Hello, Inspiron 3891 [IMAGE] The webcam has a USB and a mic plug. The same webcam has been proven to work on both sound and vision on another computer. There is no mic socket at the back of the computer. I used 2 different adapters to connect the mic jack to a USB port. This does not work. Nor does connecting a separate mic with the adapter. I used Webcamtests.com to test and the cam is ok but mics are not found. I am using the green input for the external speakers. I have plugged the webcam mic and separate mic into the green input and neither work. I do not get a pop up from Waves giving options. I cannot find "Waves" on my computer In the Device Manager under Sound, video and game controllers there are 4 items: Cmedia Audio; Cmedia  audio; Intel(R) Display audio and USB Audio Device. All of the desktops I have used in the past - probably about 6 or 7 ( I had a BBC B micro computer back in 1983) have been simple to use - just plug in speakers and a mic - yet this Inspiron just hasn't got the sockets. I am going to close this topic now, so thanks for the input. Rod        
I have a problem with my integrated mic on the web cam not being found. I have done all the things like allowing access through all of the audio settings etc. Just for clarity, this PC does not have a mic plug anywhere. I used a USB to Mic connector and it doesn't work. I have a separate mic, and as that has a mic jack I used the USB to Mic connector and that is not found. I can plug in headphones in the front output jack and the mic works fine. Trouble is I want to use separate speakers so that others can hear the third party. I bought a sound card and that was not recognised by the system. I bought another USB to mic connector (thinking the first one was maybe faulty) and that doesn't work. I cannot understand why a desktop Pc does not have a mic socket? Any ideas for a workaround?
