Satellite U400 - internal microphone is too quiet

I'm running on Windows 7 x 64. I downloaded the latest audio drivers (4.98.6.61) and is now the internal mic very quiet even if its volume is on max.

I had Vista x 64 before and everything was ok. I tried the drivers for Vista on Windows 7, but nothing has changed - still quiet mic.

Thank you for advice.

Hello

I had the same problem with my Satellite U400, but on Vista. After updating the audio driver and the BIOS, the problem still existed.
After searching a bit here in the forum, I have activated the microphone amp and this was the solution! :)

1. open the 'control panel' (Standard view)
2. click on 'hardware and sound '.
3. click on "sound."
4. click on the "Recording" tab
5. mark the Microphone and press the button "Properties".
6. click on the tab customize and set the Microphone Boost control

Check it!

  • Satellite A100: internal microphone does not work

    Well well, my type cell phone (or so it is said) is a Satellite A100, I have everything (I think) works fine, but it is only when I try to use my built-in mic phone the problem starts, it won't work!

    It is said there is a built-in microphone, but the bar will not move as he cannot hear my voice, even when I'm screaming! I tried on msn thinking it was a small problem, but he said that had heard no noise!

    It worked fine when I plugged my microphone in my webcam installed, but the problem is now, my older brother was and broken than microphone and I wanted that my only integrated to work but is not!

    He said that the microphone is a Realtek audio HD with SRS, so I need to know if anyone can help me with this? Please?

    Hello

    Could you post a detailed laptop Satellite A100-xxx name?
    It would be very interesting to know if the laptop supports an internal microphone or not.

    To my knowledge, some of the A100 don t support the internal mic and that is why you should use the external mic

  • C50-A-146 satellite's internal microphone does not

    Dear Forum,

    Yesterday morning my microphone internal on my C50-A-146 suddenly stopped working. It usually works no problem I use it every day via Skype.

    The microphone picks up now only static noise. It records the sounds when I press the microphone, and also when he jumped on.

    I tried reinstalling the audio drivers and checked all the settings sound and restored by default, but without success.

    Running Windows 8 and the laptop is only around the age of 7 months.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    > Running Windows 8 and the laptop is only around the age of 7 months.
    It seems that the laptop is still under warranty. So if the microphone hardware malfunctions, the laptop must be repaired for free.

    But before talking about hardware problems, I recommend you test different solutions of workaround.
    First of all I recommend you to check the parameters of the microphone within the healthy zone (Panel of-> sound-> recording tab).

    Here, you should see devices available and enabled.
    In the case where the internal MIC is listed, check if it s set as default device.

    In the case where you will find all the problems here, I recommend you to take the next step: HARD drive recovery.

    HARD drive recovery would fix the laptop back to factory settings.
    Note: before you perform this backup the personal data.
    To start the recovery of HARD drive, turn on the device, press F12 and choose the last option called HARD drive recovery.

    After this procedure, you must test the internal microphone again.
    If it will not work even if the laptop has been to the factory settings, the problem of equipment might be possible, and in this case, you should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country

  • Satellite P100-219 - sound is too quiet

    Got one with Conexant chip.
    There is only one pilot there and probably defective. I can not access the property page, just the generic Volume control. Everything to the top and still too quiet sound, especially on headphones - barely audible.

    In addition, the sound is in a bad mood and a jerk a little. It is understood for example when clicking on the volume slide a few times, it comes from the coughes and cracks.

    All tried, even reinstall. Any ideas?
    [email protected]

    In addition, you can consult the page of the Toshiba driver for the audio driver update.
    But I agree with the user above. The crackling could occur due to various processes that run in the background of the OS.

  • Satellite U400-200: Microphone does not work, drivers fails

    I'm from the Spain and I just bought a new laptop (Toshiba U400-200), I put Windows XP and I need an audio driver. I guess this is the microphone because it does not work. When I see the material, it is not a driver: "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus".
    Can someone help me with this driver. I tried a lot of pilots, but they don't work!
    Is my Windows XP Service Pack 2

    Thank you!!

    Hello

    First of all the internal mic belongs to the internal webcam.
    You must install the software of webcam also.

    Second, before install you the audio driver for Win XP you must install the MS patches; KB835221 and KB888111
    These hotfixes must be installed before installing driver sound!

    After the installation of these two MS fixes you could follow up with the audio driver installation.

    Hello

    Have you checked the microphone recording level?
    Microphone level settings are in the utility of Microphone level.

    Hold down on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select form of recording devices submenu. Select the Microphone and the Properties tab.
    On the level tab, move the Microphone slider to increase or decrease the level of the microphone.

    If you feel that the volume of the microphone level is inadequate, move the slider for Microphone Boost to a higher level.

    PS: this and other details about your device are in the user manual ;) so read it if you want to know how your camera works and how to use it

  • Satellite U400 - a newer driver for microphone

    Please help me, I tried everything on my Satellite U400 to fix the microphone, but I won't be able to fix because the drivers are not good and they are OLD 2009
    I need new drivers to fix my micro Satellite U400, please where can I find more recent drivers then from the year 2009?

    Thank you.

    Hey Scooby,

    Satellite U400 is old model of laptop and I don t think there are driver updates published. I think that it s everything is ok with the old sound driver that otherwise Toshiba would release an update or something.

    The microphone is a part of webcam, so you need to update the driver for the webcam also. Take a look at the Toshiba page for the new driver of the webcam.

    I checked a little the Toshiba page and Satellite C650 has Conexant audio chip too. Newer drivers are available for this model of laptop and normally the drivers should work on your model too. It's worth a try ;)

  • Satellite C650-PKI comes with an internal microphone?

    I had my C650 PKI for several months, but have barely had time to try Skype.

    Internal Mike are not not in the language options. I was told when I bought the laptop he had an internal microphone, but not webcam.

    However I can't get the mike to work if there is one, then wonder a. This portable version has a microphone? and B.

    If I accidentally deleted the software what should I try to install?

    Hello

    > This portable version has a microphone?

    I can't find the model of the laptop Satellite C650-PKI.
    Are you sure that the number is good? What is the full number of this laptop model?

    In General, the internal mic belongs to the webcam so I think that the internal MIC is not available if the webcam is not available.

    > However I can't the microphone to work if there is a
    Usually the Skype should automatically recognize the microphone.
    In Skype settings, you should be able to choose the microphone; an external or internal (as appropriate). If this is not possible, then I guess that the laptop has no internal microphone.

    By the way; in Control Panel-> sound-> recording tab, you should see the available micro device

  • Satellite P500 - noise varies and is too quiet

    Hello again,

    I had some problems with speakers this time.
    Since there are Harmon/Kardon speakers installed in the computer, the sound itself is fine.
    However, it is not.

    Sound is too quiet, even if I listen to music on the max volume.
    As well, I noticed the sound fluctuates all the time and there are crackling noises.
    All audio drivers are up to date, but they did not help.

    Could you please tell, what's the problem? Thank you!

    Perhaps what is its volume in the drive that you use low upgraded? Select this check box.

    Friend of mine has bought Satellite P500 last month. We have installed OS, created recovery discs and tested sound using Skype, Winamp, Windows Media Player and watch blu - ray discs.
    With the sound, everything seems to be OK.

  • Is Satellite 1900 305 supports internal microphone

    Apologize in advance for what I'm afraid is a stupid question, but need a final answer before I spend more time investigating the potentially futile.

    Satellite 1900-305 has a built in microphone?

    I'm trying to get my friend (whose book it is) upward and running with Skype. See "sound and Audio" capacity/parameters in the control gives the 'impression' Panel is a built-in microphone, I was not able to get Skype or Microsoft Sound Recorder works, so suspect it is not. If this is the case, any suggestions for a cheap microphone and where to get a greatly appreciated.

    Running XP Home Edition SP2 and just downloaded latest version of Skype.
    Not sure about the audio drivers.
    In my view, there are some drivers available here as of June 2008, which I think are more recent than those currently installed and will gladly download and try if it has an internal microphone and the answers are that is what I have to do.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > Is the Satellite 1900 305 has a built in microphone?
