external MIC does not

recently bought a zalman zm-mic1 mic for my laptop dell xps15 l521x and when I plug to the headphone jack (headphones not) we can see that it has been plugged, but doesn't recognize it anywhere. I've been in the settings and it is not seen. even if I click on "Show disabled devices" he does not appear. How can I fix?

The L521x model has a regular headphone jack more taking combo of the variety "smart phone." These combined plugs work with another ordinary or 'smart phone' helmet headsets, the kind that combine the headphones and the microphone in a single segmented plug 4 instead of taking 3 normal segment. They do not work with regular plugs mic because these cards do not mate correctly and does not work with devices on line because the entry of jack combo isn't only mono, stereo.

Here is a picture of a smart phone headset that works with a combo Jack. Notice the segmented 4 plug.

You can do a regular mic or headphones ordinary wodk in decision-making by getting an adapter. Here is a screenshot of a boyfriend of helmet called:

There is another headset buddy adapter that looks like but that is the wrong kind in the screen below.

  • Satellite L50-B916 - recording external Microphone does not work

    Hello

    Connect an external microphone to * Headphone\Microphone combo socket *, still records through portable microphone instead of externally. Registration of external Microphone does not work.

    What Miss me? Please notify.

    Model: L50-B916

    I can't say with certainty what may be wrong here, but two things confuse me:
    -somehow your external MIC is obviously not detected because in the case when the external microphone is connected laptop switches automatically to it
    -I don't understand why there are two identical entries under recording devices.

    When I connect my headphone it is always a single entry (Conexant SmartAudio HD default unit), but my machine automatically goes to the external microphone only.

    Have you tested the feature with some applications like Skype?

  • EliteBook 1020: External keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker

    We had a few HP 1020 and 1040: models recently, and all have the same question. When the laptop is connected, the external keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker. It works in the BIOS and in Windows itself, but not in Bitlocker. This means that we must open the laptop screen to enter the Bitlocker pin, then let it open and GPO that dictates the computer into hibernation when the lid is closed. We have twisted the GPO, but in vain. Anyone else seen elsewhere or a solution?

    If the bios is up to date, I would look at the BIOS settings. I think that Fast Boot is enabled in your case, this may cause usb devices not to see in the stadium that BitLocker requires

    Hi @Jake08,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and questions with external screen works not properly. You can try this without the connected external monitor.

    In Device Manager, click the arrow next to display adapters to expand this category
    Right-click on the graph, and then select Update driver software if more than 1 graphic adapter do 1 at a time.
    Select search automatically for updated driver software.

    The laptop must find and automatically install the updated driver
    Once the installation is complete, restart your laptop.

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    Satellite L555 - 10 M

    Hello

    It seems that the internal MIC (beside the web camera) does not work, because I can not save anything.
    I tried the windows audiorecorder application, Skype application, and one any of them can record my voice.

    The external microphone works fine, so I think the software using windows setup and the definition realtek HD audiomanager are OK.

    How can I check if it is really a hardware problem?

    Coul you please help me?
    Thank you!

    > I tried the windows audiorecorder application, Skype application, and one any of them can record my voice.

    Have you tested the internal mic in relation to the installed webcam software?
    Means do because the internal microphone belongs to the internal webcam.
    In addition, you should check the settings in the control panel-> sound-> recording tab
    The internal microphone should be selected as the default device.
    If the internal MIC is not listed it right click and check the options: Show hidden and disabled devices.

  • External microphone does not work - HP G62 Windows 7

    Hi all

    My microphone works fine. Also, if I plug in a headset, his mic works fine as well.

    However, I tried to use an external microphone like this:

    but it does not work on my laptop HP G62, although it works perfectly on a PC.

    I'm running on Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Any tips?
    Thank you

    heheheh... Sorry, I was wrong! I've changed the mic to stop rather than switch!
    The word 'on' should appear when you switch, not disappear.

  • Mavericks on external partition does not start

    Hello

    I'm trying to implement the Mavericks on a partition on my external hard drive. Found several good guides on how but can't seem to boot from it.

    I created a Mavericks install USB and started one. I deleted the partition (guid partition map and extended journaled) where I wanted to install the Mavericks ran through the facility and said it will re-start automatically that it did.

    However it is started on my internal drive with OS X 10.11.4.

    The partition where the Mavericks has been installed is displayed in the Finder.

    The partition where the Mavericks has been installed is displayed as a virtual disk in system preferences, but when Source selected to restart, but after rebooting, it does not appear.

    When I hold the ket Option initially upwards, it does not seem to me to choose.

    I retried with 'createinstallmedia' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 and Diskmaker, but the same results.

    How can I solve why it why it seems installed, but is not a bootable disk?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Also...

    I use a partition of 100 GB of the Mavericks on a backup drive Seagate to Office for Mac 4.

  • Z830 - pad digital satellite on the external keyboard does not work

    Hello

    I tried to get an external keyboard (USB) to work with my Z830 running Win 7 (64-bit). I've tried three different keyboards to USB in ports and also a wireless keyboard.

    The keyboard works fine, but I can't the numeric keypad right of the keyboard to work.
    It allows me to move the screen IE when the NUMLOCK is turned off but when the NUMLOCK is turned on, it does nothing.

    I looked in the bios and changed the parameters relating to the features of legact and also the numlock option, but to no avail. The numeric keypad on the keyboard worked on other machines.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ash

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure that all this, but my hypothesis is code KBC m is missing in the BIOS.
    Satellite/Portege Z830 keyboard does not support keypad so maybe that's the reason why the numeric keypad on the keyboard can not be activated.

  • External storage does not work after firmware update

    I've updated my ix2-200 for the latest firmware. After that, my NAS does not detect the external hard drive when I connect to it. I need to plug in the HDD and restart the NAS, this way to detect the SIN, but is not a good solution, because maybe someone is its access to the NAS.

    With the old firmware, I connected and disconnected the external drive without any problems.

    Is there a solution? If there is none, is it possible to Flash an older firmware?

    on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.
