If the mic volume is still low, unplug and re-plug the webcam to see if it resolves the issue, make sure "Microphone (Lumina Camera - Raw)" is selected afterwards.
  2. If there is no sound, check the correct speaker output is selected and increase the volume on the Creston panel and your laptop.
  3. If there is no image on the screen for Macbooks, go to the Settings app -> Displays -> Display Settings. Select "PN-E702" on the left hand side and choose 30Hz or 24Hz for the refresh rate and apply. Adjust the underscan slider if your image is cropped on the screen.
