Built in mic on acer aspire one does not

The microphone on my acer aspire one netbook does not work. I am running windows XP on the netbook and had this problem once before some time back, but can't remember what the person tech told me to uninstall that does the job all of a sudden again. I use also the audio if it helps Realtek HD. I tried several times to update the drivers and reinstall the software from the acer site, it does not work... any suggestions?

Hello

Thank you for your message.

I see that you are facing problems with the built-in microphone.

Let's not worry! I'm here to help.

Quick questions:

1. what exactly happens when you use the built-in microphone? You receive an error message?

2. What is the status of the device in Device Manager?

Check out this link to learn more about device manager:

By using Device Manager

http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/snap_dev_mgr.mspx?mfr=true

Let's try the following and check:

Method 1:

We will adjust the volume of your microphone and check if it is set as default.

(a) right click on the "speaker" icon located on the bottom right corner the screen of the taskbar.

(b) click on sounds, click on the recording tab.

(c) click Microphone, and then click Properties. (Note to make sure that this work appears under Microphone. If the job does not appear, click on Microphoneand then click set as default.)

(d) in the Properties of the Microphone dialog box, click the custom tab.

(e) select or clear the check box Amp Microphone .

(f) click the levels tab.

(g) set the slider for the volume to the desired level, and then click OK.

(h) click on OK to close the sound dialog box.

Method 2:

I would also say that you update the drivers for your Microphone and looking for the issue.

  • My Acer Aspire R14 does not start with the cord of the charger plugged in with the battery connected to

    A few weeks ago, my laptop Acer Aspire R14 went totally blank. When I unplugged the power cord, it started right to the top, but at the moment where I plugged the power cord back inside would be closed. The battery dies quickly in this way, because it would not charge. I removed the battery then it started upward with the power cord. I thought it must be the battery, so I installed a new battery. which is not to change the problem.

    So, I ordered a new motherboard and after a few weeks, I received it today, installed, and I have always the same thing. It works well with the power cord plugged in until the battery is disconnected. But at the time wherever I connect the battery, everything stops, not to be revived unless I disconnect the battery.

    I need help! What could be the problem?

    Glad I could help.

    Hi Markprentice,

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the system?

    ·         Have you defined a plan of power on laptop?

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Well, I have a 5515 Acer Aspire running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. It hasent been working lately (VISTA USUALLY START!). I have no idea what my BIOS password. In any case, I have a never used Windows Vista Ultimate not copy to level. Can I pop in my computer and without starting Vista, (re) install vista? PLEASE HELP ME!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You can't get in your version of Vista has to do an upgrade, you need a license Ultimate FULL Vista to do a clean install, not an ultimate upgrade license.

    Have an Acer Aspire One D270. I've had for about 4-5 months now. Today it suddenly has stopped and it won't turn on. I left for a few hours but nothing yet. I thought it was a battery problem but the charging light does not turn. I know for sure, it is not the charger. Please help me! Thanks in advance!

    [Moved from comments]

    Nevermind found the solution...                                                                                                              Follow the steps below. (Please be careful when you handle the electrical components of the computer such as batteries and power adapters)

    • Remove the battery and hold the power for a few seconds (drain any remaining power)
    • Turning on the computer without the battery with the AC adapter is plugged in.
    • Wait a few seconds and then reconnect the battery

    After a few tries the computer should start normally supported. The amber battery stops flashing and turns green when fully charged.

    Hello

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

    a. turn off the laptop completely.

    b. remove the battery from the bottom.

    c. leave the battery of the laptop for 5-10 minutes.

    d. plug the adapter into the laptop (still remove the battery).

    e. turn on the system and let it fully boot in Windows.

    f. once it arrives on the desktop to launch all startup items. In other words, do not interrupt the boot process until everything is prepared.

    g so go ahead and shut down the computer normally (using the START > turn off computer method).

    h. once the system is turned off, plug the battery back in and turn on the computer.
