Microphone Won't Work With
Sep 26, 2009I 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.
Microphone Does Not Work
Jun 25, 2008I'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)

Jun 25, 2009Recently 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.

Jun 8, 2008oh 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...)

Aug 11, 2009I 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" ...
Built-in Microphone Not Working
Aug 24, 2009I 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!

Jun 21, 2008I 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.

Apr 7, 2009I 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.
Headset Microphone Detected But Won't Work
Oct 26, 2008I 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSound Recording: Only Allows To Record From Microphone
Apr 14, 2008In XP I could record audio with sound recorder from anything I could hear. For example, if I was playing a WAV file, or listening to a song on the internet, I could record it. Now in Vista it only allows me to record from my microphone. I checked disabled devices and still can not get anything but the microphone to show up. Is there anyway around this besides sticking an audio cable from the headphone jack into my mic input? So far Vista has me aggravated with things I have lost, you would think a newer operating system would allow you more flexibility, not take it from you.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMicrophone Not Working In Front Or Rear Panel
Aug 4, 2008I have a really annoying issue with Vista Ultimate SP1.
My PC specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 Ghz
Nvidia 680i SLI PCI-E
2x Geforce 6800 GS
HD Realtek Audio (onboard)
4.0 GB RAM
My issue is that I can't get any non-USB microphone to be picked up on any input, front or rear panel. I have installed the newest Realtek Audio HD drivers (2.00) and just recently did a fresh install of Vista with SP1 thinking that that would solve the issue. My system is fully up to date according to Windows Update.
However, though the sound manager realizes when I plug in a microphone, there is absolutely no level of input no matter how much I yell into it. I have two separate microphones (both working on other computers i.e my laptop's Vista install) which are not picked up at all.
I have cross checked and triple checked that the sound settings are all unmuted and corresponding within Realtek's sound manager as well as Vista's. This solves nothing. There is still no recognition of a working mic.
I am totally stumped as the microphone used to work on Vista when I had the automatic HD Audio Driver installed from Microsoft and then suddenly stopped. However, I have since tried to revert to the old driver but to no avail.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCannot Re-enable DEP
Mar 23, 2008I have trouble playing all of my 3 AOEIII games as DEP is stopping it and/or protection stub (it happens with both). I found the John Barrett page on after doing a Google, and it explained how to disable the DEP for such problems, which I did. It also gave the re-enable process as well. I have tried to re-enable the DEP about 5 or 6 times now, following word for word what John Barrett has suggested for re-enabling DEP but to no avail.
It just will not enable? It's all greyed out and nothing works. Before I had to reformat last night, what I did was 'turn on DEP for all programs except those I select' and this worked once I had pointed DEP in the direction of the games and the other program that would not work. However, I cannot do anythig at all with the DEP now and I just don't know what the hell to do? Can anyone offer some kindly advice please, to a relative newb who knows nothing about this type of thing?
How Do I Enable Aero?
May 15, 2010I no longer have Aero theme enabled, and, I can't select it from the list. This has started after I had to format my drive and install Vista all over. Everything else with it seems just fine. Only this "Windows Vista Transparency" is not working. There is only one place I can think of to enable it at, and it is not there. Do I need to install some updates?
There should be another option there "Windows Vista Ultimate" I think, but I could be wrong.
But how do I enable transparency and all of the other effects of Aero?
How Enable Hyperthreading?
Feb 22, 2009Vista ultimate sp1. I upgraded the P4 processor. Enabled hyperthreading in the bios. PCwizard says the system can do hyperthreading, but it's disabled. Benchmarks indicate this is true. If I reload vista from scratch, hyperthreading is enabled and works. Benchmarks much better. I really don't want to have to reinstall from scratch. Is there a way to enable hyperthreading without a reinstall?
