Can anyone help?  Ive been using Icam for some time very successfully but all of a sudden (maybe since i upgraded to iphone 4??) I can not hear any audio from any of my cams -none of which are connecte dto each other soi the problem must be in the iphone software?  i have an iphone 4 with 3.0.2 update on it

Are you running the Mac or Windows versions of the iCamSource? Is the "Audio" turned on in the iCam Options? Have you tried rebooting the computer(s) and double-checking the selected inputs in the iCamSource Audio drop-down lists?

Have you also checked your Mac's System Preferences > Sound > Input setting to make sure that the same corresponding input is selected?

I have the identical problem. I had iCamsource working on three iMacs - only one was sending out audio but I assumed that was down to the newness of the Mac (late 2009 27 inch HD). But as with the OP, suddenly no audio is being sent to either iPhone or iPad.

Checked all settings but can't figure out why the unprompted change?

Any thoughts/suggestions greatly appreciated. But what a superb program this is. Congratulations on producing it.
Cheers
Chris

chrisrr - Have you rebooted your computer since this problem started?

What is the entry you have selected in the Audio drop-down list in iCamSource?

Hi Jay
Yes, rebooted many times.
Audio settings are set to Internal Microphone. This has been the setting since original setup and install.

I wonder whether deleting the app from my devices and reinstalling might clear away the cobwebs - and/or doing the same with icamsource progs on the Macs? Are there pref files that could be deleted too? I think I'll try all three and see what comes up...
Thanks for being there!
Do let me know if there is anything else I should be looking at

Cheers
Chris

Please check to make sure that the computer's audio input is set to be the Built-In Microphone.  To do that, go to System Preferences -> Sound -> Input and make sure the Internal Microphone is selected (not the Line-In). Does the volume indicator on that settings page show that the microphone is picking up sounds when you make noise close to the computer?

When you're zoomed into the camera in iCam on your iPhone, try changing the volume using the iPhone volume buttons.  Does it say "ringer" in the volume indicator pop-up?
