I had the same issue when I didn't know much about DashCams and ended up buying one of these. I would return it and buy a better camera. Something like Amazon ASIN B00FONBG1A

I bought a few different kinds I didn't like the spot lite so I gave it away I have no idea if it needs a mic. or if there is one built in.

I returned mine after realizing the IR worked for about 6 feet, not nearly enough for night recording unless you're parked, you get what you pay for

The camera does record sound for videos, but the microphone isn't the best and sound is a little distorted, and I am talking about when the camera is dry.

I'm surprised you got video! the one I bought won't do anything! Well it turns on but nothing else. I would look for a better cam.

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

I am having the same experience. I guess I'd better return this camera. I mean, if it won't even turn on, what good is it? What a waste of time. My husband bought me a Vivitar pocket camcorder for Christmas, it works. I guess I'll just stick with that. After all...it works...kind of a basic requirement.

The camera makes no noise by itself. Other than starting beep and ending beep for recording which doesn't get picked up By the camera itself

I have been tracking this issue also, but I don't have the new camera yet. I just put together s system with the same processor and memory, and installed Sony VMS 10. From what I have heard, the problem is capturing the video from the camera in it's native format. Once its in a suitable format, it will handle the video.

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

I don't know the answer to this one. My camera takes great pictures but the is no response from customer service if you try to contact them. My camera only has sound with the picture some of the time, I wish I new why.

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!

no, this is a film camera so it doesn,t do running video. therefore no audio.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and
