When using a Foscam FI8910W IP Camera, how do I get the 2-way audio function to work? I have VLC as a video app in my applications folder. I am running OSX 10.8
Again, I am on a 2011 MBP, running OSX 10.8.4, and I use VLC as my default player. I bought a Foscam FI8910W Pan&Tilt camera, which has 2-way audio capability through the browser. I have looked online and the only people who have this camera who can also use their audio functions are those individuals who are on a PC running IE. The Foscam website says to fix this issue I must download VLC player. I had VLC before I ever heard of Foscam. Still no audio. When I sign onto my IP camera by inputting the IP address, the user name, and the encryption password, I can then view the camera. At the bottom, it has a URL that says (audio). Clicking this does only one thing - it tells me that I need a plug in to have audio support. The plugin is the VLC player. So I am back at square one. Please help.

Hello kchercmech, i'm not familiar with your issue, but see if the next is helpful : Set how Firefox handles different types of files
thank you
Ideato: Thank you for responding. How can I find out what kind of file type/extension the Foscam IP FI8910W camera uses for its audio support? With the link you sent me I may be able to do what it lays out, but I don't know what type of audio file is generated. Can you help with this?
see also if you can revert the audio (in the camera software) to one channel (ADPCM is 2 channels).
I just went to the IP address to access my camera's software; however, there is no mention of audio settings or anything called ADPCM. The included software (CD) does not work with 10.8 - a fact left out by the manufacturer
In regards to .wav files as you had previously mentioned, I have only 6 (.wav) files on my Mac that could be located using finder. They are all involved with my MacMail application. I could not find any other .wav file.
