    Hi there,

    I'm hearing a beeping noise when using the integrated webcam with stereo microphones on my XPS 1530.

    If I boot the computer and record some sound, it's fine. But if I start up the web cam and record sound with video, I get a periodic beeping noise which appears to correlate with frame rate of the camera. The odd thing is that if I then close down the web cam and record some sound, the beeping persists.

    This is too annoying when trying to make a videocall (the recipient hears this annoying beeping sound) I’ve seen that a lot of people have this same problem. Did anybody get a solution? Can anybody with this problem call the technical support? I would, but my warranty is over.

    Thanks.
