Logitech QuickCam Express: Microphone not working

After completing all the steps of installation, I cannot get my new Logitech QuickCam Express's microphone to work. With the Audio Tuning Wizard, I can get to the step called "Adjust Microphone Volume", but then, when I test the volume with my voice, no sound is sent into the microphone, and I get the message called "Microphone Warning" stating that "little or no sound was detected from your microphone" etc. I bought two of these webcams, and neither will work. I'm pretty sure this problem is occuring because when the Audio Tuning Wizard has a box with a dropdown asking for the correct microphone, it only comes up with SoundMAX Digital Audio, which is the audio system in my laptop (and my laptop does not have a built in microphone), not the Logitech QuickCam Express one. So either how can I add a microphone to my audio settings, or how can I get the microphone to work?

it's driving me crazy.
is there actually a built in mic?
i remember during installation it showed a headset talking about audio products from logitech, but i assumed a cam would come with a built in mic...it just makes sense, you know?

ughh, help!

I don't think any audio is getting through the mic (if there even is one, I don't know).

The quick cam express and quickcam chats are the only two models built without a mic in the camera.

QuickCam mic doesn't work

I read another post that said to go to Logitech itself for up-dates. This I did......downloaded all new drivers, etc. (the disc that comes with the cam must be out of date !). Then when that was done, I went back on Skype and where you do a 'voice test' I was able to this time around to "choose" my webcam - this was not coming up before at all. So in doing that it activated the mic on the webcam and all was OK. We seniors are supposed to be savvy with the forever changing world of electronic devices today! (LOL)

Logitech quick cam messenger

Hey guys,

Every review/spec I have read on this cam so far indicates that there is no built in microphone on the Quickcam Express. Here is one of those sites...

http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Logitech-Quickcam-Express-640x480-USB-W98-Logitech

If you still have your box that the camera came in, it should tell you for certain if there is a microphone in the product description on the back or side of the box.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you, and good luck.

Trying to get around buying a new webcam

When this happened to me with my web cams, Vista has always installed my cameras with the "Look 321P" driver, after I told it to "Search the 'net" for "Drivers". So try that it has worked for me on a number of occasions as I said.
