I thought I'd be able to at least get it working in windows, but no.
Sigh.
The workaround has been to not use the onboard microphone that is on the webcam and instead use an old fashioned microphone which I have to hold up to my mouth.
I'm leaving this on in the background until I go to bed. Might be an hour, maybe less. If anyone pops in, I'll talk to them.

Hope I don't forget it's on and start masturbating.
