Facetime and external iSight - no sound input

Hi Michael,

Ok I guess there IS SOUND, but for some reason it is super choppy and the video is not smooth either as we saw.

Too bad, I'll try 10.7.3 to see if it is the OS version.

THANKS!

Andrew

Hi,

As Micheal points out the Firmware needs to be updated to the last one (1.0.3)

It is needed as this is an Audio Update to the camera and effects many apps that Apple Supply with the OS.

The Update is in earlier OS versions and is Triggered by running Software Update.

The File is in the Hard drive/System/Library/CoreServices/iSight Updater

However it is not present in Snow Leopard (I am not sure about Leopard as I am away from my G4 today)

If you have a computer with this folder you can run the updater manually.

It is an Update that will only run on an OS that can run PCC or Universal written software (not Intel only)

Hi all,

It was a software issue, I tried 10.7.5 and it worked fine.

I tried reparing disk permissions, but this didn't seem to do anything.

I reinstalled 10.8 and it is working now!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Ok after messing with it for another half day, I figured it out.

10.8.3 had some updates to audio of some sort. It stops the mic from working in Photobooth and messes up Skype for me (sound cuts in and out).

I tried repairing disk permission, but this didn't fix the problem.

I eventually put 10.8.2 back on and everything is happy now.
