Built in microphone will not pick up sound for Windows speech recognition

My Dell Inspiron 1545 with a built-in mic, but for some reason any it don't will pick up any sound at all for the Windows speech recognition (Windows Vista).

Hi Matthew,
 
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.

Have you checked to see if the correct settings have been selected for the microphone in the computer?

Try to access the control panel > Sound > Audio. Check the recording tab if the Microphone is on and working. Click on set up and once you see the working driver (i.e., reacts to your voice), right click on it and the default value.

Later try to put in place the program of speech recognition in all programs > Accessories > accessibility > Windows speech recognition and try settings different microphone to the edge we respond to your voice.

You can also try to update the audio drivers. Access the link below and try to download the drivers.

  • iPhone will not connect to iTunes for Windows 7 upgrade

    My iphone 3G shows in my computer, but not in iTunes since upgrade to Windows 7. It is used to recognize the iPhone with a picture of him in the AutoPlay box. Now, instead, it shows a camera.

    I have installed all windows updates. Uninstalled and reinstalled all itunes related programs completely and still can't solve the problem. I plugged the PC of a friend on windows 7 and it appeared that it was in mine in its itunes.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    I found this solution.  My symptoms are that windows 7 64 bit detected my iphone, show it in devices such as cameras and Printers window and would transfer photos on the iphone, but the iphone do not show up in ITUNES.  I followed the suggestion to http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1168298.htm that says basically made a right click of the camera of the iphone, update the driver using the driver to c:\program files Apple Mobile device support\drivers.  The system has added a new device in the devices window and printers, saying: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, once again with the same camera icon.  ITUNES now once more shows my IPHONE and sync up without problem.

  • Will not install SP 1 for Windows Vista error code 800706BE.

    I try to install Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista and it continues to fail with the error code 800706BE and then my security/antivirus software detects a trojan virus. What can I do? As I would like to download the trial version of Office 2010.

    Just open the program (it may be possible from the notification area icon if you have an or there should be an entry in the menu start / all programs for the program) and most of the AV software that I have seen or used the option clearly identified on the main screen or another primary screen if there are tabs or on a toolbar or at worst a deep layer in the options bar menu.  If there are options, clear all.

    Good luck!

  • Active microphone but do not pick up sound on the Samsung QX411-W02UB (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Samsung QX411-W02UB refurbished with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and everything was going a lot until I've decided to try Skype and noticed that the microphone did not work. I'm starting to think that maybe since it is a used laptop, the microphone can just be pulled.
    I downloaded the RealTek HD Audio Driver, enabled in his preferences and set the volume and levels of boost to their maximum values (100% and + 36.0dB, respectively). I have all disabled devices shown, the only other being "Stereo Mix - RealTek High Definition Audio - Ready." I tested the microphone with this second 'device' on and off, inside and outside of Skype.
    Here's what he did:
    The bar on the right side of the active microphone (microphone - Realtek High Definition Audio - Default Device) has a few green flickering bars as if the microphone works for about 1 to 7 seconds, but then everything stops. I spoke directly to the microphone and nothing happens. When I do a test call on Skype with Echo/Sound Test Services, I hear no reading of my voice.
    I made an audio recording of troubleshooting, and it detects no problem (I've seen all the details and they all say "not present delivers". I've also updated everything need be updated (restarts and all).
    So it's pretty much my problem. I wouldn't want to return a laptop because the built-in microphone did not work. I hope I described it well enough. I worked on it for about 6 hours now so my brain becomes blurred and tired at all.
    Is there possible solutions to this problem or it looks like I'll have to use an external mic?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi, thanks for the response.

    I tried to do what you suggested, without success.
    After I posted this, I discovered in fact two other problems with hardware, so it looks like I'll return it.
    Thanks again! I appreciate it.

  • Satellite C650-010 - built in microphone does not

    built in microphone does not work after three weeks. I tried to install the new driver from Toshiba Web site software, but nothing helped. -Webcam with external microphone works well.

    Yesterday, Mike worked for ten minutes, but then cut again.

    Hey,.

    > I tried to install the new driver from Toshiba Web site software
    What driver software that you have installed?
    The microphone belongs to internal webcam, so you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam if internal microphone doesn t work properly.

    > but then cut again.
    Is that mean that the internal MIC is silent? Please check that the windows audio settings if the microphone is classified correctly recorders and set as default device.
