Equium M50-216: cannot save or use the microphone or "phone entries

I have an Equium M50-216, with 1 GB of RAM & Centrino 1.7 GHz processor, running XP Home.

Without apparent reason, I am suddenly unable to use my SKYPE USB ' phone to talk. Audio output is perfect, however.

I also tried my helmet using the jack on the front of the laptop, with the same result.

I downloaded and installed the latest driver for the sound card, which is a Realtek AC97. I tried the test equipment of Windows, but there is no evidence of entry he built in sound recorder, audio, or in windows.
The device driver is properly enabled and reported no problems.

Is it a hardware problem - as it seems card works OK for output?
Is it a Windows problem - I can achieve a reformatting the drive & re-install of XP soon - it would help?

Roger.

Hello

As far as I understand your problem, you are not able to use the external microphone. Am I wrong?
You mean that it's a hardware problem, hmmm I n t think so.
To me, it looks like a wrong setting

Please check if the microphone is activated. This should be verified in the--> sound & audio devices Control Panel.
On the volume tab, press the Advanced button.

In the options settings, you can switch between the playback volume controls & record.
Please check everything!

  • Re: Equium M50-216 - lines across the screen

    Hi my Equium M50-216 has lines across the screen and low who go up and down the screen.
    There is no picture it s just white.

    If I plug it into an external monitor I get a fine display on the monitor is so the screen is defective or something else?
    I think that the inverter is ok because it of bright and not dull.

    See you soon

    I agree with Luke.

    If the image on the external monitor is ok then the graphics card should be ok.
    If an FL inverter would be defective then everything would be visible, but just a little more dark and as behind a fog

    In your case, it looks like a display problem

    I think you should ask a technician for replacement laptop

  • How to record what is happening by the sound card without using the microphone to avoid loss of quality.

    I tried, but there is no "Stereo mix" available options. There is only the (Conexant High Definition Audio) Microphone. It did not work. What I'll do is to buy a DVD for TV (tv Record program) burner and plug the hdmi cable from my computer to the DVD recorder and record what I want. After that, I just rip the audio from the file. I see no other option to do. I use windows vista Home premium.

    I would like to know how I can record the sound that is played by the soundcard using Vista without using the microphone as a source. Let's say the audio is played (audio stream) and I want to record this stream. There are many software that we can download that record what is happening in the microphone. The sound bounces off the speakers to the microphone. But when this happens, you lose a lot of the quality of the audio. So my question is if it is possible to record what is happening to the right of the sound card, before being sent to the sound card in order to avoid the loss of audio quality.

    ==============================
    Movie Maker has an option to record Narration...
    (Tools / tell the chronology). If you select stereo mix
    as the "Audio Input Source", you can save the
    Audio online. Your speakers and microphone are
    not required.

  • iOS device is prompting to use the microphone?

    I submitted an app for Apple and he rejected for the following reason: "During the review, we have been asked to provide consent to use the microphone, however, we were not able to find features or features that use the microphone for recording audio."

    Apparently, my application requires the device to use the microphone. However, I did program a feature that uses the microphone.

    My application only if, have sound, however, does not have programmed in microphone features. This question has never happed before and may be the case on iOS devices 7.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Equium M50-216

    Hello

    I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive in my M50-216, which currently has a MK4026GAX. The player that I am most interested is the MK8032GAX. Is this a suitable replacement, that is going to work?

    A few questions:

    1. I guess it's just a case of withdrawal of the current drive, mortising the new one and start using my Toshiba restore CD? This will reinstall the Norton junk as well?

    2. assuming I have remove the current without shape, i.e. I leave it as it is, I suppose that if I find the new drive does not work I'll be able to put the former back in and it will start like nothing happened? I'm not changing any other material.

    3. it will work as a trolley suitable for the old disk: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=414030

    4. the most important question will be affecting my current standard warranty, or assign an extension of warranty if I choose to buy a more this year?

    Thank you
