Can anyone recommend a webcam for S4XP?

Windmill — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 11:05:08 GMT

I'd lke to get a webcam+integral mic for my S4XP, but one of the problems is that the USB port and the mic jack are on opposite sides of the laptop. Most webcams I've seen have the USB & mic jack lead bundled together which assumes the ports are near each other.

Anyone got an suggestions? (Of course I could buy an 3.5mm female->male extender cable but thats a bit ugly!).

Thanks.

I'll take that as "there isn't one"! Hasn't anyone been down this route with a S4 series laptop and wondered how to plug the mic and the USB in off the same lead?

Thanks for any response!:smileycry:

Sorry windmill - haven't been down that road yet.

Have you thought about a seperate mike? (you could always use it for Skype)

Webcam wise I've got the ps2 eyetoy hooked in LOL (no mike)

I use the Sphere from Logitech, but ofcourse that isn't very mobile

Probably the best way to go would be a webcam with mic as Jumpy said.

I think it's wierd they didn't put them the same side!
