I have a Kodak c183 and the microphone is not working properly aka no sound only system noises like beeps

@photofarmer1267 double check the mic and make sure that it is properly connected. This guide Kodak Easyshare C183 Lens Assembly Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide step 3 shows the location of it. If it is properly connected (check solder connections etc.) then consider replacing it.
