Microphone does not work after upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Win 7 Home Basic-Sony Vaio VGN-NS25G

Microphone does not work after upgrade from Vista Home Premium to win 7 Home Basic Edition. Laptop model Sony Vaio VGN-NS25G, bought in India

My built-in mic not working anymore after the upgrade from Vista Home Premium to win 7 Home Basic Edition. Model laptop Sony Vaio VGN-NS25G was bought in India. I have taken the loacl Sony Service Center and they said that Windows 7 drivers for the microphone Sony was not yet available. They mentioned that the only way to fix the problem was to upgrade to Vista. Is this true? Where can I get these drivers for the microphone, and they are not available, when will they be available?

Hello

Method 1.
Interestingly, I found the drivers for Windows 7 for this particular model of Vaio. Here is link thye:
http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/download/362654/product/VGN-ns25g/sectionfirst?subpage=detail

I suggest updating all your drivers from the link above and drivers Realtek especially.

Method 2. Set the default Microphone.

Once the drivers installed to check if the microphone is the default value, here's how:

Exercise the functions mentioned below to adjust the Microphone as default:
1. Click Start and click on Control Panel.
2. click on sound, then a new window will open.
3. in the new windows, click on the 'Registration' tab and right click in the window and click Show disabled devices.
4. now check if the Microphone is listed there and right-click on it and choose activate.
5. turn highlighted that Microphone and click "set as default".

  • Satellite A200-10N (PSAE3): Fn key does not work after upgrade to vista any time

    After upgrading Vista-Home - Premium--> Vista Ultimate shortcut with the fn keys does not work, for example Fn + F6/7 (brightness).

    New value pack installation has not been successful.
    Moreover, after upgrading the drive to DVD from Toshiba is default, too.
    Who can help?

    I didn't try any update on my A200 but you can try to follow: install Vista using recovery media delivered. When Vista starts for the first time go in Panel and you can find Add/Remove Programs option. Remove all the stuff designed by Toshiba.

    When we remove everything, making Vista upgrade. After finishing Vista upgrade install all the stuff of Toshiba designed by order of specific facilities starting with added value package. Check please the download page if all of these tools and utilities are available.

    As far as I know all the tools and utilities are designed as universal tools and I can't imagine that there is a difference between the version of Vista ultimate or premium tools.

    DVD player is part of the image of the installations only and I can imagine that upgrade installation has changed something, but the upgrade procedure is responsible for this. I don't see any connection to Toshiba.

    As I said I don't have a CD to upgrade, but if I find one I'll try to test it on my Vista (Premium) preinstalled A200-1CR.

    Bye and I hope that you report your experiences with the Vista upgrade again.

  • Portege M800 - Microphone does not work after upgrade to Windows 7

    Hello world

    Is there anyone out there with the solution?

    You have upgraded original Hat version of Vista you have with your laptop or you have installed the clean version of Win7?
    All hardware components are correctly installed and listed in Device Manager?

    Microphone is in the sound properties > recording devices?

    The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  • Satellite L350 - built in microphone does not work after upgrade Win8

    Hi people,

    I have this problem since I went from Vista to windows 8. my sound card seems to work ok. My webcam works also. I made sure I chose the right microphone on the Panel etc. so theoretically there is no reason why it shouldn't work... but it is not working.

    im guessing it has to do with my laptop being old enough, so no compatible drivers? I have a Satellite L350.

    What should I do?
    falone buy headphones?

    best!
    Al

    I understand that you want to use newer OS on this old piece of hardware, but it can be problematic to use it if certain model of laptop is not fully compatible.

    I think you're the first person who reported thereon. Unfortunately, I can't help you with this but if possible ask a friend if you can get outputs audio headphones and test mic ports.
    It will be interesting to know if you will be able to use the headset.

    Please post comments.

  • Utility RAID does not work after upgrade to Vista

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G30 with 2 HD 120 GB each. After that I've upgraded to Windows Vista Windows XP, Toshiba RAID Utility no longer works. In Windows XP Home Edition, it worked OK, but in Vista, there is no way I can reflect the HD. In other words, the utility itself works, but the button that should say mirror, or something like that is not displayed. I put the RAID-1 disks in the BIOS, but no go.
    Is it possible to get the software RAID to work again?

    Hello

    just a quick question: during the installation of vista, is that you have installed the RAID driver installation? Maybe this could be the reason why the RAID can not be activated properly.

    Please give some feedback, if you have installed the RAID for Vista drivers during installation...
