Got a camera for christmas with built in mic, Sven is the make.
I can get picture on testing but no soumd working from the mic on skype test call.
Is there any way to get the mic working?
In the settings there is nothing for sound or camera either skype or droidbox.

OK, if you head to the normal black/white Android Settings screen, can you check whether your X7's firmware build has these entries please?
On the bottom of your X7, is there a label there?

If so, check whether you get an extra entry in the Sound Input Decvices menu.

Excuse photo quality, only just settling into new house.

It may be only the video side of the chipset automatically gets covered by the drivers built into this particular flavour of Android. If you have a USB OTG cable and a phone/tablet with a OTG socket, see how other devices handle that webcam.
I'll add the results so far to our USB device/webcam thread when I find it.
Here we go: https://droidboxforums.com/threads/usb-webcams-can-you-help.338/

Can you let me know what the label shows on the bottom of the X7 please, with that and the month it was purchased, we can get the exact X7 type, as well as the firmware hopefully.
Can you check the model of your webcam, and if you ever get bored enough, grab the Hardware IDs (VID and PID) if you plug them into a PC? Let me know if
Windows Flag key on keyboard held down, tap pause break, device manager, imaging devices, name of your webcam, double click, Details tab, Property: change to Hardware Ids
doesn't get you there (Assuming Vista/7/XP-ish)

I've bits of PCs spread across towns, countries, continents and attics. If I could get it all in one place and put it all to good use, ... ... I'd have a very annoyed wife... Once I've found the surround sound pre-amp in the attic here, I can start experimenting on that side properly. Just need to find someone local with a 3D TV set now.
