Why does the microphone still not work even though
it is being recognized by my computer?
This could mean there is communication issue
happening between the camera and your computer.
This can be resolved by uninstalling and then
reinstalling the webcam.
On your computer, navigate to Computer Manage-
ment>Device Manager>Sound, video and game
controllers and click to expand the menu to locate the
your webcam. Right click and select “Uninstall device”.
Once the webcam has been uninstalled, unplug the
USB cord from your computer and then plug it back
into the USB port. The webcam will automatically
install the new driver. Wait about 1 minute and verify if
the microphone is working properly.
