- Microphone of Webcam Microsoft VX-3000 has humming sound Original title: Webcam Microsoft VX-3000 carries loud humming sound which drowns my voice while on skype I have tried placing my Microsoft VX 3000 Webcam away from my speakers, computer, cordless phone and power outlets but the loud humming sound does not go away while I test the.
VX-6000:
I have had a problem on Skype telling me there is excessive background noise - and people I'm talking to unable to hear me properly. I tried the other solutions but got varying results. Looking at the noise graph in the VX-6000 audio and video settings process the bar stayed either yellow/red without me talking or the microphone volume turned itself so low as to be useless.
I have taken the screw out of the back of the unit, prised the case apart and lifted the microphone (small cylinder with two wires attached) out of its inset. I have then stripped 5-10 mm from the ends from a 50mm (2 inch) piece of wire from telephone cable (very thin), inserted one end through the horizontal slit in the rear case of the unit , underneath where the microphone sits. I bent the wire over so the bottom metal case of the microphone would sit on top of the bared wire. I then reseated the microphone (while looking at the graph in the set up of the VX-6000) - once I had reassembled the unit the microphone is permanently in the green section of the graph. I have put the volume up to maximum with no buzzing problems - tested it on Skype and by recording a clip using the life cam software.
I did this as a last resort - my webcam is 8 months old and I would not get a refund so I had nothing to lose. It looks ugly but it works for me.
My Microsoft lifecam VX-1000 apperently picks up a low buzzing noise frequency sort of thing and the person on the other side of the conversation hears it quite well. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this. Audio on the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000, on the other hand, takes a few hits from experts on PCMag.com and users on CNET who gripe about low volume and buzzing. Ease of Setup. Based on user comments and the absence of complaints, it's fair to say that cheap webcams are easy to get going.
