Movie Maker, all I get is a mild humming sound while watching the movie. Any help will be appreciated. TIA
