Arrrh . . thanks for letting me know Clive. I was hoping that as its still a USB Sound device, it would still work. Having said that, I do remember a year or so ago going though loads of different ones with Langstone and only the cheap white ones would work.

However, it's all about the Portsdown atm.

Thanks again Clive.

Logitec C920 camera is specified for the PD4 and so I have just won a 920E
Have I made an error as I am now reading the Microphone is disabled on this version of the camera :-(

Can this be enabled anywhere?

Tks

Hi Nick

Sadly, I need to specifically enable each webcam in the Portsdown 4 code. So the C920E may not work at all. I have enabled the 3 versions of the C920 that I have been able to get hold of.

The only way to enable a new camera is for me to do some specific tests on the camera and then write it into the code and test it.

Hi Dave
I had not realised a C920 may not be a C920 hi hi.
Thanks
Happy Christmas
Nick
