Question about Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 Web Camera

1 Answer

LIfe Cam VX 5000 doesnt work with Messenger/Skype

I bought a VX 5000 today at the store, and installed everything and the software that came with it "LifeCam" works just fine. It's supposed to be optimized for Windows Live Messenger, and thats my IMing software of choice - that's why I picked it up.
When I try to use it with Live Messenger, the video comes in just fine, but the audio doesn't. The microphone does not work at all, I've turned everything up.
I configured it with Live Messenger in the wizard, it showed it was working fine, but when I start up a video call, I get no audio.
I can neither hear the other person or talk into my own microphone.
Help?

  2. Then click on the Video Settings.
  3. The camera if Installed Properly will come up and show a video picture.
  4. Then, on the bottom of the page click on Save.
The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to see and her to you.

  1. Windows Live Messenger:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d78f2ff1-79ea-4066-8ba0-ddbed94864fc&displaylang=en
  1. After you start Windows Live Messenger, expand the view by clicking on the square on top left next to the red X.
  2. Then on the Windows Live messenger window on the right side, click on “ “Show Menus.” And then click on “Show the Menu Bar”.
  3. Next go to the Menu Bar on right side, click on “ “Action.”
  4. Go to “TOOLS” and click “Audio and Video Setting” and follow the instructions.
NOTE: Your audio and video should work. Enjoy.
When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope this helps. Bud
