Unplug them both, then plug the webcam in.
Check your default audio capture device is set to the webcam one under sound settings.

Challenge any creationist to a debate.
They'll run away and aggressively accuse you of "attacking" them and their "beliefs".
I'm sorry, please, keep teaching our kids that they'll burn in hell if they don't believe. Mutilate their genitals against their will while you're at it. Keep influencing politics and holding back vital scientific research.
I'll just keep my mouth shut to "respect" your "beliefs".

What the FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU woeh.gif

Ok try um... unplugging the headset? blink.gif

Or do what Stoke said but bear in mind when taking Stoke's advice it's a good idea to have some sort of insurance policy.

Ok the headset really shouldn't affect the webcam because as far as I know webcam = video and headset = audio/mic. So um... open AMCAP or w/e it is you have and on the option "Devices" choose the name of your webcam. Usually the top options are video and the bottom are recording/audio. That should get it working.

If all else fails unplug the webcam, go Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the webcam software then reinstall it via the CD/internet driver.

if you are running windows vista, with your webcam plugged in click on Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio devices
You should get a sound window that appears, from there click on the Recording Tab, set whichever microphone you want as the default

Happy to help. Its this kind of thing that makes me glad I spend the time Beta Testing Windows (and as a result, lots of time exploring)
