Logitech web cam

Allheart · #1 Mar 28, 2008, 01:18 AM

I just purchased the Logitech webcam (what a neat little tool). I recorded a video of me and my little dog for hubby (we miss him, he just left for work)....but there is not any sound

Is that because I don't have a mic?

If I send it, will he hear it or did it record without any audio?

I know this is a dingy question

Love,
Allheart

Hubby is a regular riot. I sent it anyway without audio and he said, "It's okay, I like it when I can't hear you

. ( he's so funny...ha ha haha)

But I am sure my sisters would want to hear me

. So I guess, I do need a mic?

Thank you in advance.

Does you cam have an inbuilt mic ?
Otherwise you will need a seperat one for audio.

Hi Curly

Probably not. I don't think so. So I just get a mic....would that be USB plug in too?

Thanks for helping

Normally they simply plug straight into your sound card (around the back where the speakers go)

on the hard drive...right?

(sorry for being so dense)

na further round the back.

should look something like this:

OR

This is where you speakers connect.
One of these will have a little mic icon by it.
That's where it goes.
