I just bought the Sony Cybershot DSC-S500 last night at Radio Shack (6MP). It says when I look up technical details that this camera has both a microphone and a speaker. I think I see a microphone on the front of the camera but when I try to play back video, I can't hear anything. Maybe I should try uploading the file to my comp to see if it has sound there??? Thoughts?

You probably just need to turn up the volume on the camera.
However, the video/audio capability of digicams is nowhere as good as that of camcorders. So don't expect great sound.
Even so, I have some great clips of my 3 year old grandson that I never would have gotten if I had to run for the camcorder!
Good Luck!

The speaker in this camera makes very tiny voice. you should press up/down key to reduce or increase the volume. the volume bar will be showed on LCD screen. but audio (MONO) will playback normally when you upload the files to computer. the major drawback is you cannot use the optical zoom when recording is going on. and while taking still photos in low light, the red laser light disturbs the person, who's photo we take. but anyway the picture quality was fine.

that happened to me too. don't worry there is sound if you put it on your computer you will hear it much better.
