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 ?

    Hi, well, can it boost a driver that doesn't exist ?

    I've gone through a lot of forum solutions including using .cab drivers from the windows catalogue - which don't install.

    The microsoft online store lists this camera as suitable for windows 10. I think they should change that.

    Hmm, maybe you should try to update your drivers through Driver Booster Download. Its free and works like a charm

    Hiya Melik, thanks, well, I tried it on two other windows 10 machines. 

    I should say I also tried using the Win 7 driver from the Microsoft download site, in compatibility mode, but that made no difference, still a loud hum over the audio.

    It just looks like it's obsolete on windows 10, the company hasn't updated the drivers.

    Hi Ingrid,

    Have you tried the webcam on other computers aswell or did you just test on 1 PC? Would be worth to test on others and then we can surely know that it is something with the webcams software.

    Please reply so that I can assist you furthermore with the problem :).
