These are excellent camera I owed two of them for years look for the mic port on the camera and make sure it is free of debris you may even what to take a vacuum and kind use the suction wand in the area to pull all dust or other items. I never saw and mic setting in the menu on my models. If that doesn't work you may have a defective mic on the camera or a software issue.

Configure your mic/ webcam to the chat program of your choice
This sounds like you have a voice morphing program installed. A morph program is useful for distorting your voice and special effects, but it also takes over your mic controls. Go to the control panel and choose sounds and audio devices, then look for the default device under sound recording and make sure your record device is the same model as your sound device and that it says INPUT. Another problem occurs if you right click your little sound/audio icon on the taskbar and choose open volume control then left click. Do that now and choose, options, then properties. Now on mixer device, choose one that says input. The white window on the bottom of that panel will show you several devices, check mark them all and click ok. Now manually select MIC as your default sound input device and close then try again.
There you will find microphone settings that are enabled, one of them is set to on and adjusts volume automatically as the noise increases, jsut disable that option
You need to check the record settings and make sure the mic is not muted or turned down to low. Click START, CONTROL PANEL, then SOUND icon. Click the AUDIO tab up top. Make sure that your sound card is selected in the drop down menu under Sound Recording. Now click VOLUME tab. A new window will open up. Click OPTIONS then PROPERTIES. Make sure you have a check by the MIC and click OK. In the Recording Control window, turn the level up for Microphone and make sure it is not muted. Let me know what happens.
did you see a volume control in the task bar. In the volume control double click ..click the option and then properties, check the mic and line volume to display.. and then adjust the volume to higher..
if this not work u can , maybe the volume socket is defective but ican't believe..that is seldom case..
But if that is the case you can buy add on sound card and connect it to the pci port.
pls try first the solution above before going to buy new sound card.
may this help,

PS: pls do not rate me if my solution not solve the issue and you need more further information. but if is invaluable solution rate me fixya.
i know this might sound a little obvious and maybe irrelevant to the problem, but did you press the switch on the mic? it will turn the mic on and off. make sure sound and mic are unmuted in windows volume control. if both are these didnt solve the problem, test the mic on another computer. if the mic works, maybe its not the mic that has the problem. if the mic doesnt work, then your mic may be defective or damaged in some way or other.
