DELL Inspiron 1525 laptop Built IN camera does not work

i think your audio drivers has not installed so first installe the audio drivers through dell audio drivers website.

your Dell us under warranty. Go to Dell.com and work through the prompts to get them to honor your warranty and fix your microphone.

Open My Computer.
Double click on USB video device in Scanners and Camera option.
See if your built in camera works.
If you have not finished a install related to webcam, you may reinstall it.

Uninstall and reinstall the audio drivers. That should fix it. Also check in Audio/Sound properties in Control panel under Recording and check if the Array mic is detected and set as default. Try downloading "http://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/R171786.exe"

go to dell's website. give them the service tag on the bottom of your laptop. Then look for drivers for your cam. Unfortunately this is a common problem with laptops with built in web cams

Have you checked to see whether the correct settings have been selected for the microphone in the Control Panel>Hardware>Audio Devices page? Once you see which driver works (i.e., which one responds to your voice), right-click and set that as the default. Or you can try to set up the Speech Recognition program under All Programs>Accessories>Ease of Access, and try the different microphone settings till the onboard one responds to your voice. Perhaps the SigmaTel driver has been updated since you bought the laptop--go to the Dell Download site and download the sound driver for it, see if one of these helps!

my dell inspirion 1525 microphone is not working. when i am on yahoo messenger i hear the other person but they can't hear me unlike before i use to hear the othe person because there is an in built mic.

Did you check the settings in control panel under sound and audio devices. Check if you have selected the correct hardware, if the volume settings are correct. Let me know if it solves the problem

You will need an external MIC, this system has no built-in Microphone
