content: I purchased this webcam thinking microsoft would offer a quality product. My first one had a picture but everyone on Skype complained of a loud, intermittent static noise. The person (anthembookseller) sent me a replacement which seemed to be better at first, but produced the same loud static sound followed by intermittent total sound loss. I suspect something is wrong with the wiring in the cord as moving the wire changes sound , noise, and silence. I have multiple usb ports and the results are the same in every port.I'm giving up on this webcam and will buy the cheap one my son bought at Target which works perfectly.
