Preferably a 720P resolution type with built in microphone.
I currently have a Logitech C270 which has performed well on Windows 7 but on W10 with any available driver it's a problem, hence the question.

As I mentions elsewhere, a Skype call is out of the question because the other end can't make out what I say.
I discovered the Camera app in Windows 10 and tried that.
A recording a moment ago runs fast audio and video.
A run through various settings in 'Sound' and the Realtek Audio Manager without changing any settings.
It then works until I unplug the Webcam and reconnect it or do a reboot.

I tried two short recordings but the audio and video was perfectly normal.
Am I correct in thinking you have exactly the same webcam as me?

@NedLudd Me neither.
I have had video running normally with speeded up sound and others with both sound and video speeded up.
It's a strange one to be sure.
Looking at the drivers installed there is a selection of Microsoft and Logitech entries present.

Following advice in a Logitech forum I visited Control Panel > Sound > Recording > Microphone > Properties > Advanced and changed Default Format to 1 channel, 16 bit, 16000Hz (Tape Recorder Quality)...it was set on 48000Hz.
Recordings were ok...even after a reboot.....fingers crossed.

This is for a 10 year old Creative Labs camera!

A few small but significant differences.
Incidentally I went to select Webcam in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers which is where it was located, but it wasn't there
I found it in Imaging Devices which is where I presume yours is located.

Yes. And it looks as if my model, although nominally the same as yours, is actually a bit different.

Quote from: NedLudd Hmmm, mines set at 2 channel, 16 bit, 48000Hz (DVD Quality)!
So was my Logitech in Windows 7 but that was back in the good old days
