question what kind of tape? i know where the mic is now so i can cover it or is it better to try external mic with the camera?

<<<its a Vivitar 4100 4 MP Camera>>>

That's not a current Vivitar camera model, so we're stuck.

Give it a shot. Record somebody talking in front of the camera for five seconds. Stop. Cover the hole with, say masking tape, and shoot another five seconds. It should sound muffled and very much lower in volume.

I'm afraid even that isn't going to stop a live band bass notes from shaking the beans out of the camera, but it should stop the overloading.
