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.
Microphone Wont Connect permalink. i got a brand new laptop a dell inspiron and i've been using my microphone on it for awhile but every time i plugged it in it would have a pop up asking me if it was a microphone or other things. so accidently i clicked dont show this pop up again and now my mic wont work properly. what can i do to make it work right?
I would like to run a software where I'm supposed to use a headset and need to hear what I'm saying in the microphone in the headphones.The microphone is working, and so are the headphones, but I can't get the feedback. This is easyto solve in XP, but I can't find out how to do it in XP.
1. Had to do windows update three times before it got them all. I had just done the other day the updates for march. The first update had 8 updates in it. Update number two had one update in it. Update number three had one update in it.
2. Had to do the WGA and did pass.
3. Then the SP1 update showed up in the Window Updates and started the download. Size was about 175.mb.
4. Had to reboot after the install. During windows shut down it stop to do some more installing of the SP1 update. It has 3 stages.
A. Stage one went somewhat fast. B. Stage two went real slow up to about 12% then went fast and stop and stalled at 100% for some time. C. Never seen Stage three.
5. Os rebooted and during the restart of windows just before the desktop shows up it started installing Stage three and went somewhat fast. After the desktop came on they was a lot of hard drive activity.
6. The first thing that I seen is that AVG did not restart. I just started it my self and all was good.
Things I seen after install and reboot.
I now have this icon in the lower right about some Customer Experience program that want's to run but you have to say yes to turn it on.
Under the Device manager I now have an error under Built-in-Infrared Device. ( No big deal)
Under the Task manager my Processes came back up to 54 and memory is running at 50% up from what I had it dwon to, 41 processes running & Physical Memory is 33% so it looks as if it went back in and turned some things back on or added some things.
I will have to google all the processes to find what is what.
So far this is all I have seen but then have not been running the SP1 but just a few. I will post as I find more things good or bad. I figure it will take a few reboots and some system maintenance to get the boot back up to par.
I'll be composing an e-mail and once I'm done hit or click "Send" and the e-mail will get sent. I have verified this by checking in the "Sent" folder as well as by receiving OOTO replies as a result. The problem is that the e-mail window sometimes doesn't get closed and I'm not notified that the e-mail was sent. I haven't been able to establish consistent repro steps but I've seen it happen not infrequently.
I am having quite some issues with a new computer that we got for our company's director. It is an HP Pavilion Media Center m8325f Elite. Although it comes with Windows Vista Home edition, we bought the upgrade to Windows Vista Business edition. Once we installed this upgrade, we started having a blue screen every other time we reboot this computer. The error code that we get ( 0x0C5 ) talks about a driver that got corrupted. There are some articles in your site that suggests choosing a specific starting mode to identify which driver is the one that tries to use a page outside its pool.
It is not even a month since we bought the computer, and now we are having another kind of blue screen in which Windows complains about a specific antivirus file that got corrupted.
Ballmer says MS will keep XP if there is customer feedback, but he says he is not getting any to keep it. How to I send him or MS an email asking them to keep selling and supporting XP? Vista (I have it and do not use it) is a DOG and bloated resource hogging POS. XP is the greatest OS MS ever produced and I would like to give Ballmer that feedback.
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)
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 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" ...
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 a laptop with a built in microphone. when I want to skype with my friends I can see and hear them but they just can see me. sometimes they dont even hear me and sometimes very quiet. I have vista home basic and well I dont know I am not able to hit the default button when I want to change something on the playback devices.
I am having a bad microphone problem. I have a Maximus Formula II with a Supreme FX Audio Card (Which I just got the latest updates off Asus.com) Quad Core Pc with Vista x64 My computer recognizes my Microphone but yet I cant record anything, use vent, or teamspeak. I checked all the volume controls and none of the settings have my mic muted. It was just working until 2 weeks ago.
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 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'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".
In 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.
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 .
The sound level recorded with my microphone is very low. I have tried to change the mic level but Windows will put it back to 47%, without allowing me to put the level up to 100%.Does anybody know why?
I recently Got vista home premium 64 bit and my microphone is not working. It says microphone is connected and working. (not a headset), but it is not recieving any sound. My speakers do work. I have a x-48 ds4 motherboard, by the way. All drivers are updated, it just doesn't work.
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.
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?
This worked for me before but I messed it up. I used to be able to record the sound coming from my computer and play it to my microphone right away as it goes. Meaning when I record something, it would record whatever is playing on the computer. But I forgot how to make that setting.
