Laptop is not using external microphone.

I have a Dell Inspiron 5547, which has a single audio jack which is supposed to be for a headset (headphones with microphone), my current situation, it's that I have earphones and a base external microphone. I bought an adapter that merges a headphone and microphone. The laptop detects that I use a headset and all sounds through headphones, but do not use the microphone and uses instead the built-in microphone that comes with the laptop.

I could not find a solution on the internet so now I here make a post on this subject.

I appreciate and what kind of help with this.

When Dell began using combined catches we have received reports of those who were lucky with dispatchers, but over time, I think that most of the reports were about failures with them. I am not sure why they do not work, but my theory is that they interfere with the detection of jack mechanism. Struggling to detect impedance and dispatchers who could throw off the coast. Or there could be another problem with them.

I would try a USB like this:

  • Using external microphone/headphones on Eee PC

    Is it possible to use external headphones w/microphone and headphones on an Asus Eee PC1015PX?   With a single port for mic w/either audio or headphones, the sistem does not seem to allow this thought even that support Assus said yes he can.  Do I need a special driver? It requires a full version of Windows 7?  Mac P.  Thank you.

    Hi Mac, P

    If you only have a single port, then you can use the external headset w/Mic or headphones.

    If your headphone or external headset w/Mic is a usb device then you can plug the device into a usb port.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite A200-13R: after installing the XP cannot use external microphone

    Hello

    I have A200-13R which comes with Vista Home Basic. Like most of my works under XP, I don't feel comfortable with vista. So I installed win Xp pro as a dual operating system. and I hv installed all the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site.

    But when I use yahoo or other messengers system isn't identify if I plugged the external microphone. It uses only the inbuild mic with the system. I forgot to install something?

    Experts please help.

    Hello

    First of all there is no specialists but simply Tosh user ;)

    > I forgot something to install

    I put t think you forgot something to install. Only the audio driver is needed to get the sound and mic work.
    I presume that it s just a matter of adjustment.

    I recommend to check the microphone settings in the-> sound and audio devices Control Panel
    In the single tabs as audio and voice please check if the microphone has been selected.

    In addition, please be sure that mute mic worked in volume-> advanced-> control of the microphone.

    This will disable the internal microphone! To activate the external microphone, you must press the button advanced under the micro controller.
    In the new window called Advanced controls for microphone, you will need to activate select MIC2 and Mic Boost.

    Best regards

  • 30.0 Firefox do not use external Acrobat Reader

    Can change the options for the inside or outside Adobe Acrobat. Makes no difference, I get an error message saying that my version of Acrobat Reader is too low. However, I use 11.0.7. This is what says Windows, and that's what Firefox said on the plugin.
    But Adobe say that 11.0.7 can deliver this message to specific error, so Firefox does not use 11.0.7 even if he says it is.

    Somehow the Player 9.5 and 11 have been installed. Even if Firefox stated that it would use v11, it used v9.5

  • Satellite A10: RGB Port is not installed - can not use external display

    Satellite A10 the RGB PORT is not installed & cannot be used as external display. I tried to install the communication or COM 1. interrupt code. What are the possible solutions?

    Hello

    What did you mean by "not installed"?
    Generally, you don't need to install anything. You don't need any drivers for this port 3.
    Windows XP drivers should work properly.

    Please check device manager if there are errors or yellow exclamation points.
    If the problem occurs for a short time, you can try to use the WinXP restore tool.
    This tool will reduce the BONE until the start.

  • External microphone not recognized

    I have a new Inspiron 5000 15, Windows 7 series. My headset has taken separate microphone/speaker, so I bought an adapter at RadioShack.

    My speakers are fine, but the laptop does not use the external mic.

    I temporarily connected a micro USB blue snowball, but I need to get the headset working.

    Hello. Your screenshot shows that the micro usb is the default device. You must select the Reatek'a microphone as the value by default to make it work.

    Regarding the maps, it is unclear what will work, if anything. Dell should provide a list of adapters that are known to work with each model having taking unfriendly combo, but of course it won't.

    See article 6 of the headphone FAQ for a couple other adapters, you can try, but in the end, it might be easier to get just a usb headset or headphones to smart phone.

  • Why can I not use a headset with my new laptop Asus?

    I recently bought an ASUS laptop, and I wanted to use a headset with it.

    However, I came across the problem that it is a single dose used for headset and microphone, but apparently not the two.

    Every time I plug something into it, a pop up comes up asking if his headphones, speakers or a headset. I clicked on helmet thinking it would take the microphone, but however he played its just and has not used the microphone.

    Just for my problem, headphones details usually come with two jacks, one for mic for the headphones. Usually laptops meet this and have two jacks, but not this one.

    It would be great if anyone can inform me if its possible to use my headset with microphone and headphones at the same time with my computer.

  • E1505 - no 'No Audio Device Found"even though I used my microphone before

    have had my E1505 with Vista OS laptop for over a year now and have always used an external microphone. From a few days back, the laptop does not recognize the microphone more. I tried several microphones and even used a brand new. Finally made a full diagnosis using the Dell diagnostics and during Diagnostics, I tested with the same microphone and the computer meets the test. However, when I close diagnostics and log back in, the computer still isn't allowing me to use the microphone. When I insert the microphone, the audio event message appears to indicate that an audio device has started. However, when I go to sound recorder, the record tab shows no audio device found.

    I just upgraded to SP 1 and hope there is a bug and MS can fix it, but no luck.

    Everyone ran in this unit or a similar problem? Any help is appreciated.


  • HP Envy 15 laptop TS: PC uses Intel Graphics instead housed within NVidia Graphics

    Hello, everyone!

    My laptop is not using the graphics card Nividia (GT 740 M 2 GB DDR3), but my laptop uses Intel HD Graphics 4600?

    I do not understand why my laptop shows two maps, when I play my games, my PC automatically puts the card for better performance?

    I think that my PC is configured to always use the Intel chip.

    Any help would be helpful at this stage!

    Thanks, Justin

    Hello

    It will automatically switch to the NVIDIA card. If you wish, you can use NVIDIA Control Center to spend yourself:

    1. Right-click any space on the desktop,
    2. Select the NVIDIA Control Panel,
    3. Select Set PhysX Configuration. For example:
