Using on Skype or MSN: Does the audio not come through the usb when using it with Skype or MSN?

Correct, you can't hear them and they can't hear you. When I first bought this camera I assumed since it "worked with Skype" and since the cameras have built in speakers and microphones, that there would be support for 2-way audio, or at least 1-way audio. Unfortunately there is neither. I guess on the plus side if you set Skype to auto-answer like I decided to do, you can't have grandparents and such calling in to the camera and waking up your baby or overhearing a private conversation going on in the room.

I couldn't get it to work either. I should have sent it back. I finally got Skype to work using the head set/mic from my Dragon Speaking program.

I also have windows 7 and there was no issue. I plugged the microphone into the jack and that was it. Possible problem with your jack?

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

No problems what so ever with audio. It just may be a glitch. It happens. Good luck!

Hi Carly, I do not remember it having any kind of Audio, at least definitely no way out. I purchased the Logitech instead and it's even worse.

Hmmm...I mostly used it up close. I recall that people on the other end of a Skype call had trouble hearing if someone else in the room was talking, but farther away from the mic. That just might have been due to too many people trying to talk at once. That seems to make the conversation very confusing. I really like this little cam though. I have a built in now, so don't use it anymore.

Not natively, but it comes with a USB adapter that has a microphone mute button with an LED so you know when it's on or off. If you're using a higher end sound card I would stay away from USB adapters tho. Almost all VoIP programs have a push-to-talk feature, even Skype can be set to push-to-talk under the advanced settings in the hotkeys column.

The headset works great with Skype. I use the Plantronics Spokes app to manage the interface. Note: Skype is changing their API soon which might affect the on headset mute and pick-up/hang-up functions until Plantronis rewrites to the new API

Not sure about PS4, but I tried to use it with Skype. The mic isn't that great so I went back to my USB headset.

Pretty good, but sometimes i get the comment that the volume is low on the receiving end, otherwise it provides good clear sound in Skype. Keep in mind that it doesn't make a chappy connection sound better ;-)

Skype no longer supports USB capture produces, like Startech, Hauppage, etc. I know this only after wasting a lot of time and $ trying. Microsoft bought Skype...

Try going to audio settings in Skype and setting your headphones as the default audio playback device for Skype calls.

I have not experienced this problem, if using them with SKYPE, check your settings.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

I tried this and it did not work. I plugged the headphones into the microphone jack on a desktop computer running Windows XP. I went to the control panel to test if the mic was working and it was not. It doesn't seem to work this way. But I have been using the headphones for quite some time now and they are excellent. Very good sound! And the mic works great during calls also.

Assuming you are recording from the adapter, it sounds like the input to the audio programs you are using is not set to the USB audio source.
