The labtec webcam 1200 does not have a built in microphone.

Most desktops do not have a built in microphone, with exceptions of the ones that come built into the monitor. You find that most sound cards have an input jack to connect a microphone. To be sure if your computer does or does not, the make and model of your computer would be needed to check the computer specifications.
Not necessarily. If it's a laptop it could have a built in microphone. Models that are 5 to 6 years old often had built in microphones but didn't have cameras as this was before skype. If it's a laptop you'll see a small hole, like a pin hole, in the case, near the front, which would be the microphone.
If it's a desktop the microphone plugs in to the soundcard and it's unlikely to have a built in one.
If your computer is new and doesn't have a camera then it probably doesn't have a microphone either.
Go to Control Panel to "Sound and Audio Devices" Select the Audio tab, select the device you want. Sometimes, you have to go as far as going to the Device manager (right click My Computer/Properties/device Manager) and select the microphone under the Multimedia options and disable it. This should disable the ON BOARD microphone built in. Then you can plug yours in the MIC jack.
Most laptops do have Microphones built in. I do not know for definate that your laptop does, but you can easily test it to find out.
1. Go to the volume control (double click the speaker icon near the clock on the taskbar), go to recording properties and select microphone as the recording source and set the slider to about 80%.
2. Bring up microsoft sound recorder (its in the start menu somewhere) and click record... when you speak you should see a voice print appear in the sound recorder window.
If you do not see a voiceprint, then you probably dont have a built in microphone, but if you do see a voiceprint as you speak then you do have a microphone built in and you can record into your powerpoint shows to your hearts content.
Click Start/All Programs/Accessories/Sound Recorder. Click Start Recording and talk to your computer in a normal voice. When you finish click Stop Recording. Type in a file name and click save. Open the file and play it. If it works you have a built in mike, otherwise buy yourself an external, which I recommend anyway, because the built in mikes are generally not good enough for voice recognition or VOIP.
Built-in Microphones are relatively new and my guess (without knowing your computer) is that it doenst have one. But you can glance over the area around the screen and check if there's any holes which would be indicative of a mic. Hope this helps!
