This may be the answer....it works in some situations.

Have you tried switching off all devices...shutting everything down....then switch back on.

There is a fix for these people on this thread....plugging in your mic.

Does anyone have a logical explaination as to why plugging in a totally unrelated Mic would enable a cam to work and why is it only necessary on Fab chatrooms (New one) ? x
