MIC problems

My microphone does not work with voice-dictation in Win Vista. However, it does not work with Sound Recorder?  I went to the Hardwear and Sound but MIC is not yet in speaker properties so I can't make adjustments. Any ideas?

Hello

Thank you for joining Microsoft Community!

The microphone does not work with voice-dictation.

Quick questions:

1. What is the brand and model of the computer?
2 - is a built-in microphone?

We will follow these steps and check:

Method 1:

Select Microphone, a default device.

Follow these steps to do the same thing:

(a) right click on the "speaker" icon located on the bottom right corner the screen of the taskbar.

(b) click on sounds, click on the recording tab.

(c) click Microphone, and then click Properties. (Note to make sure that this work appears under Microphone. If the job does not appear, click on Microphoneand then click set as default.)

 

Method 2:

Check if dictation is enabled or not.

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - Microphone does not work with Windows 7

    Hello, I have a problem with the microphone on my laptop.

    MIC comes with chicony web cam and Windows 7 camera works fine but the microphone does not work.
    Does anyone have the solution to this problem?

    Micro Vista works fine but I wanted to try Windows 7 on the laptop and everything works great except microphone.

    Best wishes in advance.

    Hello

    I think that the reason why Windows 7 is only RC and not a final version that is on the market. I think you should wait until Windows 7's official published.

    However, you have installed the driver for the webcam and soundcard? You can try using the Vista drivers. It should also work on Windows 7.

  • Microphone does not work with Siri

    Hello

    I'm having some trouble using Siri on my iPhone 6 more 164 GB model (AT & T).  When just using the microphone Siri does not hear my voice.  I tried the following troubleshooting steps.

    • Power recycled
    • Hard reset
    • Micro works with other apps: voice commands, voice memos, phone calls, Shazam
    • Turned Siri works
    • Siri works with the headset supplied with my phone and my Bluetooth headset
    • Port of cleaned Microphone and 3.5 mm port
    • iOS is updated 9.2.1

    Any help is appreciated.

    Your phone has three microphones. Siri works with your microphone facing forward, who is behind the earpiece speaker grille. To test the microphone, record video using your camera facing forward. See if you have any audio during playback.

  • Microphone does not work with Win 8 Pro (driver issue)

    I just bought a new PC with Windows 8 pro and the following technical details:

    Motherboard: GA - X 79 - UP4
    CPU: Intel I7 - 3930K
    Graphics card: Nvidea Geforce GTX670

    The Microphone plugged into the port back does not work and produces his scrambled a lot like a warped computer extreme voices and is extremely soft at the same time. Re-install the original drivers and try to obtain new did not help anything.

    To prove any wrong material, I then removed the hardrive where victory 8 has been installed and installed a new version of Windows 7 Ultimate on a new hardrive and here evrything works without any worries. Probably, this proves that it is certainly a driver problem.
    Also, what about this is that Windows 8 has crashed several times already by activating the "speaker" icon.

    Any help would be apreashiated

    I actually solved the problem by updating the bios of the motherboard that was sugested to me by the Gigabyte support.

    Thank you

  • Satellite C55: microphone does not work with the connected headphones

    Hey everybody,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55. I've seen other forums posted on this topic, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. I tried to uninstall the drivers and restart the computer, and configure the microphone when the headphones are connected.

    My microphone (installed on the laptop) works completely fine... until I have plug in my headphones. He stops working, but I can still hear the music or friends through my headphones. They have a regular pair of Sony headphones, not headphones, so they do not have a microphone on them or anything. My microphone has never worked with the headphones plugged in, and the computer is only a few months old. I would really appreciate a clear solution, thank you for taking the time to look!

    What Satellite C55 do you have exactly?

    This laptop does support that one socket for headset and microphone, or you have two different plugs: one for mic and one for headphones?

    Usually, you can check the playback (speakers, headphones) devices and recording devices (microphone and external microphone) in the control panel → sound → playback (or recording) tab

    If you need to check if the internal MIC is set as device by default when the headphones are connected.

    In the event that the laptop uses the Realtek audio driver
    Reach
    Control Panel → Manager Realtek HD Audio → select Mic tab → click Device avancΘs
    Then select option button separate all entries in the independent input devices.
    Click OK
    Speakers of tray right click (Volume) then the recorders (confirm the microphone is active) → select microphone → click on set default (default device)
    Then close

  • Microphone does not work with Win7 Ultimate retail worm

    Hello

    It's my laptop model:
    PSU40E (Satellite U400)

    I installed the new Windows 7 version final detail a few days ago.
    All the drivers work without problem

    Only the microphone is notworking at all.

    Can someone please help me here?
    Thank you

    Hello!

    Can you please explain what microphone is not working means?
    You may need to activate the microphone amplifier in the audio settings of Windows.

    In addition, you must update the driver sound and webcam. Micro is a part of the webcam and if this driver needs to be updated too.
    On the Toshiba page you can find some beta drivers for Windows 7 it s worth a try! ;)

    Moreover, what happens if you use an external microphone?

    Good bye

  • USB microphone does not work with Windows XP

    I have problems to make my USB Plantronics Gamecom headset mic works - be when the headset is plugged into USB port, or directly into the sound card. I think I checked all standard solutions: Windows OS updated, update driver for Plantronics, SB Audigy 2ZS Sound card driver updated, its mixer configured to capture a USB device to record the sound/voice and sound/voice playback (except when it is connected directly to the sound card, then I have this option is selected) , microphone not cut with setting the sound card and the "secret" on the micro iteself button is not on.

    Should there be an option to adjust microphone levels when I click "Open volume control" on the volume icon in the taskbar (lower right corner of the screen)? This option does not appear.

    Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    Norm

    Hello Norm58,

    I suggest that you install the drivers for the Plantronics device and check if it is enabled in the playback devices.

    a. Click Start, type Sound in the box to start the search.

    b. click sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.

    c. click the Read tab.

    d. on the tab 'Read' it has listed the sound options at your disposal. It should read "The plantronics device" click on it.

    e. There should now be a checkmark on this option.

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro L550 - Microphone does not work with Skype

    Hello

    I recently installed Skype on my laptop and I went through all the tests to make sure that I can hear and can be heard. My two speakers and microphone are working fine. However when I go to use Skype to chat with people they can not hear me but I can hear them. Any thoughts on what I can do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,.

    When you open Skype and go to tools > Options > Audio settings can you see a green bar volume when you say something?
    You selected the automatically adjust microphone settings?

    Usually, if you check this option Skype will adjust the Microphone automatically that other people can you hear you properly.

  • My microphone does not work with Skype.

    Whenever I have someone call on Skype, he put mute my microphone. Therefore, Skype gives me an error "can access sound card."  I tried everything to fix this, check if the caps were in the right holes, to reformat my computer and everything in between.  All my drivers are up to date, I can record my voice on a tape recorder and hear him read.  I thought that maybe there was something in the control panel I have not tried, all of the peripheral input-output boxes are on the right thing, I have C-Media CM6501 Like Sound Device.

    It must be cut to stop your own voice echoing Skype makes this car.

    go to tools-options-audio Skype settings - and check the settings also do Skype test call.
