I keep trying to host webcam chats on mylol.com, but nobody can hear me no matter how loud I talk. I give permission for the webcam and microphone, and the webcam works just fine, but the microphone is not working. How can I solve this?

Firefox should detect the default microphone and camera. There is a way to change it, this was the bug to fix this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=804611

The audio preferences are in the Media Mixer in Windows 7, the stored cookie may still have a previous preference if it was recently changed. Though this would be strange.

Go to the web page. Once the page is loading, mouse to the address bar and Left click the icon. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select More Information. Now select Permissions. In the menu, find and check the plugins, make sure they are set properly.

Is this with using a plugin like Flash?

In that case you can try to reset the Flash local storage and also check the permissions in Flash.
