Anyone have problems using webcam w/sound w/dialup?
819177
I used to connect years ago with dial up. When I did use my webcam with sound it was horrible. It cut off alot and the voice transmissions were horrible. There is so much bandwith going through those lines that it cannot handle it. Go DSL or Cable and you shouldn't have a problem. If you dont have access to that in your area then you may want to consider satilite access. But that costs lots of money.

does your webcam come with drivers? if so install them. Look at the user manual as well for instulation instructions

when u install it, it should have had a webcam program with it. \nor if u have a good graphical program do import and then choose source as webcam, or if u have a client like messenger installed click on webcam

Try updating your driver and the creative webcam centre\n\nhttp://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=218&sOSName=Windows+XP&region=1&Product_Name=WebCam+Instant&Product_ID=10410&modelnumber=&driverlang=1033&OS=10&drivertype=0&x=20&y=15\n\nIf you have yahoo messanger open and you are trying to open use it from the creative webcam centre you might experience a problme becuase to applications are trying to use the camera at the same time. Close yahoo and see if the creative webcam software opens without any problems or vicde versa.\n\nI hope that helps.

this could simply be that you and the person you are trying to webcam with are not using the same (most recent version of the comms software)\n\ntry emailing or text chating to the person and see if you are both on the same version of the comms software.\n\nyou may be advised to try www.skype.com if you both have the latest version (download and install on the same day) then this may solve the video chat option.\n\nrememeber skype is free to download and use. you only need to pay if you want to make call from your pc to a mobile or landline, or if you want to transfer calls from your skype to your cell phone when you are not at your desk or offline.\nread full details at www.skype.com

use firewire (IEEE 1394), or that funky-shaped port on one side that is square on one side and sort of narrows on the other.\n\nIf it's not a firewire camera, i can't help you.  If it does, Windows Movie Maker will guide you.

No, I`m sorry but I`ve tried that before. Only webcams will work.

I really want to help you solve your problem. But you haven't posted enough information. Can you please let me know the model of the webcam etc.\n\nWhat I would do is uninstall the webcams program and reinstall it this might fix the problem

Try updating your web cam drivers themselves and be sure all other applications are closed. You can also try another video conference software like iVisit for instance that is GREAT and FREE!

What he said... I use skype and windows xp with no problems.  There's a fairly new version out now, maybe you need the newest one.

Difficult to give any advice really as you say you have tried everything. If the audio is OK in  other use then we can presume the settings are Fine. It "could" be a simple bad connection, does the person you are talking to have the same problem?, is it always distorted no matter who is on line?  All I can suggest is to look at the FAQ's on MSN site, see if anyone else has the same problem. It could be your PC/Video Card is just not up to spec to deal with video calls. Try it without video, see if that helps and close any other programmes running in the background. Best of Luck

Yes I do the problem is that the size of the file must be too large or you have Dial-Up. I think its the file is too large try reconnecting your modem. Good Luck Finding out what it is

I use yahoo messenger. My son lives in Alaska and I live in Illinois. The video framerate between us is constantly 32 frames per second. Never fails us, and audio seems to be every bit as good as phone lines. As a matter of fact...the telephone line has an annoying echo that I dont hear on yahoo messenger. You might want to purchase a reputable webcam thogh, I have gone through a dozen of them and find that logitech works the best.

this could happen if you use multiple connections and have say a dial-up connection as default......bottom line...use firefox http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

I have one, but it never did that to me. Is it when you try to do a video chat or what??? I just downloaded it and then dragged it from my desktop to the applications folder and then you can just click on it and it should work.
