Beeping noise using 1525 built-in webcam & stereo mics

yes i am getting the same thing, whether it be making a video recording on the webcam centre, or a voice recording on 'sound recorder' [found in accessories]

 

very annoying! help would be appreciated anyone

There is a method for turning off beeps in the FAQ -- the 1st thread on this board. If that doesn't help then maybe contact tech support -- the noise you describe seems abnormal.

I'm getting the same problem. If I boot the 1525 and start Audacity and record some sound it's fine. I then start up the web cam and record sound with video and getting a beep which appears to correlate with frame rate of the camera. The odd thing is that if I then close down the web cam and record some sound with Audacity the beeping persists.
I'm trying to get the store to replace the laptop but having seen your post I'm concerned it may be a general fault with the 1525. 

Hmmm, considering you are a GOLD member, it would have been nice if you actually _read_ my post before replying to it.  The beeping doesn't occur on my end of the video/audio transmission, thus it cannot be turned off like the system beep you refer to in the FAQ.

"The beeping doesn't occur on my end of the video/audio transmission...''

 

That isn't what you wrote in your first post where you said you hear the beep:

 

"I'm hearing a beeping noise when using the built-in webcam with stereo microphones on my new Inspiron 1525."

 

You also wrote that the beep gets transmitted when you are connected. The next poster wrote that the beep occurs during recording but made no mention of video calls. My two suggestions -- to try to turn off the beep and to contact support -- were meant for both of you. Sorry I wasn't able to help.
