Re: Track in Audacity Jumps while cam is on
What does "jump" mean? Is that something bad? 
Is the sound "jumping", or the display?
And, what's Audacity doing when this happens? Are you recording?
The camera could be messing-up a driver setting, or it could just be hogging the CPU/data bus.
Audio & video can be very demanding. Especially HD video. Audio at standard sample-rates isn't really that demanding, but if another application or driver takes-over the CPU or data bus for a few-milliseconds too-long, the audio buffers can underflow (playback) or overflow (recording), the digital audio-stream stops flowing, and you get a glitch.

Re: Track in Audacity Jumps while cam is on
it is something negative . When recording with my cam turned on, there are times wherein the track in audacity gets slower for a few milliseconds. It is frustrating.
