Are you downloading or heavily using your internet connection?

What router do you have? When the Mrs is using VoIP and i'm on wireless it will do a similar thing to what you are experiencing.

Still bet it's feedback from the webcam mic and speakers.
Does he not have a headset to try as a test?

welshorp · 13 Dec 2006 at 19:48

Its not that, he has tried headphones and moving cam away from speakers, what can it be? hes got a laptop

get him to mute all inputs (skype unmutes mic as it needs it)

might help

Does the laptop also contain a mic as well as the camera ?

welshorp · 14 Dec 2006 at 10:11

yeah when he uses his laptop mic we have found out it works fine apart from a little qiet and when he switches over to webcam it makes the noise after a minute

ns400r · 14 Dec 2006 at 16:17

One or both of the mics are causing feedback.

Make sure that both are muted in the PLAYBACK section of the volume mixer.

on the logitech webcam audio video srtting theres only 1 mixer and that not volume its capture and nothing else, nothing else to select either. If i get him to disable the laptop mix then surely that will work?
