Problem of sound recording volume control

I just installed a USB turntable and I have a problem: when I go to control panel, sounds and devices, click the Audio tab, in the field of sound recording, the volume button is gray out and inactive. The turntable is the record - but it's a recording at a too low volume and I would like to increase the volume. But with the Volume key is inactive, I am unable to do so. How can I increase the volume of the sound recording if this button is disabled? Thanks in advnace for your answer.

    Open Device Manager (right click on my computer > properties > hardware > Device Manager) and search for "imaging devices". Click on the + to expand the category.  There is a warning (yellow!)? Right-click and select Properties.  Is it the box at low say "use this device (enable)"? If not, do so and click OK.

    While still in the Device Manager, click on the + next to "Sound, video controllers and game."  Locate the entry of your webcam microphone. There is a warning (yellow!)? Right-click and select Properties.  Is it the box at low say "use this device (enable)"? If not, do so and click OK.

    Take a look at control panel > sounds and Audio devices

    Click on the tab "Audio".  What is the default device for sound recording?  It should be your webcam; If this is not the case, adjust it using the drop-down list box.  Same thing for the "Voice" tab and the default device for voice recording.  Be sure to click on the "Apply" or the OK button.

    Click Start , point to programs , point toAccessories , point to entertainment and then clicksound recorder .  That you get error messages when you open or you try to open the sound recorder? If so, please include the entire message, without paraphrase, in your response.

  • Problems of sound recording in Windows 7

    My wife has just purchased Dragon speech-to-text software and try to make it work. When she speaks into the microphone, the software shows that it is to hear his voice (levels bounce up and down with the cadence of his voice), but Dragon indicates that he has trouble hearing.

    She then went to Windows Sound recorder and it is very well made. But then in Control Panel, when you go through devices to configure the microphone and try to run this process, he also complains that he cannot hear. Is attached a screenshot of the dialog that appears in this process.

    The fact that it works in sound recorder makes me think that the device driver levels levels micro, etc. must be correct and functional. So it's strange to me that the thing in Control Panel does not work as it is also part of Windows.

    Any ideas what might be happening here? We have removed and re - detect the hardware and reinstalled the device drivers and none of this has made a difference.

    His is an all-in-one machine Acer Aspire running Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Thank you... Rogers

    Hello Roger,.

    According to the description, I understand that the microphone on your device becomes an audio input, however, there are problems during the recording of the voice. I will certainly help you in this matter. To better understand the issue, I would like to ask you a few questions.

    1. You use a headset to record the sound?

    2. You have installed all the latest drivers for the computer?

    3. Have you installed an antivirus software?

    4. What Dragon speech-to-text version are you using?

    I suggest you test the compatibility of the software with windows 7 to do this, click on the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/home

    This problem may occur when there is a conflict with the driver or problems with registration of the components. I suggest you try the following methods to diagnose and resolve the problem.

    Method 1: Recording Audio Troubleshooter

    It checks the common issues, for example by ensuring that both a map of his work and a recording device are installed on your computer. To do this, click on the link below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-recording-audio-Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    I also suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode. By this, you can install a program more former who maybe isn't compatible with your version of windows. For more information on this subject, click on the link below.

    Hello team,

    When you use Skype to video chat online, my microphone recording device began an absurd behavior. I can hear clearly the voice of the other party, but my voice that them is very disturbed with a lot of background noise. Even when I check its recording through the sound recorder and read it, it sounds too similarly troubled. Can anyone please help...

    Hi Priya,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that the other party is unable to hear your voice clearly during your Skype conversation and also through the sound recorder.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - problem with volume control

    Hello

    I have a problem with my volume control. He worked for the first two months of use value, but now refuses to lower the sound.
    He sort of stutters and actually transforms the sound upward when you turn, he 'left' to drop.

    I markets DEAMS it is a digital control and therefore is not a point 'end' like other laptops. I also noticed others are experieicing this problem.

    Is there a solution to this problem? I don't really like having to manually click on the volume control in the status bar on the window in order to be able to turn the laptop down. Maybe someone can help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In your case, I recommend reinstalling the audio driver and controls (with Win XP) Toshiba or Toshiba VAP (if Vista is installed).
    In addition, you should check if the BIOS can be updated too.

    Sorry for this suggestion, but in my opinion that the question must be related software and the fact is that driver sound and the VAP multimedia button controls and the sound card.

    It of certainly worth a try

  • All the sounds that are specifically related to the Microsoft system works not-missing the system tray volume control and Accessories Entertainment empty folder.

    I have no volume control icon in the system tray and my Accessories Entertainment folder is empty.  I can play the sound through iTunes and VLC media player but is no longer the Player Windows Media can play CDs or mp3 files.  I have more Microsoft system sounds and the sounds of a large number of online streaming sites no longer play unless I can their route via iTunes or VLC media player.  Windows Media Player says missing codecs if I try to play mp3 files.  I have upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 to see if that would bring codecs, but without any result.

    My problems were not related to the missing CODECS.

    I knew the sound on my system was basically correct, given that I was able to listen to free VLC Player I downloaded to replace the Windows Media Player while he was not working.

    However, the solution to my problem of noise was really simple, but the answer was just very complicated track.

    I noticed that a lot of the chatter about similar problems on other forums was related to Adobe Flash Player.

    I had recently upgraded to the latest versions all Adobe products on my system.  I didn't make the connection that Adobe software could affect all the sounds of Microsoft.

    Finally, after doing a Google search on Adobe Flash Player issues, I found a partial solution:

    Here's an exact quote:

    Very well, the problem is really the wavemapper mapping in the registry of Windows such as reported by a member of the forum.

    All you have to do is to open the registry editor by going to start menu, run, type regedit, then Enter.
    After that, in Registry Editor, navigate yourself in the left pane until you reach

    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

    And then in the pane, right-click and click New, select string value, enter "wavemapper" (without the quotes, of course), ENTER, enter "msacm32.drv".
    Come in.

    Well, of course, it didn't work the first time. I received this message:

    the Registry Editor cannot rename the new value #1. The specified value name already exists. Type another name and try again

    I was puzzled for a while, until I saw someone in the forum with a similar problem mentioned that they had found a fix for this problem by granting permissions subkey. This led me to Google search for registry permissions.

    After that here, that's what I had to do, and although it seems that a lot of steps, it's really very simple:

    Once I had reached the drivers32 registry entry I pointed out the entry in the right pane. Mine said (default) REG_SZ (value not set). I then clicked on change on the Bar Menu and clicked on permissions on the menu drop down.

    This opens the permissions for Drivers32. I highlighted at the entrance of the Administration and click the Advanced button.

    This opens the "Advanced Drivers32 security settings. I made sure that I was under the permissions tab in this window. I noticed that the box called "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here"was checked. Yet once, I did ensure that the entrance of the Administration has been highlighted and then I clicked on the button change.

    This opens the "permission for Drivers32 entry. I chose "this key and subkeys" apply to: falling to the bottom of this window. Then, I checked the full control checkbox. I clicked on OK.

    I clicked on apply advanced Drivers32 window security settings.

    I clicked on apply permissions for Drivers32 window.

    Once that I had done it all a lot more entries appeared in the right pane for Drivers32 including my wavemapper entry. This is where all along; Quite simply, there is not all the permissions to do anything, including being in the registry pane.

    I left the registry and now all my sounds are back and the volume icon is once again in my system tray. Who would have thought?

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Sound only works if I constantly change the volume control.

    Hello

    The sound on this Dell Inspiron One 19 t works only if I jiggle the volume control constantly.  The drivers are up to date and the only thing I can add is that this problem started when I reinstalled Windows 7 after a BSOD.  I tried to use Puppy Linux using a live CD, and even who could understand the question sound, even if it has detected the sound architecture right and everything is configured.  Just always had this problem.  So now I'm using Windows 7 and have installed all the updates and still I can't hear sound if I move the slider volume up and down.  It is therefore completely useless without good audio playback.

    I searched and searched on the internet and it doesn't seem to be a very common problem, and nobody is mentioning the same problem with the conexant smartaudio driver windows 7.  In any case... I'm a little sick of these computer things now... just full of bugs provided by companies billions of dollar, which tends to support you unless you pay them $ more.

    Please do not answer in an audio format or I won't be able to hear it :)

    The currently installed driver may be reported as the latest version, but he could have become corrupt and therefore not working properly.

    So, even if the driver is updated, you might find that download and install the driver from the Dell support site will fix the problem.

  • Satellite A110-142 - Volume Control/Sound Drivers are missing

    After using my laptop for a period of time yesterday, I realized that the audio had failed, I checked the volume settings and found that the volume control icon missing from the taskbar. After further investigation, it seems that the audio hardware device drivers are missing and a code 39 error message appears. I tried to update the drivers (the system tells me that there is no appropriate updates), then I tried to uninstall and reinstall devices, nothing helps.

    In addition, I tried to do a system restore but whenever it does not work. I don't know if the two problems are related, but I'm at a loss on how to restore the audio features.

    Any help to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Before continuing to chat about it can you please tell us what operating system do you use?

    By the way: perhaps you should back up all your data and install the new OS by using the original recovery disk. After that what you do will have the laptop with the factory settings. This will be the best option to check if there is perhaps a few hardware malfunction.
