Dell Inspiron 1525 Microphone does not

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built-in microphone. I run on vista. The microphone is not picking up my voice. I went to the control panel. I have made sure it is activated, and all volumes are rising. It is said that SigmaTel Microphone Array works, but that's not true. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled the SigmaTel driver. I did a system restore and that didn't help. The speech recognition does not pick up my voice either. All other sounds work fine, I built in Webcam which works very well, except for the record. But who is also defined on such sigma with all volumes upward. I've had this computer for over a year and the microphone used to work, I think that when I updated something she decided to not work. But I really need my microphone to work, and I am really frustrated because I can't use it. ANY advice would be appreciated thanks!

Hello

Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

After the updated driver.

Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check show disconnected devices
and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight them, then lower right properties. Do
of course the appropriate injector is enabled and check that other settings - on the levels tab make sure MUTE is not checked
and APPLY / OK changes.

Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

  • Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not work with the charger. Charger is not recognized. No problem with charger.

    My Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not recognize charger. And unfortunately my warranty expired 2 months ago.
    It was plugged and work in the morning, but then in the afternoon I noticed he was running on battery only. It does not start without battery (charger just plugged).

    1 this is what I did to debug. Me and my brother, we bought the same computers Dell laptops at the same time a year and a bit ago. That's why a debugging purposes, it was good.
    I took my charger and plugged into his computer. And it works. Certainly not the charger problem I guess. And when I plug the charger my computer, green light is still on the charger. And I have the original charger provided with the laptop.

    2. now, laptop is running on battery only, so that means that this motherboard works. I think so.

    3. the next thing I did was charger disconnected and removed the battery from the laptop. Then I pushed and hold the "Power" button for 45 seconds to pay a royalty to the flea market. Charger plugged in but laptop will not start.

    4. then I booted the laptop on battery, went to the BIOS and check if the charger is recognized in the BIOS. No, it does not recognize charger. So, if this isn't a charger so what else can we?

    5 laptop has no strange smells so I don't know if something happened with the motherboard, but I guess that motherboard is ok because it works battery.

    6. I was thinking of updating the BIOS, but I can't do it, because it will be not be updated then the laptop runs on the battery, it needs to be plugged.

    Now I'm stuck. I don't know what I can do. I'm willing to spend a little more money on it to try to fix.

    If someone had such a problem in the past please let me know what you have done and if it fixed it.
    Or if anyone has any other ideas, I will be happy and appreciated the help.

    Hello and sorry for this late post. Just had this problem... If there is nothing wrong with the AC adapter, it's a software problem.

    Close the laptop... Unplug the AC adapter / CC... Remove the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Go to the control panel... Find and select the Device Manager... Batteries, left click... Uninstall Microsoft AC Adapter, uninstall Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method... In fact, uninstall all you can under the batteries, but that should be all there is. It will be re - install when starting... Stop cell phone... Remove the AC adapter / CC... Replace the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Now, everything should be good.

  • Ultrabook dell inspiron 14z sound does not work

    My Ultrabook Dell Inspiron 14z with windows 8 is about a year and I had no problem. However, since July 11, when my system updated automatically update critical windows my sound has not worked. When I restart the laptop it starts working again, but not sure after how long (or if after connecting to the internet) it stops working again. In my sounds-> record, I saw that Microphone array is selected however microphone is disconnected (it has a red mark on it). Help, please.

    We have recently seen many reports about this sort of thing. Countiss Forum member wrote that it is because of Microsoft...

    «KB2962407 update, which which says it fixed "Shortened battery life when an inactive audio device is not turned off on a computer running Windows".»

    You don't have to do a system restore to get rid the updates; easier to go to Windows Update, view update history. On the top of this screen, click installed updates. Then just right click the update you want to uninstall.

  • Dell Inspiron 15 headset does not

    I bought an Inspiron 15 and my series of headphones does not work with it. Headset is with 2 Sockets, not a combo, but at least I learned that the helmet should work even if the microphone is not. is that correct or do I need a headset with a combo outlet? Thanks Singha

    Hello Singha.

    The Inspiron 3521 uses the same audio driver buggy I mentioned yesterday. An older version of the driver has been reported to work properly, Realtek 6.0.1.6690.

    I suggest that before you install it, first remove your current driver. Select Device Manager (I do not know the path to Win 8 but I think as you go through the settings to access) and look under noise for the Realtek driver controllers. Right-click on it and select uninstall, and don't forget to check the box to delete the files. Reboot and Windows will install its native audio driver. Then just install the older Realtek driver (download the file to the desktop or anything that has win 8, then click on it and leave it to decompress at the default location.) Installing automatically.)

  • Dell inspiron 17r helmet does not connect

    I had the same problem with my Inspiron 5520 a few days after I bought the laptop, I do not know, I had installed the drivers but no audio headphones, connected several headphones, not worked, dell has made Diagnostics at the start several times, opened the page of the bios and looked around different options, redemarrees and voila , I got audio through the headphone jack. don't know really, maybe all this reminded the laptop that he has a helmet too :))

  • My computer Dell Inspiron 14 3452 does not illuminate.

    When I press the button power I hear it loading upward and the light. The screen is completely black and then I hear 7 loud beeps and it stops, and then repeat the beeps again and again.  What is the problem and can it be resolved?

    This means a bad CPU or mainboard - if the system is under warranty, contact Dell for repair.  Otherwise, you can always do it but expect a charge of about $300.

  • Inspiron 1525 - Windows 8 - microphone does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem: I have Dell inspiron 1525, originally it had Windows vista, I installed window 8, now the microphone laptop does not work. If I try to access Dell Support Section, drivers & downloads, I can only choose between Vista and XP. I would be very grateful for help.

    Kazik

    Hello. I would first try the Vista version of the Sigmatel audio driver. Install it using compatibility mode. Reference Dell it lists as being a 32-bit driver, so it might not work even in compatibility mode but it's worth it.

    If this one fails to install then try the version XP of Sigmatel, once again in compatibility mode.

    Answer if you don't know how to use the compatibility mode.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 primer not - please help!

    Hello, I hope someone can help me because my computer is no longer under warranty.  Thursday, my Dell Inspiron 1525 (bought in 2008) under the Vista operating system worked perfectly.  No problem at all.  Friday morning, I went to turn on the computer and turn on the 2 blue lights lower-left (the power and one next to it), the computer sounds like he's going to start and then it beeps once and dies.  He will continue to do over and over all a few seconds until I turn the unit off manually.

    I tried the trick out the battery and the power cord, press the power button and then connect the battery and cord, but it still does not work.  The computer will not start up using just the cord (and not the battery) and vice versa.  Anyone have any ideas on what might happen, or how I could solve this problem?

    Thank you in advance for any help you may offer.
