Micro system

I turned off my computers microphone.  to save other empty titles to use as breaks in the media player. I can't find where to turn them back on.

Thank you

Hi Steve,.

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

According to the description, it seems that you are having problems with microphone start-up. I will certainly help you fix this problem.

I suggest that you follow the steps in order to test, check the connections and hardware, update the audio drivers and configure the audio settings of Windows.

Step 1: Test of an audio signal

  1. Click on Start, then Control Panel.
  2. Click hardware and soundand then click manage audio devices...
  3. Click the recording tab.
  4. To test the microphone, speak into it. To test the line, send a signal to the line at the port of devices audio source (press play on the audio player). Look at the gray bars next to the name of the device under the recording tab:
    • If the gray bars next to the device name turns green, this device is active and an audio signal is passed through the microphone or line-in port. This step shows that this problem is related to sound parameters in the software that uses the microphone. If you have not already done so, set the device selected by default and adjust levels. Once the device is set by default and levels are defined, use and adjust the sound recording or voice carrying software.
    • If the gray bars remain inactive and grey, the device does not have a signal. Leave the record open tab and go to the next step.

Step 2: Check the volume levels and mute

The volume of the speaker to the microphone and line - in may be activated or rejected. Use the following steps to check the volume of speaker for line and microphone levels.

  1. Click Startand then click Control Panel.
  2. Click hardware and sound.
  3. Click sound.
  4. Select speakersand then click Properties.
  5. Click the levels tab.
  6. Click on any line that is cut and Muted next to Microphone button.
  7. Use the slider to increase the micro level and each line at least 75.
  8. Click OK.

Step 3: Configuring the settings of Windows registry

By default, Windows Vista automatically activates microphones and line-in ports. Use the following steps to set the microphone/line-in port to be the default port and configure the logging levels.

  1. If the recording in the Audio window tab is not selected, open the sound and click therecording tab and make sure the State is defined as below.

1 - port microphone - work and set as default

2 - line In - work

3. digital (S/PDIF port) In - work

4 - stereo Mix (mixer software) - disabled

  1. If several microphones or line - in ports are available, select the port you want to use. Clickset as default to make this device default audio input device.
  2. If the device you want to use contains a small circle with an arrow pointing down, the device is disabled. To activate the device, right click on the device name and selectActivate.
  3. With the selected device, click Properties, and then click thelevels tab.
  4. Adjust the slider until 75% of its range.
  5. If the mute is enabled, click the button mute to reactivate the device. The mute button should show as a blue speaker without any red circle.
  6. If the Microphone Boost is available, adjust to dB + 20.0.
  7. Click OK to make the changes.
  8. Test the microphone as was done in step 1 to determine if Windows is able to detect a signal from the microphone or line used. If you have completed all the steps and the microphone or the source device still does not work, the audio ports or the computer's sound hardware can be bad.

  • OptiPlex 7040 Micro missing heatsink heat from the chipset - is this normal?

    I bought an OptiPlex 7040 Micro system about two weeks ago. After the opening of the system, I noticed that the heatsink for the chipset (Q 170 Skylake) is missing. You can see in the image below.

    Photos of the user, in fact downloaded manual from Dell, you can find the image with a heat sink as usually installed on motherboards.

    Because the German Customer Service isn't really a help for me, they always send me different pictures of the other motherboards than mine, sometimes of the previous Micro 9020, my question is this:

    Really missing heatsink (accidentally forgot to install at the factory) or is it planed out of the system for reasons?

    Because I don't want to let change possibly latest main map by an elder of the customer service to the Germany, it would be good if someone relay knowing that the facts could answer.

    There is no heater on this chipset on the 7040 M.

    I checked the internal images of the motherboard, and they show no heatsink during this particular chip.

    Also on your image of the motherboard in your system, you will notice that there are 2 positions on the motherboard where the clip holders would be located (circled in white) and real clips are not soldered to the motherboard showing that the radiator and the following clips are not needed

  • Zoom TAC2R or other fast ultra interface boards

    Hi all

    My rig software concert revolves around MainStage running on a MacBook Pro 15 "and MOTU Ultralite MK3 interface audio (FireWire only) and I am very happy with it. However, I try to have a second, smaller, ultra portable configuration that I can just throw in a backpack for small gigs I need just my AMT sax clip microphone (using its wired configuration) and the Yamaha WX5 wind controller. For my proposed Setup, I'll only need 2 x e/s with MIDI I/o (although more is always nice!) and it must be a unit completely powered by the bus. I am impressed by what I saw of the Zoom TAC2R in terms of price, I/O + MIDI, is the Thunderbolt connectivity (must be pleasant and reliable with very low latency) and bus power but would appreciate the thoughts of someone who has used this device, or can you recommend something similar for my budget and requirements. I can get the TAC2R because THE $ 398 delivered, and it's really not cheap here in Australia. My ideal unit would be RME or AU, but I can't justify the expense for a backup system that I will not use it all the time. My primary rig has micro system wireless and wireless in ears, wireless MIDI etc. and it is only a configuration 2RU, there are moments where I would like something smaller and a little more discreet.

    There are a number of interfaces autour in my price range, but my main considerations (other than/o, MIDI, and bus-power) are very low latency, stability of the driver, portability and small physical size. I excluded M-Audio from the beginning because I've heard so many problems with these. I also prefer to stay away from FireWire 400 units because a) FW 400 is now old, and b) I'd rather watch the new connectivity options.  I'm also eager to hear about the quality of the amps before, especially as to whether they are on par with or lower than the MOTU Ultralite.

    Any thoughts?

    See you soon

  • Security certificate error

    Hello.

    I bought a laptop Dell Mini Inspiron in August for graduate studies. At first, I don't have a problem connecting to Internet Explorer by using the school WIFI service. However, after the first week, I developed a problem where I can't connect IE without problem "security certificate". The error is pink/red and States that
    "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SECURITY CERTIFICATE FROM THE WEBSITE...". The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid. »

    Then it gives me the opportunity to perform on the site. While I can use internet, I always get this PINK/RED warning on the certificate. I know that after doing extensive research on this:

    1. the problem is not a question of TIME. The date and time is set to the exact time.

    To make things easier... I have Windows XP and IE usage.

    Find it me hard to believe that the school certificate has expired. Secondly, I see another student using the laptop in the school without problem.

    Any help or assistance would be useful.

    Thank you.

    I noticed that I could upgrade the java software since the first site you provided. Is this right?

    If you followed this link correctly, then Yes... it was ok. Both links will introduce you to the java components more up-to-date. A score more. You should check your ' Add/Remove' programs for older versions of Java that can always be installed. Have no idea what version you had before you updated, I should say there are some older Java components that have been exploited and create a slight security risk. Unless you KNOW for sure that you updated to have only the Java 10 installed and none of the other older components update, you must uninstall all installations of java that you can find with the exception, of course, that you just installed. The reason why I mentioned the caveat about the '10' update is because "Sun Micro Systems" has started (update 10) to write the uninstall command in their edits starting with this version. All other previous versions must be uninstalled manually.

  • Signature - updated antivirus definition

    All,

    I worry a bit with the version of update of virus that I see when I run a 'see the version' on our IPS (AIP-SSM-10)

    I get the following output...

    Definition of signature:

    Update of the signature S369.0 2008-12-06

    Virus update V1.4 2007-03-02

    I thought the update of virus was included in the definitions of signature, and as a result, I would have expected the date should be the same on both (i.e. 2008-12-06).

    Can someone explain if that's OK? where I can get the latest virus update...

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Steve

    Steve-

    This isn't something you have to worry. This surfaces topic on a regular basis, so I'll quote two of the best answers of marcabal and mhellman.

    Posted by: marcabal - October 18, 2007, 11:30 am PST

    This is the latest version.

    V signatures are created by Trend Micro Systems when a major virus/worm outbreak occurs and an update of emergency is necessary.

    The V update can then be deployed via a Cisco ICS Management Server.

    But it was not a great emergnecy epidemic in the last 2 years that required a special signature update V.

    Instead the signatures of viruses/worms the last two years have come to be included in the procedure of updating signature standard and figuratively in our standard S signature levels without the need of special emergency updates.

    Often the vulnerability was already detected by an update of standard signature S before the virus/worm started to spread.

  • WHY HP DID NOT RESPOND ON THE FAULT OF INTEL CHIP? -MOST OF THE OTHER SUPPLIERS HAVE

    Acer, Asus, Dell, emachines, Gateway, Lenovo, Maingear, origin, Puget, Sony, and Velocity Micro systems have all contacted their clients about the recent failure of chip Intel associated with the game of Sandy Bridge processors. (see http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20030052-1.html)

    Why HP, largest manufacturer of PCs in the world, said nothing?  Some of the solutions envisaged by the sellers who actually contacted their clients (what a concept) include the replacement motherboard, motherboards, etc., accelerated replacement warranty extensions home. They have at least the courtesy to say something.

    Intel has already planned $700 million to pay for repairs. It seems that sellers taking advantage of this and offering solutions that have the least absolute impact on customers who have adopted this new technology so quickly. It's the kind of situation where every speech dealing with customers gets really shown be a lot of marketing BS or can actually manifest as really take care of things and real customer loyalty.

  • In the first 11 elements, can I convert a stereo, one mono audio track?

    The microphone that I use on my digital SLR when video recording is a mono microphone (Canon 5 d MkII dslr, Hama lapel MIC). When I import video in first items 11, audio playback in mono - is there a way I can convert the audio in stereo?

    Thank you.

    Tom

    Welcome to the forum.

    In fact, you cannot convert a mono source in true stereo, because it requires two microphones., but you can convert it to 2 mono channels. The difference is that you have the same signal on both channels, unlike stereo ture, where signals differ according to the micro system.

    According to Steve, you can fill out to the left, or fill right, or you can just drag another Instance of your Audio Clip to a different Audio track mono. In the Audio Mixer Panel, you can pan to the left and one right.

    Also, just like pre your mono 2 channels output mix, it will give you 2-Channel Audio signal even in the two ways, if you let the Pan toward the Center.

    Good luck

    For w10pro c: / recommend reinstall to ssd or migrate ssd or even is...?

    SSDS all have sons the same size and holes threaded on the bottom and sides.  They all use the same fine metric threads live short (short, so they don't lower).  These screws must come with the adapter, and I live in general using the lateral holes.  Parts of the adapter have threaded, 3 holes and you will use the back ahead and away from those for channels of the drive Bay.  If you look at each side of a standard 3.5 "HDD, you will see the same same spacing holes.

    Some jobs need the SSD to shift to the left so the orientation of the SSD SATA power and data ports match exactly where they would be if the current drive was a 3.5 "HARD drive clutter.  An example is the drive in a Z620 of drawers which accept 3.5 form factor devices "and slides of drawers in the deep part of the case and automatically mesh with ports of power/data SATA back inside.

    Jobs that fuel just a loose cable and the data cable for the SSD is really doesn't matter much if the SSD is an adapter which keeps it more centered or offset to the left.  I've seen cases where a disk HARD 3.5 "given in the lower Bay and a centered SSD is in the upper drive Bay and there was nearly not enough cable length to reach easily shifted left for drives staggered in the Center.  You can see in the photo below that the Garland of feeding on the HARD drive has two unused SATA power below connectors, and there is not a lot of room between them.

    The card you chose seems good... solid metal.  For the HP 8200 Elite CMT I have access to screws 4 total special 6-32 UNC silver HP threaded screw threaded back ahead and away from the screw holes on both sides of the adapter, and then you use the extraordinary end threads metric short screws mentioned above to fix the SSD to the adapter, as shown in the pictures of Amazon.  These HP silver screw 6-32 no metric I'm talking using Torx or flat screwdriver and their leaders are trained to slip into the channels of the drive Bay.

    There are also other designs which are designed specifically for some HP workstations that include mounts insulation rubber with the sliding mechanism.  I don't think you have that... Here is a picture of eBay one of the 8200 Desktop Elite CMT demonstrating the existence of space on the left for 8 of these silver screw to store, which 4 are missing and used on 3.5 "single drive, you see there.  Don't throw those... they are not something, you can go to Ace hardware and buy.

Maybe you are looking for
