Amcap is a basic program, I think the error is to be found from driver
part or hardware.
Check in Control Panel->system->hardware manager if your camera appears
as an "imaging device".
If not or if there is an exclamation mark near it, you can't stream and
view frames.

Of course. The SigmaTel is the audio chip on your motherboard.

It looks like your computer has simply not recognized your camera. In
Device Manager, under Imaging Devices, do you see your camera listed?

Amcap is the most fundamental video capture application in DirectShow. You
may be 100% confident that Amcap is not at fault here.

Hi, thanks for your help,

What are the device drivers that appear to make your camera work?

I instead decided to just let Windows automatically look for drivers
but it failed in its attempt to install HPBSC driver (HP Basic Starter
Camera driver). I didn't manage to check the device manager before
that but but did take a screenshot after...

I don't know what the device manager would have looked like before my
attempt. But as you can see from the picture there is an exclamation
(!) mark next HP Basic Starter Camera under imaging devices.

I should mention I got the camera from bestofferbuy.com

Are you running a 64-bit operating system? Did you try to install a 32-bit
driver?
