    Hello,

    I'm hearing a beeping noise when using the built-in webcam with stereo microphones on my new Inspiron 1525. Whenever connected to MSN or Skype during a video call it always transmits a beeping noise to the recipient. This has happened in several different cities and sometimes adjusting the tilt of the LCD screen makes the beepign noise drop or rise in volume. Sounds to me like a high frequency fan noise transmitting through the case to the mics, cycles about 6 times per second.

    Any one have some ideas how to cure this?

    Lemme know.

    YES that happens to me, not tried it yet with webcam on msn, just a voice clip (but that was ok). The problem for me is when i record a video on the webcam, there's beeping when i watch it back.

    Could you make a little video with audio and tell me if you hear beeping when you watch it back? Thanks.

    If anyone has any suggestions please help !
