Hi
Is it possible using JavaScript and/or PHP or any other language, whether a user of my web site has a webcam attached to his PC and whether they have audio output device (speakers, head phones etc) and audio input device for example mike
Any help or guidance on this matter would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your help

AFAIK. No.
On the audio side: you could probably detect whether they have a sound card, but whether they have something plugged into it is a whole different matter.
Again, with webcams, you could probably find out if they had USB ports, but to find out what they've got plugged into them isn't possible.
If this is even possible, it certainly won't be done with PHP or Javascript. You'd need something like a Java applet.
