Laptop can't tell from Microphrone or Speaker

Featured Replies

I've got this recording software named "CamStudio" and I started recording some videos to test it out. Video quality was fine, but sound was also coming from the microphone instead of just the speaker (I could tell from my brother talking in the backround).

 

 

 

The microphone is installed inside the laptop, I tried to disable it through the control panel but the sound was completely gone after that.

 

 

 

Is there any way I fix this or am I doomed?

Try updating sound driver. Does it always do this when you go to use the mic? or is it just camstudio?

I think its just CamStudio but I set it so that it only records from the speaker, I've never really used the mic in any other way so I can't be too sure.

You set it so it records from the speakers? I thought speakers speak? Isn't that what i mic does? captures sound?

Speakers/Stereo receive sound, and the mic sends it (Easiest way i can explain it) and its recording from both of them, I hear a song by using the speakers and i also hear me and my brother talking at the time we recorded it.

 

 

 

Geez this is confusing :x

I don't see how the should can be coming though the mic. Mics on laptops are usually small. What laptop do you have Model/Brand?

I searched it on google and I didnt find any real solutions. I'm on vista

"WaveOutGetSelectControl()" error means that camstudio cannot fine the line in. I would try updating your driver as that would be a simple fix if it works. Click here to download your sound driver. You might also need to set the default line in in control panel to your on board mic.
