HP Pavilion 17-f115dx: a USB Microphone works on a HP Pavilion 17?

Hi, I've learned that Microphones do not work on HP, as said to helmet catch. So, I wanted to buy a new blue snowball that is powered by USB. My question is that if it works, so I'm not wasting my money.

And please press, that it is for sale

Hi there @andyfragz ,

Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It's a great site for information and questions.

I have here a document that shows you the specifications appropriate for your HP Pavilion Notebook f115dx 17. If you look at the page you will notice under external Ports, you have;

  • 2 ports USB 3.0 superSpeed
  • 1 universal Serial Bus USB 2.0 Port.

It depends on the specifications of the Blue Snowball USB device. Make sure before you buy that it is compatible with the USB 3.0 Ports or the Ports USB 2.0 and make sure that there is a specific driver for your 64-bit Windows 8.1 available for the Blue Snowball USB device.

If they match specifications and there is a specific driver that is compatible with your operating system, it should work.

Re-post and let me know how it goes.

Thank you

  • HP Pavilion DV6 3070TX - Microphone works on tape but not Skype

    Hi team,

    I did a bit of trawling through previous posts but have not found an answer that fits my scenario. This is a brand new laptop (HP dv6-3070TX) and the internal microphone works great on tape, however I can not be heard by others on Skype and the test recording easier on Skype is not read my voice. I hope it's a simple question, repairable and someone has an answer for me.

    See you soon.

    Sorry team. I'm a twit. There was an audio setting on Skype, which has been set at an external microphone - not internal. Changed and all is good.

  • The Yeti USB Microphone Blue is compatible with iPad Air?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Yeti USB Microphone blue after reading was consistent with an iPad (iOS 9.2) of Air using a powered USB hub and cables needed.

    I have the mic plugged into the USB hub powered through cable, the iPad plugged into the hub via iPad charging cable and the hub plugged into a socket via the supplied adapter. The iPad, however, does not seem to recognize the microphone at all. Is there something that I am missing or something that maybe, I do not consider?

    Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Happy 2016!

    According to the website of Blue, all their microphones are compatible. They say however that not all powered USB hubs will work. They do not say why or how whether your choice will be. They mention a Belkin 4 port.

    The other thing I noticed... they use on an iPad analog 30PIN connector 2. Maybe the lightning digital connector is not compatible.

  • I can't save it as Narrator on PowerPoint. He says that I don't have a microphone. My microphone works because I can save otherwise, but there is a problem because I look like a squirrel!

    original title: Chipmunks in my computer!

    I have 2 problems. First of all, I can't save it as Narrator on PowerPoint. He says that I don't have a microphone. My microphone works because I can save otherwise, but there is a problem because I look like a squirrel! I put the voice until the lowest level I can.

    I guess it's a problem with the microphone, which is probably broken somehow. If it is a taken as opposed to a micro USB microphone, you can get a micro usb to a friend (if possible) to test if it works using the microphone or not.

    I say this because I had a microphone jack and he also had problems, as I've never had a problem with my USB microphone.

  • How to set up a USB Microphone and a headphone audio jack at the same time on Windows 7?

    I recently bought a CAD u37 USB microphone for use in various records and a commentator game on Youtube when I came across a problem. When I plugged the microphone all other sounds immediately extinguished and I couldn't hear the game. I tried to unplug and re - plug in the headphones and the microphone, even play with no helmet without result.

    I did some research and found out it's because the microphone is automatically configured for audio input and output and the card sound/headset, not having a configuration. I've recently considered buying a $5 female jack audio converter USB to work around this problem.
    Will this work, or just be a waste of money? Are there simpler solutions like a flick of a switch of audio control panel configuration? Are there any programs that will allow me to configure the audio and input output? Is it still possible? Thank you!

    Hi Ben,

    I suggest you try to connect USB female to the converter audio jack, this should help to solve the problem with simultaneous USB microphone and audio input jack using headphones.

    If you have any more questions, respond to this post with the State of the question. I'll be happy to help you.

  • The 8.1 Windows USB microphone volume is extremely low

    I have a Samson C01U USB microphone. It's a plug-and-play microphone. There is no driver for it. There is no firmware for it. You just plug in, and it works.

    This microphone has always worked perfectly. When I used Windows 7, I put the volume of it at about 40-50% and everything seemed crisp, clear and strong. On Windows 8, it's incomprehensible unless I put the volume to 90%, but even at this moment, he is not strong enough. Providing 100% results in a lot of noise in the background.

    This is not the first time, someone raised this issue because it is very common to all individuals with a plug-and-play USB microphone:

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    As you mentioned that you have checked the matter with another micro but you still face this problem. We already tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I suspect that this problem is a hardware problem. Check the issue with a local technician.

  • How to add a USB microphone?

    I am trying to add a Blue Snowball USB microphone for use in first Pro CS5, but it does not appear under the audio hardware.  No idea why?

    If it worked in iMovie, then the computer is see it very well. In the first (connect the microphone before opening the first) go to the "Audio equipment" tab in preferences. Your "Default Input" drop-down list should list your snowball; If this is the case, go ahead and choose it, even if you don't have to. Looks like you've already tried this well. You connect the microphone before you start the first? And just to be sure that the computer is seeing the mic, go into your system preferences > Sound > entry and see that it is registered. Nice to go directly to the sound prefs keyboard shortcut is "Opt + Volume Up" (in fact, the volume keys work.

    Let me know and we can go from there.

    Also, you said you were on CS5, so things are different.

    I guess you have tried these instructions?

    Set up a microphone USB (Mac OS)

    1. In the application Configuration Audio and Midi in utilities, go to Audio > open aggregate device Editor.

    2. Check each of the following:

      • Your USB microphone.
      • An additional input device, for example, Line In.
      • An output device
    3. Select this new global device within Premiere Pro Audio hardware preferences panel.

    Using microphones USB pr on OS X can be difficult.  Run the utility of setting up Audio and Midi (part of Mac OS X) and create a new aggregate device.  Says, add the micro USB as "entry", so that any device output you use (Line Out, integrated, etc.) as output.

    After return to proportional representation in the config of Audio material , choose this new global device as the audio device.  As you put the MIC and your output devices, you will be able to use it as an input and output device.

    Finally, you want to create a new audio track which is mono only.  This track allows to record from the microphone.

    That should do the trick for you.

  • Two USB microphones on a computer = a track, two voices... right?

    Hey everybody,

    I apologize for my ignorance, but I have a long list of things to learn about technology, and I learned a lot about computer specifications and features, so I went a little bit. I just finished a list of parts for a custom version, and once this is done, I need to establish a method for the monitoring of sound. I saw on a few threads here that you cannot build two microphones mapped onto a separate track each unless you use a pre microphone or mixer with multiple microphone inputs... and it's unfortunate, because, after spending more than $1 k for the computer, I'm not really willing to spend hundreds more on an intermediate device , microphones, stands, pop filters AND cables. Other than the microphone preamp, it's at least two of everything, and it will get expensive fast.

    So... If I use two USB microphones on a computer with Adobe hearing, then the voice of every microphone will be record for a single track, correct? If I wanted to change the voice, I have to go until then individual time during the track instead of referring to, say, "A track to voice A" or "Track B voice B," right?

    Not much, so no chance to work at all, I'm afraid. Most people have a little trouble to make a USB microphone is working correctly, and I'm not aware of that anyone ever get both working at the same time. I'm not saying that this is absolutely impossible, but there is a good chance they are.

    The problem is that the hearing is focused on the ASIO, and Steinberg (who invented) have determined that because he hits his way in the OS to give you better performance of latency, you can only use one device at a time. And your USB microphone is a device. There is just an outside possibility using ASIO4ALL you can aggregate two USB devices I have the feeling that there is something else that could stop this work - these devices are very slippery, and pilots with them generally aren't much anyway. So you can try it if you want - but I think you would be wasting money. And above all that, you'd have no supervision available (limited to a new device), or if you purchased a USB microphone with a headphone jack on it, you would very quickly find embarrassing how what is...

    Which brings me to:

    After spending more than 1 k $ for the construction of the computer, I'm not really willing to spend hundreds more on microphones, an intermediate device, pop filters, stands, AND cables. Other than the microphone preamp, it's at least two of everything, and it will get expensive fast.

    To start, you can buy pop and stands filters independently, so it isn't in the equation. Cables really are not expensive (especially if you learn to do it yourself), and there are a number of mixers small enough at a great price with links of USB, and which also provide the replay and monitoring. For example, if you have purchased a Behringer Eurorack UB802, you could pan each microphone on the side of the stereo, and it would let you separate them. It's simple for this divided into a pair of mono channels, so that you can edit them separately if you wish.

    And your overall cost is going to be very similar. USB microphones is more expensive than their equivalents not USB, and something like the Behringer will make the difference. So for a similar expense, you will get a system that works, more viable output and some monitoring available. I would say it was a mistake, myself.

  • USB microphone is not listed in the Audio of first drop down hardware

    Hi all.

    First of all, I would be grateful very gladly any idea here because I'm totally stuck with this tent to record a voice on the track.

    The title is pretty self-explanatory. I work on Mac OS X and first Pro CS5 and I would like to record an audio track, but the USB microphone is not displayed. I have already read several forum discussions and followed the steps, but this problem has not yet been mentioned.

    That's what I did several times without success:

    1 - Connect the USB cable and check that MacOS recognizes. It works very well.

    2 - in Premiere Pro mark taken as a track record. Error message because no input device has been declared.

    3 - premiere Pro > > Preferences > > Audio-Hardware-> no microphones on the menu drop down.

    4 - Open audio and Midi and I add all microphones to Premiere Pro (Line-In, built-in and USB device).

    5-return to step 3: reopen the project > > Preferences > > Audio-Hardware-> Line-In and integrated appears, but not yet of micro USB.

    I was able to record with the built-in microphone, but I don't know what is happening to the USB one. In fact, if I go back to step 4 and open the audio and Midi, boxes that I had checked once reappear unchecked.

    I don't understand what is happening. Thank you in advanced for your help.

    I'm a PC guy, but if I had your problem I would try to turn off the microphone integrated and entry at the level of the BONE, so that the only possible option for the operating system and applications of line would be the USB microphone.

    I use a Logitech USB headset and Pr CS6 has no difficulty to recognize or record with her.

  • Tascam-144 and samson c01u usb microphone

    Hello, me with even more problems.

    I use a tascam US-144 as audio device mk2, which has 2 xlr inputs... However, my usb microphone (I bought before the tascam) and I can't for the life of me work a way to implement the tascam, both the micro usb at the same time. Therefore, to use th samson usb mic I have tascam pilots to the generic producer audition drivers, which are really bad. I have asio drivers but for some reason, I can't work with the tascam either. Grrr.

    any ideas guys? the only thing I can think is:

    1. buy a condenser xlr (what is annoing I like samson)

    2 buy a card his decent pci to use instead of the tascam, only use the tascam when I need (i.e. the recording instruments).

    the two options involve spending more money, I have after getting the tascam I thought that my needs would be met, so be a little bored. but, if you guys have any other ideas?

    Thank you

    I think that you will find it impossible to combine. Two reasons for this: ASIO as a system can only cope with an audio device - period. In order to have the Tascam and a USB microphone running at the same time with ASIO simply is not possible. This is a limitation of Steinberg, not an Adobe one. Even if you try to work around this problem by using the MS drivers for both, you're always stuffed, however, and this is the main reason why it won't work - you haven't synced the two devices together, and without doing this you will meet click and appears galore. Not only that, but you can't synchronize them - there is no way to do it at all.

    Your only realistic option here is to whisk the Samson mic on eBay and get less equivalent USB.
