• External microphone not detected and faulty internal mic on Satellite Pro U400

  I have had several headphones with microphone and taken headphones 3.5 and the laptop just will not detect them. I tried to disable the internal sound system, or just the MIC internal, but not luck.

  The internal MIC is a (stronger if the external microphone is plugged) whirring background noise which means I can't use it for work.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Which is really strange.
  Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba and Toshiba driver sound?

  U400 is older model laptop and I would like to know since when you have this problem.
  I can't imagine that you got from day1.

• HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx - do not pick up the Samsung 840 Evo SSD for clean installation

  Hello

  Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx

  I bought a new Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB SSD and going on to replace the main HARD drive. Tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it using the USB bootable Win 7, it loads the installation and starts ok and then he asks to load the driver for any device and gives you an analysis of the option to see if there is any storage device to select for installation. It clearly shows that it does not pick up the SSD.

  Unfortunately the bios insydeh20 V3.5 has no possibility of even check if it is detected or so.

  What do you think is the problem? The BIOS update would solve this issue? or is there any other work around that.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Before I went ahead with the method you suggested, I tried updating the Bios with the latest version and voila... system picked up the SSD and all is well now.

  Thank you

  Mike

• 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.

• Built in microphone will not pick up sound for Windows speech recognition

  My Dell Inspiron 1545 with a built-in mic, but for some reason any it don't will pick up any sound at all for the Windows speech recognition (Windows Vista).

  Hi Matthew,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.

  Have you checked to see if the correct settings have been selected for the microphone in the computer?

  Try to access the control panel > Sound > Audio. Check the recording tab if the Microphone is on and working. Click on set up and once you see the working driver (i.e., reacts to your voice), right click on it and the default value.

  Later try to put in place the program of speech recognition in all programs > Accessories > accessibility > Windows speech recognition and try settings different microphone to the edge we respond to your voice.

  You can also try to update the audio drivers. Access the link below and try to download the drivers.

• 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.

• Help! My microphone is not picking up sound.

  I had no problems at all with my mic up to yesterday, when people on Skype couldn't hear me suddenly. It does not work with the microphone built into my laptop either! :(

  Please help, I need my microphone for recording of the ASAP :)

• 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.

• Inspiron 15r-5537 portable external microphone not recognized

  My laptop has a combo with a picture of a helmet on the subject, but when I plug the headphones only the helmet part works even if the computer fails to recognize the microphone. I know that this is not a problem with the microphone as I tested it on my phone and it works perfectly.

  Specs: windows 8.1 64-bit, 15r 5537, card realtek sound

  I don't know what comes with this Realtek audio driver. I have a combo Jack too, but my laptop is a Latitude with IDT. My recording tab has options for "Jack Mic" and "internal microphone".

  Try to go into the control panel and see if there is a list for Dell or Realtek Audio Manager. If there is maybe a few options here, I don't know.

• 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.

• Satellite A215-S4747 (internal and external) microphone does not work

  Hello

  I write about my wife by Satellite A215-S4747 running Windows XP.
  A few months ago as the built-in microphone and external microphone has stopped working.

  This made me think it was a driver problem, although no issue in
  Control Panel > sounds and Audio devices > equipment for all drivers.

  I went through the Troubleshooting Wizard, but that did not help.
  I went and downloaded drivers RealTek HD Audio (R2.67), but that didn't fix it.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Thank you

  Peter

  I want to emphasize that this machine is about 6 years old, making the possibility of some parts break most likely...

  Hello

  Sound works. Right? Well well, in that case I n t think that it is an audio driver problem.

  First of all, I think you should check some basic settings.
  (1) mic device.
  Go to the control panel-> sounds and Audio-> Audio-> sound recording devices
  Here you check if device right microphone has been selected

  (2) mic volume
  Go to the control panel-> sounds and Audio devices-> Audio-> audio-> Volume
  Here you check if the volume is at max level
  Additional button Advanced should be available at the bottom of the mic volume control click that it and check if the mic push in checked.

  Have you installed some tools or software which may affect (disabled) the microphone?
