It may be you have a directional mic instead of an omnidirectional mic. A directional mic will only pick up the sound it is pointing at. BTW, microphones do not have a volume control to turn up, they have a gain control.

How do you get volume on webcam to work?

The volume comes from the microphone not the webcam. Unless the webcam has a built in microphone. But even then it's still registered as a microphone and all the volume settings and controls will be in your sound and volume options with the other recording and playback audio controls

How do you make your music sound clear and loud in your camcorder?

The trick to getting good sound in video is the microphone placement. If you have a microphone jack on your camcorder, you might consider an upgrade to a boom microphone or even a wireless system. If you don't have a microphone jack on your camcorder (most consumer models don't), you can use a solid state digital audio recorder to get the best microphone placement, and sync the sound in later when you edit the video on your computer.

My computers built in microphone wont work it says its working properly but no one on ventrillo can here you and you tried recording yourself that didnt work either?

Not all computers have a built-in microphone. If you have never used your microphone, then how do you know your computer is equipped with one? Also, the microphone is often muted by default even on computers that have one; check your volume control and make sure the "Mute" checkbox is not checked.
