  • Paviliion dv7: external Microphone not Picking Up Sound

    Hello

    I recently bought a product that works better with direct external headphones. It was my first time ever using one with my laptop. When I went through the set up process, the microphone would pick up all the sounds and I couldn't hear anything through the external listener.  I tried to use the microphone and headphone port as well as the helmets of the different with the same result. Headsets work very well on other devices.

    When I use only ordinary headphones connected via the helmet, I hear very well.

    I went to control panel > hardware and sound > Sound > manage Audio devices to solve problems, but nothing has worked. I tried to update the latest drivers and I was told later are already installed.

    Is the name of the product: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

    Product # (NOT the serial number) is: B5R46UA #ABA
    The external microphone is called: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

    Please advise,

    chriscinthed

    Hi @chriscinthed ,

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop. It will also fix the sound.

    When you perform a system restore Please note remove all USB devices and headphones. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Speaking to Rosetta Stone said headsets for use with the software here is for Plug-and-Play technology for the connected USB headset. Other computers you've tried have the Beats Audio.  To turn on or off the Beats Audio, press the fn in combination with the b button. Decision-making has influence on the Beats Audio which may need to be turned off. Then, try the microphone.
    You guarantee that you plug the microphone headset in the selection for the helmets on the laptop.

    Thank you.

  • Microphone is not picking up my voice correctly

    For some reason unknown, crazy, my microphone is not properly pick up my voice.

    My helmet is the Razer Carcharias http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-carcharias-for-xbox-pc
    (the link I provide is actually a newer version of what I have. Mine is not for the XBox, PC only. "The thing about node controller in the middle of the string is different, not that it makes much difference.)

    I feel that I've done all the possible troubleshooting it is possible, and I can not find the problem.

    My microphone is picked up and recognized, but when I speak, it only picks up no sound except if I set my mouth right up against the microphone.

    Here's everything that I've tried, and I'll also give you screenshots of what I can show you:

    I checked to make sure she was not silent on the thing of string rope (the little switch).

    I went to the control panel > hardware and sound > manage Audio devices > recording > and my microphone the default. http://i.imgur.com/teHJrpa.PNG

    I went to the control panel > hardware and sound > manage Audio devices > recording > properties > levels > and set it to 100, also checked to ensure that it was not set to mute. http://i.imgur.com/oSe7q2u.PNG

    I tested another micro on my computer, and it gave the same results.

    I tested my microphone on another computer, and it was absolutely perfect, so the problem is not my microphone.

    I tried to update the drivers (they were already up to date), still does not work properly.

    I tried to roll back to a previous driver, and it still does not work properly.

    I tried to use the Microphone amp, but it creates just a bunch of static, making it impossible to talk to people (even if it makes it better take my voice).

    I tried to use the conference Mode feature in the RealTek HD Audio Manager, but it creates a lot of static electricity, so (although he does not pick up my voice better).

    I tried to uninstall audio programs such as Skype/Ventrilo/TeamSpeak, still no change.

    I tried to reformat and restart windows, because I'm desperate to have just it does... still no change.

    -So I tried to contact ASUS (my motherboard company), asking them what could be the problem and I told them everything I tried, and the person I was talking to told to try an external audio card, or RMA the motherboard because I've already gone through all the troubleshooting he could think, therefore...

    I bought a new external audio card, and there is not always works, so I returned it.
    (I used the right driver for the external sound card).

    In my attempt desperate to get finally just made question, I went back to MicroCenter, returned to my motherboard and made a $53 upgrade to a motherboard brand new and improved, expecting all this to finally get and more with... No.

    I put in the motherboard, windows loads and drivers, did all updates, installed blah blah blah, tested my microphone, and... still the same accurate results than before. Not one thing is different.

    I am now furious and extremely desperate for a solution. I can't take this anymore. I don't know what to do, and I spent close to two weeks now, trying to solve this problem. He put a huge dent in my work, and I have the biggest headache. I'm tired of it. I just want my mic finally works correctly.

    I am also on a station just to take my computer in a place of tech support and just hand it to them and tell them to fix this problem, knowing that they will probably not be able to.

    I actually finally discovered the issue after spending over $ 100 on troubleshooting.

    It turns out that my computer was made by a friend of my father, the person has not properly implemented the motherboard.

    There was something hip that wasn't supposed to be hip. It was one of the things single PIN in one of the corners. I forgot the one which, exactly, it was, but that's what was causing problems with my microphone.

    Problem everything is fixed now! I hope that someone later on the line who has problems find it and be able to find the solution to their problems.

  • "Problem with recording device" - with no Microphone

    In short, despite not having a mic that I usually use Skype calls to be able to listen to friends when you play and do stuff in general. However today all of a sudden when we tried it auto-a ended the call with an error 'problem with the recording device '.

    It happens both with echo and simple restart does not solve the problem either.

    Apparently, with the new codec NGC (new generation call), which is now used for all calls from Skype, it is mandatory to have a microphone connected to the computer. Without a microphone, Skype calls will not work.

  • USB Microphone (headset) do not pick up sound

    Hello.

    I am currently using a headset (wired) Gioteck EX - 05 USB. The drivers installed perfectly (to my knowledge), and my recording devices in my PC recognizes that a microphone is there. However, from this moment, he can only play her even though the helmet itself. The microphone just not my voice, and I know that it actually works, since I've used it before, and when I listen well "Listen to this device ' I hear a kind of static electricity, but nothing else.

    My PC works on Windows 7, and to my knowledge the on-board sound is "VIA HD Audio Deck", while the majority of the solutions I've seen about Realtek seem not to apply.

    Attempts to try to correct what I've tried so far are put in different USB slots and uninstalling the drivers and allowing them to reinstall.

    I just got a new helmet tomorrow because I think we can the drivers simply do not work on W7. However, if I can get this to work I will not need to buy a new helmet. On the other hand, maybe I need a wire to the top if this new headset does not work, as at the time it could be something on my end PC and not the headphones.

    Solved the problem. Problem was in the helmet itself. Got a new helmet and now it works.

  • Active microphone but do not pick up sound on the Samsung QX411-W02UB (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Samsung QX411-W02UB refurbished with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and everything was going a lot until I've decided to try Skype and noticed that the microphone did not work. I'm starting to think that maybe since it is a used laptop, the microphone can just be pulled.
    I downloaded the RealTek HD Audio Driver, enabled in his preferences and set the volume and levels of boost to their maximum values (100% and + 36.0dB, respectively). I have all disabled devices shown, the only other being "Stereo Mix - RealTek High Definition Audio - Ready." I tested the microphone with this second 'device' on and off, inside and outside of Skype.
    Here's what he did:
    The bar on the right side of the active microphone (microphone - Realtek High Definition Audio - Default Device) has a few green flickering bars as if the microphone works for about 1 to 7 seconds, but then everything stops. I spoke directly to the microphone and nothing happens. When I do a test call on Skype with Echo/Sound Test Services, I hear no reading of my voice.
    I made an audio recording of troubleshooting, and it detects no problem (I've seen all the details and they all say "not present delivers". I've also updated everything need be updated (restarts and all).
    So it's pretty much my problem. I wouldn't want to return a laptop because the built-in microphone did not work. I hope I described it well enough. I worked on it for about 6 hours now so my brain becomes blurred and tired at all.
    Is there possible solutions to this problem or it looks like I'll have to use an external mic?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi, thanks for the response.

    I tried to do what you suggested, without success.
    After I posted this, I discovered in fact two other problems with hardware, so it looks like I'll return it.
    Thanks again! I appreciate it.
