The video works but not the sound! Help!

I have installed the webcam, and that works perfectly fine, but there is no sound, and no setup to the sound! I have plugged everything in properly.

No sound on webcam video call ONLY

You will probably need to reconfigure whatever software you are using for the video call to pull audio from the Onboard Mic from the Cam. If it is not configured to pull the audio from that Mic on the Cam, it may be looking for audio somewhere else. This is sadly an issue with a lot of Video Chat software applications.

Webcam working on macam but not skype

Maccam comes with a file called maccam.component. You must copy that file to /Libraries/Quicktime which is on your main hard disk. This enables the camera to function with quicktime and other software on the Mac besides Maccam.

Read about it here:

No sound

You will have to set the logitech webcam up to the medium you are using yahoo...msn. This is done after the software is installed.I don't use yahoo but on msn open it up then go to tools on the msn page at the top above all your contacts.Open the tools and go to webcam setup,click on it and follow the steps.This will get the mic working.It took me awhile to realize you had to do it twice once for the software setup and again to set it up to mate to MSN.
