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 ?

    I have the exact same hum on a Windows 10 laptop as well.  I've tried every driver I can find and also ran off battery power.

    Hi all,

    After a few attempts, I tried @Techfreak_'s suggestion and set the highest (on my laptop) sound quality in the control panel (see below): it worked!

    Now the hum seems to have disappeared..  maybe it works on my laptop only but... give it a try!

    I also get the same hum on 3 desktops despite trying the setting antilope60 have successfully fixed by turning up the sound quality on the mic (it was the default setting already). I tried using the lower quality settings and then back up but the hum persists.

    I have exactly the same buzzing sound as you have shown on your YouTube video, and I have the same setup: Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 connected to a Microsoft Surface Pro, running on battery with no power supply connected. So, all Microsoft hardware, and Microsoft software!

    Setting the Default Format to 1 channel, 16 bit, 480000 Hz (DVD Quality) had no effect.
