Hi.

Try first going to Control Panel, then locating Audio Properties.

In there ensure that the default Audio Input device is set to the webcam, and that the microphone is not muted.

Test the camera Audio using Windows , or using the camera dedicated software. Many programs like Messengers, Skype etc. have their own options for Audio.
If you have the problem when using a software, ensure that the software settings are correct.

If none of the above is fixing the problem, try removing the camera from installed hardware list, disconnect camera USB, and reinstall camera drivers.
Restart computer and connect back the camera only when asked, or after reinstalling software and restarting.

Regards.

The Audio in my webcam central won't seem to work can anyone help me fix this problem when i first got my dell it seemed to work but now it doesn't and i want to record a video but the audio won't seem to...

I have a Dell 1545 with Dell web cam central & I've had this issue. The problem is that Dell web cam central installs it's own microphone settings onto your laptop called something like Dell web cam Live!. This isn't the built in microphone in my laptop & maybe not yours either. You have to change the settings for your computer system & Dell web cam central. Go to start> control panel> sound> recording .. on mine there is an option for Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" ... that is the built in mic. You want that for your default & apply it. Then open Dell web cam central & go to the "Record Video's" option. In the middle of this is an orange button with a video camera icon. Next to this on the same button is a little arrow pointing down .. click that. Under microphone .. choose Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" just like the sound option in control panel. I've done this & it's completely fixed. I can record videos with sound & use my built in mic in voice/video chat.
