Audio w/o video and vice versa

[lyle]

I purchased a quickcam messenger with the built in mic. Drivers are up
to date. I have msn messenger 7 and I can have an audio conversation
with the built in mic fine. I can show myself in the webcam fine. But
when I want to have video conversation with both video and audio
together I got a black screen displaying my webcam.
I have discovered that if I disable the built in mic through the
audio/video tuning wizard I then can use my webcam, obviously without
audio.
I have windows xp sp2.
Does anyone else have this problem and what is the solution?

Thanks in advance.

Go to Circuit City or Office Depot and purchase a mic approx $15.00 and plug
it into the sound card and use that. Then run the Wizard and select that
mic and all should be fine.

You don't have to disable the built in mic. Buy the regular mic and
plug it in the back of your soundcard. If you are using
MSN mesenger, use the audio/video tuning wizard. At some point the
wizard will ask you want microphone you wan't to use. Select the
microphone connected to your soundcard
