Lifecam HD-3000 bad audio

Hi I have Win 10, and I have a Lifecam HD-3000, and the audio has a hum.

I've tried a couple of units and they are the same, so I know it's not a physical fault.

I also tried changing the sampling rate, a solution offered in other forum answers, but that didn't work.

Does the Lifecam HD-3000 simply not work with windows 10, or is there a solution to get the sound working properly ?

    It's not the microphone that's the issue it's the video feed. In OBS if you remove the video feed and just use the microphone it comes out very clear without any buzzing or background noise, but once you enable the video again the buzz comes back. No solution sorry. You can either use one or the other it seems. What a scam.

    You're better off just using your phone as a microphone. It's easy to set up if you look online.

    Had a similar issue but it turned out to be the USB hub. I plugged into my monitor and it works great now :)

    Interesting... mine has only begun to do it in the last week, though, and was fine until then. However I have replaced my monitor, which has its own internal speakers, and I wonder if it is somehow incompatible with that. Or it might be that MS has done an update and the drivers don't work properly any more. I don't know what's changed; I've bought a Logitech camera to use instead.

    I have two of these same problems as everyone else......
    Settings make no difference, running on battery makes no difference.

    I brought these as they are MS and should be good quality, clearly, they are rubbish!
