Sound doesn't work with this software
The audio doesn't work at all. I have the most common sound card, the Soundblaster Audigy running under Windows XP Pro.

I started by installing version 2.0 of your software and there was no sound. I then tried running the Beta 2.5 version which had working sound recording for a while. I then tried reinstalling version 2.0 and sound has never worked again.
The soundbaster is detected on channel 4 for the speakers and I've tried to use the microphone mode. The Soundblaster Audigy has the mixer set to all the defaults.
What's wrong with your software? How can I get it to work? Is there some settings that need to be changed somewhere?
Thanks,
Don

The reason I know Cam Studio is the problem is because I never installed or uninstalled anything on my computer except version 2.0 of Cam Studio. That's the only change. Also, version 2.0 of Cam Studio NEVER worked, it was bug ridden from the start.
My guess is the problem likely lies somewhere in your own set-up, caused by a hardware and/or software incompatibility. I have XP Pro and a Creative Audigy 4 myself and have been able to use both 2.0 and 2.5 with minimal issues, so I doubt it's either of those.
You need to make sure:
* CamStudio (and whatever codecs you want to use with it) are properly installed and configured
* Your computer hardware (microphone, audio card, video card, etc) and hardware drivers are installed and working properly
* You have enough free space on your hard drive for CamStudio to store recorded video (I'd recommend at least 2 GiB)
* You're using a descent resolution for the video output (width and height values should be even numbers \ wholly divisible by 2)
* There is no media programs running in the background blocking access to the necessary audio and/or video hardware
* A Windows security setting isn't blocking CamStudio from the required libraries and resources
* A security program (Antivirus and/or Firewall) isn't blocking CamStudio from the required libraries and resources
* A virus/spyware/malware application isn't blocking CamStudio from the required libraries and resources
* You don't have a misconfigured/outdated/broken codec pack installed
I put together some basic info here (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_CamStudio) for 2.5 a while back, it might be worthwhile to give that a look as well.
/me needs to get this info copied into a sticky
Many thanks for putting together that info on WikiBooks ... If I can figure out how to make posts Sticky I'll certainly do it to this one.
Cheers
Nick :o)
