How do you get the webcam to work on MSN messenger?

Why won't my webcam mic work?

I bought a webcam, which came with a seperate mic and installed the software and the cam is running fine. When I'm on MSN Messenger I cant get the mic to work and it wont work within the cam's own program either. The mic is plugged into the correct socket on my PC (you can't go wrong as they are all colour coded) and the Messenger mic options seem ok. Is there some other setting, within the PC itself that I need to change in order for the mic to work?
Answer:

Check the control panel and make sure that there is no tick in the mute box on microphone.

set ur primary mic as the mic on ur cam. i.e if u have logitech cam . then set ur primary mic or input source as logitch mic. or watever the comp decides to call it ..

Assuming you have plugged the mic lead into the correct socket ( colour pink ) sometimes there is a mic symbol on the socket. To get the mic working you first have to configure the mic, open windows messenger and go to tools scroll down to audio and video settings and make your adjustments there. hope this helps. good luck.
