Even with maximum volume and 30 dB boost, mic is quiet

I have the volume of the microphone on the max (100) setting and the boost to 30DB, yet, it is still too quiet to listen too. I want to record video, but when I arrived to do I noticed this problem. It happens with three different helmets and I reinstalled the drivers Realtek HD audio as many times, different versions too. I also reinstalled my windows 7 ultimate 64-bit... all of this without result.

So the problem is either in 64 - bit windows or the Realtek Audio drivers, but surely most of the versions of the audio drivers Realtek HD are not buggy are?
It is also a problem with my laptop that has the same operating system on it. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
It is not recording software I used, I tried the recorder Microsoft, audacity and fraps. Who are they all register me with next to no volume, you can barely hear me.

What you save with?

Check the Realtek audio Manager for any special options.

Make sure that the microphone is plugged into the Microphone port and not Line In.
Try to speak directly into the microphone.

During the test, look at the list of recording devices to check the entry level.

  • My computer volume gets quiet, even at maximum volume, without apparent reason.

    Sometimes without reason tanks of volume on my computer and I cannot understand why. I'll change the main volume up, but nothing changes, and I will increase the volume of what I'm listening (it is more than a program, it does so it is not question of the program, but I mostly listen to Netflix or talking on Skype).

    Finally, it corrects itself, but it's very, very quiet to the point where I can't hear who I'm talking about and turn on the subtitles on Netflix.

  • Firefox refuses to stop the blocking of pop-up windows - up, even with added exceptions and blocker completely disabled.

    I work in a facility that uses a corporate intranet to access our database. The database uses windows pop up widely important information. Problem is that Firefox absolutely will NOT stop block popup windows no matter what I try. At first I added our database server to the list of exceptions. It worked for a while, but soon after resumption of the important pop-up blocking. I then completely disabled the blocking of popup windows (options > > content > > unchecked "block popup windows"). It did not work until I closed and reopened Firefox. A week later (today!), Firefox takes over again blocking the pop-up windows. I double checked my settings to confirm that Firefox still claims to have the popup blocker off.
    At this point, I am at a loss on how to proceed. I looked at other issues similar and my frustration (and certainly their even more), individuals requesting repeatedly told them to turn off the blocker of popups even after explaining that they already have. Help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks for the description of the Firefox Safe Mode. I just thought that Safe Mode is a condition under which we could launch Windows XP in a minimal operating system by starting a startup sequence, hold down the F8 key and effectively manage the prrams troubleshooting and maintenance for Windows. It seems that the Windows XP of Firefox version could run not affected by a virus, a worm or other malware, and ge fixed.

    Please try this Linux distribution. They are many, and I'm a fan.

  • PIXMA MG5320 stopped printing black even with new cartridge and a deep cleaning. The colors are OK.

    Some time previously, failure to print quality settings, black would go a little weak on the last few lines of a full page of text. If there are more pages, each would start very well but have the same poor quality near each bottom of page. I changed the setting of the standard high quality & the problem seemed fixed. Just course several days showed poor quality at the bottom of the pages. Today, black does not print. I did 2-3 deep cleanings with a new cartridge, but still no black. Color printing very well. I need to replace the print head?

    Hi PMHilton,

    Given that black ink is printing is no longer and to replace the ink tank and perform deep cleanings have not solved the problem, the printer may require repair.  We ask that you call please 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00-10: 00 ET (excluding holidays) for assistance.  A Canon technical support representative will be happy to help you.  There is no charge for this call.

  • Why do I get a huge number of samples even with small flow and execution time

    I use the express Signal as my data acquisition software. NI9239 Daq is data acquisition system is my data acquisition equipment. Problem I have is, regardless of the data rate and the number of samples, I put, I get a lot of samples. for example I put the flow to 10 samples per second, and the number of samples to 600 (in continuous mode) I get more than 64000 samples where I should only get 600 samples total.  I tried to adjust the flow to 10 Hz and number of sasmples at 10, it gives me an error indicating that the data buffer overrun. Does anyone know a way around it?

    all responses are much appreciated.

    Hi odessy27,

    Maybe you can use the > Analog > step subset and resampling to resample the data at a lower sampling rate.

  • My laptop volume is very low, even with the maximum setting. It also has a very annoying echo

    I tried every setting available on this laptop, go all together if not try several changes in all settings. The volume is still low and has a very annoying reverberation and echo effect, even with these settings turned off. I got it for a week, and I was very happy with any other accept the audio. The reasons for buying this model were media processing and so far I have and become more disgusted daily with her. It is a Pavilion dv6 and it has beat audio software. If anyone has a solution, it would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    One thing that can help is the following.  Do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".  Left click the device once to highlight default (it is usually 'speakers and headphones') and then click the properties button.  Click the enhancements tab and put a check mark in the box "Loudness equalization.  Click on apply to save the changes and then click OK in all other windows and see if allowed at all.

  • life cam3000, I sound even when the volume is turned off and I want to record from the input card.

    Hi and thanks for your support.

    The lifecam 3000 is ideal for photography, but I can't find a way to change the settings for audio,

    and also, I have only the settins wmv for video.

    I search the Web for a program that can do both, but with no good result.

    I HAVE TRY TO DΘSACTIVER THE MICROPHONE, but the cam is not work whitout it.

    Even if the volume of the microphone to * 0 * I hear coming from the microphone of the camera...

    I want to playing me video drum but earing the microphone cam make a sound broooooov.

    With all that CV and a counter to delay the start and stop sewing,.

    a program and a complete cam and one of the best on the market for the price.

    I must say that I am running with vista 32B.

    Sincerely, Stensonn.

    If equipment has replaced the onboard audio hardware, the BIOS should then be edited, disable

    the integrated audio controller. If or other configurations exist, then we can use both, for to do, with only old

    installed audio hardware, Vista, mgr open the device, scroll down to sound, expand the tree, look for the hardware, R.click

    in this regard, select "Uninstall", output device mgr, pc shutdown... Install the new card, start the pc, enter the BIOS, disable the old, start

    Vista. Install new, install any drivers/software, vista installs auto... Once through, restart pc 2 X or so, once through, at startup.

    enter in BIOS, select old material, exit, install vista it automatically. The only problem, both are installed, but can only be

    run at a given time. It is / was average XP, probably the same vista. You can go to run, type: DXDIAG to run the

  • Get the mistakes reached Maximum Volume Snapshots, trying to convert VMDK XP system hotcloning with converter last worm

    Hi I get this error reaches Max Volume Snapshots re trying to convert VMDK XP system with converter hotcloning latest version 5.5.1. Error results in the conversion of a physical machine to fail at 1%.

    I'm trying to convert a drive with a dual boot XP - 2 Xps on it for a Player 6 - a VMware VMDK as a C partition with W98SE original who no longer use.  The C partition has the bootloader boot ini for the dual Xps located on J and I have partitions.  Other partitions on disk cloning whole (need set as Xps access these disks at startup are: D, E: Docs program and shared (a logon for XP user profiles) and F, G and H (contains HD virtual 98SE VirtualPC) partitions.)

    I'm running a chkdsk /f /r on all partitions and deleted snapshots of volume system (from system restore) and disabled the system restore in case that is the question.  I also tried to disable firewall as shown in the manual and stop several 3rd party services to run.  Do not use additional options when cloning.  Target is a 1 to free space (more copy partitions/disc) on a USB external drive '3 '.

    I tried also with just J and no Partition selected with others and same error so not deliver the prob a system double - but do not know if the two will be not bootable in Vm together via boot ini choose as yet have on the physical machine.  Anyone know if this still works as a dualboot on VM or should I be cloning each with C separately like J or I become C as their drive letters are associated with many years of program installs don't want again.  Not sure if can fix these at the same time to be able to start or if on separate drives in the VM and always have access to all other partitions of two Xps - someone knows how to do better?

    Also re my mistake - it's mainly what need fixed so he can achieve it - or it will be allowed to do this conversion coldclone via Windows 8.1 I on another drive - however C drive I need appears as a V as W81 is C on the host.  This will allow even a dual boot VM or at least one of the Xps or bootable drive v - maybe if I move it to C partition 1st position when copying VMDK?  Please keep in mind I have no job and only will use VmWare Player 6 or try in VirtualBox or Hyper-V on the host Windows Pro 8.1 if VmWare Player fails.

    Thank you, but I had already done this and always says without clichés or none - questions - after even managed to fix my COM + install as well.

    Alternative SOLUTION for those who have problems making their host Xp Vm hotclone

    I finally used MOA Cold Clone ISO converter to make a virtual machine of my XPs and related partitions and now finally it seems to work after the configuration of the virtual machine created with the latest Vmware converter 5.5.1 (just to add Vmware Tools and remove selected restore points) via my host Windows 8.1 (such that it is impossible to configure via MOA but fact VM thin image).

    Anyone with problems of manufacturing since their host XP VM and if want to make a VMware Player image - search the Internet for MOA Cold Clone converter (it uses a worm old VMware Converter 3 that allows cold cloning, I think that later to not)-it was relatively easy to install and use.

    I could also dual boot via the boot ini file as before my 2 XP systems.

    Make sure you just prΘconfiguration your ini file to start I did before the virtual machine to the physical host partition is on - I've added a few other partitions to start from tests in case of boot partition number has changed as he did.

    For example: my Xp scores came after the 1st Partition C (boot ini containing the partition) and also a 2nd Partition - D and 3rd Partition - E (I left out F and G as agreed is no need as on the host) so my first XP became Partition 4, then 5 other XP Partition so in boot ini, I had put this :

    [boot loader]

    Timeout = 10

    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (5) \WINDOWS

    [operating systems]

    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (5) \windows="XP Pro SP3 HAND J - C Bootini "/ EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (4) \windows="XP REPLACEMENT / OLDER I DRIVE - ADMIN USE ONLY - repair/rescue/Backup "/ PAE USERVA 2560/fastdetect/noexecute = OptIn

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (6) \windows="TEST PARTITION 6" / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (7) PARTITION 7 "\windows="TEST / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (8) \windows="TEST SCORE 8" / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (9) \windows="TEST PARTITION 9" / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

    Test scores from 4 as I thought new shoe that would be 4, then 5 and then others added in case

    You will need to change the number depending on how much other partitions are in front of your XP ones.

    I used free Easeus Partition Manager to control the order of the partitions I was cloning the drive.

    A free EasyBCD allows you also to modify and label your partitions to change your boot.ini file easily once you start in the right partition to boot ini that you set up above and before that you do / clone your Virtual Machine.

    Note: the boot ini can only contain a limited number of registrations or bloodlines tests then you partition carefully probably not exercising that your operating system will be on after cloning a Vm.

  • Re: Looking for a laptop with backlight keyboard and volume dial?

    It's time to replace my Satellite Pro L100 to a new.

    I'm looking for a model (any model not only satellite) who have these 2 features: backlit keyboard and volume knob.

    I know A500 a backlit keyboard and a touch screen with the volume buttons, but I guess that these buttons work only when windows is started (I want the ability to control the volume "offline" before windows starts)

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    AFAIK the Qosmio has also keyboard backlight and volume wheel series. Did you check that?

    But like Garrett said the volume button works if Windows is started. On my Qosmio F50 I can only use if Windows is started, but normally I don t need this feature before Windows is not started.

    Good bye

  • Problems with recording / playback volume and record length

    I turned up the logging level in the in the Audio section on the Control Panel, but that sound recorder (Windows) in entertainment relit at very low volume.  My headset with microphone and speakers work very well for Skype calls, so I think that the microphone is ok.

    Also, is it possible to save more than a minute?

    Thank you

    Hello Tjansen,

    Thank you for your message.  Please, try the following steps:
    Double-click on the taskbar of the speaker icon > click on 'Options' > select 'properties '.
    Make sure that the 'Micro' and 'PC speakers' have check marks.
    In addition, ensure that your output device and Microphone are not silent by displaying the mute boxes on each category
    You can then adjust the volume coming out of your microphone with the volume slider, you can adjust the bass etc.
    To do this, click on 'Options' > select 'advanced controls '.
    With respect to the registration of more than one minute, you can follow the steps below as a workaround, or you can download a 3rd party program that performs the actions you have requested.
    Allow the recorder record silent for 60 seconds.  Click 'Edit' > 'Copy' > click 'Edit' > 'Paste' > 'Insert '.
    This will add 60 more seconds. Click on "Edit" > "Paste" > "Insert" as many times as you need. Save as a file 'model' (name it something like long record.wav)
    Then, when you want to save something for more than 60 seconds, open the long record.wav file and instructions on the existing (virgins).
    Make sure that you save the new record with a new file name.

    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon
