Countdown never starts
Joel Karr
First off. Spark booth is great. Been using it for over a year
Recently switched to a new go laptop with a built in webcam. I have the latest version of spark booth and the latest version of AIR
It only shows a default camera so I disabled the built in webcam through windows 7 device manager. This shows the USB webcam through spark booth... However...when I press space to begin....the count down never starts and it just stays frozen on the screen with video feed still active.
Any ideas on how to fix this? If I take out the USB cam. It works fine with built in webcam but I can't use that for photobooth

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately that didn't resolve it. When I disconnect the USB cam the sound works fine and the countdown starts. It is only when I have the laptop webcam disabled and the USB camera connected.
Any other ideas?

Sounds like your webcam is interfering with the sound. Maybe check to see
if there are update drivers for the webcam?

It's working now...but not sure why hha
I'm actually am a software developer so I will try and narrow down what changed and let you know for future reference. Since our last convo....the only change I made was closing spark booth and reopening it. All settings remained and no new drivers installed.
