Headset Microphone Detected But Won't Work
Oct 26, 2008
I just got a new computer with Vista. I'm trying to get a headset that I used on my old computer to work. The headset is a free one that came with some language learning software so there's no driver. In the sound manager, Vista detects the microphone as being plugged in - as a "Microphone/Line In - SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC", but no program notices any sound coming from it. It is set as the default microphone and it's enabled. It works on my old computer still.

I have a desktop computer. Windows Vista Business Pro 2007 (6.0). 18 months ago, a friend from church who builds and fixes computers on the side; put the Vista OS in this tower by Centurion. I have never been inside a pc so do not know anything about the inside. It has: 2 gig RAM, DVD/CD-Rom drive: Memorez DVD16+/-DL4RWnD2ATA Device; IED Channel, VIA Bus Master IDE Controller - 0571; Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver (WMD); Mainboard-MSI PT 880 Neo-FSR (Ms-7043); Chipset: VIA PT880. I have contacted the VIA company with no replies about the soundcard. I have tried both a desktop and headset w/mic and neither works.
Someone told me it is hard to get a microphone to work with Vista. Another said the guy put a new OS onto old hardware. I am on SS, so cannot afford another pc. Do I need a new soundcard, or try a usb mic? PLease advise. I have gone into sound in control panel and unmuted the mic. It says in there Line-in not available. Jack not available.

I've tried all the solutions I can think of...followed the trouble shooting guide, but when I open up the Speaker Properties, and go to Levels to see if my microphone is muted....all I see is the volume level.....no phone line, Line In, Aux, Microphone....What else can I try......(frustrated)

I have a home built gaming PC, Gigabyte P35C-DS3R (rev 1.x) mobo.
My problem is the following:
Recently reformatted due to some issues I was having that seemed unsolveable, everything was fixed but a new problem occured. My Razer Carcharias, and other microphones in my house, don't seem to be registering in my audiojacks.
This wasn't an issue before my reformat, but now suddenly it says in Sound options "Not plugged in" ...

all sounds are working except i can't hear any incoming microphone sound, I've try with Msn, Xfire , TeamSpeak and Ventrilo . Im using the integrated sound from the motherboard , is SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio, Driver 6.10.2.6110 , I've try reinstalling the driver but it didn't fix anything. Please if anyone knows anything about this let me know, I used to talk with people over the net about 5 months ago with this same computer and everything worked .

Front panel microphone and headphone doesn't work Win Vista, I have onboard Realtek HD Audio ALC880, last driver version R1.88. So it work fine Win XP only. I think Vista realtek driver hasn't full support of ALC880?

I have a headset (mic & earphone). I used it on my old system and it worked fine, but now that I've upgraded to Vista x64 it seems to not work. I'm wondering if maybe there is a setting or something that I have missed somewhere?
The problem: I can hear sound coming from it...so no problems there. The sound quality is great just like before..now then, the problem is that the mic seems to not work anymore. No one can hear me and I've tried testing by recording myself and it doesn't play back anything either. I also tried hooking it back up to my old PC and it worked fine...so its definitely a software problem of some sort..

I am having troubles getting my mic/headset to do anything. Ive tried changing every setting that I see but nothing seems to be working. I have a Creative SB X-FI Sound card and I am using the Line In/Digital I/O/Mic In port for my Mic and the Line Out1 for my headset.

I see to be having a rather odd problem with my Vista, Headset Mic, and Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS card. Ive searched and searched for a solution to this problem on this board but nothing seems to working.here's my deal:I have the correct drivers installed for my Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS card.I am able to hear the Mic on my headset loud and clear on both headphones and speakers. This is the weird part. Everything says its connected and working, and yet, STEAM won't detect anything coming from my mic and neither will Sound Recorder in Vista. I can hear the mic perfectly when I un-mute it in playback, but for some really weird reason,none of the software I try to use it with can detect the sound when I speak into it when it can all be heard clearly I have the latest sound blaster drivers for my card and even installed the new beta one for this model and still no luck.

I have a Razer Carcharias gaming headset. It has always worked properly and very well. Now today for some reason the mic on it has decided to stop working. I've checked my sound levels and my boost option, and they are all turned all the way up.
So my question to you is, what should I do next to get this working again? I run my own ventrilo server, so its kind of dumb to do that if I can't even talk on it

I am posting from work, but should have enough information for you guys for a start. I just got a new computer on Friday, and have been having some problems with sound. I have gone to the Asus sight and downloaded the drivers again for the motherboard, and am using onboard sound. I don't recall the exact specifics, but its onboard Realtek. Sound works fine from my speakers, but I have not been able to get the computer to recognize just a standard headset that I was using with my other computer that same day, so I know the headset is working. My setup is Does anyone have any suggestions that would enable my computer to recognize when the headphones are plugged in so that I may use Ventrilo and listen to music?

so I'm running a MSI 790x Plat and Windows Vista x64 everything is plugged in correctly according the the manual, and I have all of my drivers updated, but it still doesnt recognize the headset or head phones for that matter. This headset works on other computers so i know its not the headset. I've asked around and people have told me i might need to enable it in the BIOS, but I've looked around and i don't know how to find it there. So I guess what im asking is if anyone can help me find the setting within the BIOS where i can enable it, or do i have to do something else.

1) Headset plugged into front jacks is not working and it looks like my PC hasn't even sensed the headset bcos I expected it to it ask me about what I have plugged into the jack if it was not sure.
2) Rear speakers are working fine for playbacks. Rear jack microphone is working for recording but the issue is the audio being recorded cannot be heard from speakers. After I stop recording I can play and hear the recording but not while I am recording it.
Has someone faced this and has some solutions for me? Let me make it clear that same hardware works absolutely fine when the OS was XP. I had a fresh Vista install couple of days back on hardware with Intel motherboard, Intel core 2 duo 946GZ Express chipset. I have every possible (also all optional) latest update for the OS. I have installed latest drivers meant for Vista (audio and graphics accelerators) downloaded and installed yesterday from Intel site.

As I was playing a game my speakers stopped and minimized, then my Realtek HD Audio Manager says that my headset is plugged in, I looked to see if it was, it wasn't...and now my sound is muted, I rebooted the computer and there was no change, I closed Realtek Audio Manager down and started it back up and still no change!

Recently when using Skype, my microphone is very scratchy when I am on wireless. I thought that it was the microphone. However, if I am on a hard wired connection, the microphone is fine. Also an external microphone works fine even when I am on the same wireless connection. I am in China, need to talk with family. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. My wife has the same computer and hers works fine on wireless. So I don’t feel that it is the wireless connection.

oh the joys of Vista... once again my microphone isn't working.. it's a front mic.. when I go to configure it it shows TWO front-mics.. why is it showing two when I only have one? and why does it say "working" next to "Rear Mic"?? I don't have a "Rear" mic, whatever that is.... again, main question: why does it show TWO front-mics? (and how do I know which one is the one I have?) (am SO SICK of Vista.. anybody wanna buy a PC? am getting closer and closer to switching to a mac, I swear...)

I have an HP Pavillion DV 2500 with Conexant smart audio, running Home Premium 32bit. Recently, the built-in microphone has stopped working and I am unable to make calls with Skype or to use the Sound recorder, all I hear when I playback is very strong background noise. I tried with headphones with the same result. I tried all the solutions proposed by Skype, test call, mic check etc but ..no luck! I went to Control Panel and Sounds, the microphone is shown as "working" and the driver is correctly installed and updated. I played around with the levels but it doesn't seem to change a thing.....I don't know what to do anymore!

I have seen that there are many issues regarding microphone use in regards to Vista, which is why I suspect this problem does involve Vista.
Basically I bought a new headset microphone, and put it into my sound card slots, as well as my integrated one, but the feedback I receive from the speakers is extremely low.
I have indeed tried the two methods people keep talking about such as going to the Recording Tab, selecting Microphone, going to Levels and adjusting the number between 0-100
And going to Speakers and going to Levels, and doing the same thing.
Both of them are 100%.
Yet the sound is still low, and this happens between my new sound card and my integrated one.

I have Dell Inspiron 1520 and I have issue to built in microphone is not working. I tried to execute the Sigma Tel driver from Dell Driver and Support website but prompted 'Exit Error; Error : Device Object not present, Restart system and run setup. Then, asked Dell support to help and they are not really helpful, after System Restore and drivers upload and finally asked to reformat the laptop........ Anyway, this is what works for me.
1) Download the Sigma Tel driver from Dell Support Drivers page and save it in Desktop
2) Shutdown your computer
3) Start your computer and press F8 at the Dell Logo page
4) Select Safe Mode (not others)
5) Proceed to work on Safe Mode
6) Right-click the Sound icon and activate the Sound icon
7) Select Recording device.
8) If still not working, then execute the Sigma Tel driver that saved in desktop then, shutdown the computer and start as normal, you may see the system able to detect the built in Microphone then.

I've a problem with my on-board SoundMax 1988B (SupremeFxII) in bundle with MB Asus P5E. In Vista64 Ultimate all SoundMax's drivers found (also ASUS_BlackHawk_v30) don't working (error code 10) instead Microsoft's drivers WORKING BUT the microphone don't working. In XP-32bit microphone working ONLY the first time after a clean installation of drivers and software SoundMax, launch Skype and the MIC don't working definitively. Microphone is setting correctly like RECORDING DEVICES but it's "death".
