Hello:
I know believe i had the same frustration as you..Infact I read about
your situation while trying to find a solution for mine.
one of the things that bothered me is that when i used the set-up
wizard everything worked fine. and whan i did an Audio meeting
everything still worked fine. but when i wanted to do a video
conference i was not putting out any Audio and there was a red circle
that was crossed out where the adjustment for my Mic volume was.
well this was driving me nuts also.
so I switched Webcams with the person that i was having a video
conference with. Guess what...he now had the same problem.
O.K. the problem has to be with the camera? NOPE IT'S NOT
Let me explain.. the camera that was putting out sound was a Old lower
priced Creative webcam that had the Mic as part of the camera.
the Webcam that gave problems was a "Creative Go Live!" webcam, where
the Mic pluged into the soundcard and the camera goes to the USB.
So i researched some of the camera websites for issues and found that
the software that comes with the camera needs to be configured for
"audio" in order to function properly with MSN Meeting.
here's the Link for what I found
http://dmzweb3.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=760,E=0000000000100488539,K=9980,Sxi=0,Kb=ww_english_add,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com/,Case=obj(7067)
And here's how I did the repair.
>First make sure that ALL OTHER PROGRAMS ARE CLOSED.
>goto "start"-"Programs"-"Creative"-"Creative webcam"-"Creative webcam
center"
>On the top tool bar select "TOOLS"-SETTINGS".
>Select the "CAPTURE" tab on the settings screen that you just opened
>Select "Video Capture" in the left column.
>Now on the right side of the settings screen you should see options
for audio settings. "Include Audio", "Audio Device", "Audio Compressor"
& "Audio Format"
>My setting choices for each setting were as follows:
>checked the box for "Include Audio"
>chose the port that the Mic is pluged into for the webcam for "Audio
Device".
>Chose PCM for "Audio Compressor"
>Chose 44,100Hz for "Audio Format"
> after I made the settings I verified that i was able to "Capture" a
video with audio useing the "Web Cam Center". after I my test capture
was successful. I closed the program than opened MSN Meeting and MSN
Meeting worked properly.
>Good Luck and I hope that this helps you as it helped me.
