setting microphones

I have windows professional xp and install the logitech desktop microphone 600.  It does not work. assistance in windows px told to go the control panel under speec at speech recognition tab - but there is not a tab in my software-any ideas on how to make the microphone work?

Hello Hazelhay,

Thank you for your message.  No your microphone come with any software?  If so, have you used the disk to install the software?  If it did not come with any software you can go to the logitech website and download drivers for your device.
If you have already installed the software but also to your device.  Check in Control Panel, sounds and ensure that the input device is not defined in domestic, but rather the value to your device from logitech.
You can also try to check your device on another system.  This could prove that the device is or is not defective.
Please let us know if this information has been or has not helped to solve your problem.
See you soon

  • internal microphone not working not properly

    Sins, I bought my HP Pavilion dv7-7051ea a month ago, the internal microphone has never worked properly when I try to talk to my friends on Skype or voipwise. I have reinstold mic-no driver has not helped. Setting microphone on the Panel procedure did not help aither. Anibody, please help me solve the problem.

    Try the steps listed in this document from HP. He has the solutions and measures to isolate the most common problem.

    Maybe it's a hardware problem like an external microphone works without any problem, but I would like to know what is happening at every stage of the document as that will help determine if it is a hardware problem or not.

    Also, let me know the results of the procedure described in the help Windows Sound Recorder to test the microphone section. If this file is saved also exhibits the same behavior, it certainly isn't any software of third party at the origin of the problem.

  • HP ProBook b 6450: issues of analog tapes to CD writing / Line-In

    I have a HP Probook 6450 b, with 6 GB of RAM, running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit), equipped with the card its Intel(r) Audio display and the IDT Audio Control Panel, v. 1.0.6300.0.  I think I'm beyond the novice PC user and can even remove and swap the components of the laptop with success, although the will come I hope not at stake in connection with getting suggestions on the problem I have right now.

    I'm trying to convert some audio analog tapes to digital format, for the eventual conversion for CD ROM media  I have a cassette player, which will provide the single channel output.  I also have a copy of Audacity, which I think is my best bet for capture and recording audio input.

    I concede that I understand partially the role of the application of the IDT Audio Control Panel software installed, but I have noticed that it installs an Line-In option on the registration tab on the sound, under the Control Panel icon.  I tried to choose that and checked the Line-In input option under the configuration of Audacity.  I have 3.5 mm cable to connect the audio output of the tape drive to the input jack (MIC), on my laptop, but after several attempts, no audio output seems to be forwarded to the laptop and daring.  The microphone on the laptop works very well.  By plugging in an external speaker, I know that the cassette player's audio output.  My sound card doesn't have a dedicated Line-In plug, but I inferred that the IDT Control Panel has been able to fill this lack of a Line-In Jack with Microphone input jack.  And my cassette player, has only the single output (headphones) card available.

    I have studied this subject of conversion band a lot, and I think my set-up is basically correct, but I think there is just a problem between the IDT Audio Control Panel and Audacity - software and my ability to record analog audio content successfully.  I will actively monitor this announcement for the next few days and provide comments/answers ready to any solutions/options/suggested questions.   Thank you!

    Well, the answer to this question was not quite what I was hoping it would be, but there are a lot of questions out there, and perhaps a less number of responses (sort of a philosophical statement on life I guess...).

    Anyway, here's some good news (I'm happier when I solve my own problems - although part of bread crumbs scattered along the digital track by some other bloggers, and some advice from right-to-target to a great Audacity manual online, were the key to the solution.)

    Thus, it is a few steps (apparently) to get this band to Audacity output that are needed.  As for me (for later, when I forgot), that everyone, here are the steps:

    1. You must select the input parameters (Line-In) on Audacity
    2. You need to direct the sound output of the original device (tape player, etc.) to the Microphone Jack (not the headphone jack)
    3. On my HP laptop, you access the control panel IDT Audio and under the recording tab - set Microphone as the default recording device (it will probably have been set for initial internal Microphone as default device).
    4. You must ensure that your audio in the Control Panel icon, that tab Recording Microphone is set as the default device.
    5. The recommendation of Audacity tutorial, apparently, it is necessary in certain circumstances to track the Transport > Audio peripheral Rescan or restart Audacity instructions.
    6. From there, you will need to activate recording on Audacity and then adjust the audio output levels, on your output device original or on the audacity input slider.

    And since the pictures are always better, here is the proof of the pudding... or in this case the sound.  I hope others down the road will find this solution useful.  I'm marking this resolved.

  • Record Audio problem Dell Insipiron 14z (5423)

    Hello, thank you for coming to this post, I really appreciete it.

    I'm sorry if my language is not good enough for you, but now I have a problem with my audio recording problem. I don't know how long this problem has come, but when the first time I bought it, it works perfectly. But now this problem appears.

    My internal speaker is good, but my microphone is not, I don't know which one is the internal mic. but no sound at all, I checked f12 ePSA and he works for speaker but microphone is not, I checked 'set microphone' but this is impossible because no noise only from MIC and I can't do enchanment for calibration of the room because my mic have a weak signal or no signal because no noise from him.

    Please help me solve this problem, I don't know how to do next...

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello. You have chosen the right pair. Network of microphones is the internal mic. This is a pair of microphones located in the assembly of the webcam at the top of the display screen.

    Things that you can try are

    > Reinstall the audio driver IDT of the Inspiron 14z 5423 support page. When you arrive at this page, first select your operating system by clicking on the change OS selector:

    > Adjust the volume of the microphone and boost. Here is a screen shot of the path, but on your leave together from microphones:

    > If you have a program in your list of programs named Dell Webcam Central, open this program and find the microphone settings. Make sure that the microphone is not turned off.

    If none of these things fix the microphone, it may be damaged. To fix the microphone array would require replacement of the webcam.

    WSR, Windows speech recognition, is a freedom of expression to the app to text built into Windows (Vista, 7, 8 and 10). Go to control panel, speech recognition. First set microphone. Then take the speech tutorial to learn how to use the program and start WSR learn how you speak. Finally, Train your computer to better understand you. Assuming that your microphone isn't picking up the annoying background noise and you spell every word you speak, you would achieve high precision.

  • Speech recognition has problem with speech engine

    When I click on speech recognition, a "speech recognition is not supported in the colloquial" error. A "your current engine by default does not support this measure at the moment" error when I try to set microphone or one of the other options, like taking Word tutorial. I studied all the avenues that I can think of, including inspecting files in Word with a hex editor to see if they are corrupt. If it was possible to reinstall speech recognition, I would, but as far as I know, it does not seem possible. My laptop was originally a Windows Vista, but was upgraded to Windows 7, so I don't know if there is a problem during the upgrade. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Reading level setting computer microphone

    I have an application that uses the computer's sound card line to save audio files of outputs provided from another source.  We have several systems that receive these audio inputs of different devices and their audio to different output levels of each of these devices.  I have build a sequence of events that change the microphone level upwards or downwards to match the entry to a known sample level.  It uses the APPCOMMAND WM to change the volume of the microphone, see attached VI.

    What I'm trying to do is now made the microphone level after my sequence so I can refer to it later in the report.  The problem with the WM APPCOMMAND is that there is no feedback, I can only change up and down where it should be.

    I looked everywhere for the examples and it seems to help the Winmm.dll mixer settings, I should be able to get this information but everyone I try does not work.  From my research, it seems that he might work for Windows XP, but it changes in Windows VISTA and capable.  We are running Windows 7.  The other problem I have with examples is that they are all for the adjustment of the volume level and I want to read explicitly what level it's on.

    From my research I am reading the setting of the audio endpoint device and it might be able to do away with dsound.dll or MMDevice API, but I couldn't find a way to use one of these to do what I'm doing.

    I searched all over the Internet and more time on it then I would have so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else had any suggestions of sepent.

    Thanks in advance.

    Julia,

    Yes, I had looked at this link, and it's on the right track.  After all my research I understood that you needed to use MMDevices and Audio endpoints, but I didn't know how to implement it.  One of my co-workers have been able to help me with this.

    I have attached all of the code required to make it work.  It's a beautiful VI bit so give it a try and let me know what you think.

    Something to note is in my opinion, this will not work with Windows VISTA and above.

  • How to make the setting for the microphone internal on my Dell Vostro 1540/1550?

    The speakers work, but the microphone does not seem to be connected.

    Hello

    ·         What operating system do you use?

    ·         Were there recent changes made on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    Method 1:

    Try using the Audio playback problems troubleshooting to solve the problem. It search common problems with your volume settings, your sound card or driver and your speakers or a headset.

    Open the troubleshooting of Audio playback

     

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to update the latest audio drivers from the Dell website and check if it helps

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

     

    See also:

    Tips for solving common audio problems:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems

    Method 3:

    I suggest you try these steps,

    Step 1: Using Windows Sound Recorder to test the microphone.

    You can use this section to find out if the computer can record a signal from the

    Microphone and play again. Use Windows sound recorder to create an audio file using the following steps:

    a. Click Start, all programs, accessories, and then click Sound Recorder.

    b. click start recording and speak into the microphone.

    When you are finished recording, click on stop recording.

    Screen automatically opens.

    Type a file name and click Save. A type WAV or WMA file is created in the Documents folder.

    If you can record the Audio using the Microphone using the method above then theMicrophone works well.
    Now, it should work in any application that Supports Microphone. If the computer records the audio using the method above, then it might be a problem with the Microphone settings. Now, check the following settings.

    Step 2: activating the Microphone.

    a. Click Start, all programs, accessories, and then click Sound Recorder.

    b. click start recording and speak into the microphone.

    c. Recording tab showing a signal detected for the Microphone device

    Note: must have green check mark on that Microphone icon. Is no green check mark, this means that it is disabled. If there is no green mark on micro it never works. To activate the Microphone, right click on Microphone and click Activate. If you do not see the Microphone in the list, right click on the white space and select devices see the disabled. Then, you'd see the Microphone. However, if you don't see the green check mark on it, right-click on it and click Activate. Select Microphone and click on set as default (if defined as default button is active).

    If you see the green checkmark on Microphone the Microphone really works.

    Step 3: Increase the Microphone sensitivity and non-disabling the Microphone.

    a. Select Microphone and click the properties button.

    b. move the slider up to 100% of its range.

    c. If the mute is enabled, click the button mute to reactivate the device.

    d. If the Microphone Boost is available, amplify the volume.

    e. click OK to make the changes.

  • USB Microphone setting

    Suppose I have a USB microphone, with technical specifications, 16-bit, 48 kHz. Now, when I change the setting in the Audio hardware preferences, selecting anything other than 48K of the questions? Futher when you save an audio file, can I save it to higher bit depth. If Yes, how is it possible, as the microphone is only sending 16-bit per sample at a rate of 48K, and we are recording at the depth of bit higher and higher sampling rates.

    Once you have selected the device, then in theory you could save in any case; but only if you let the operating system, which it would almost certainly be automatically re - sample. So, a record at 48 k is definitely the way to go. If you need the result to a different sample rate, let hearing then - much higher quality conversion.

    Futher when you save an audio file, can I save it to higher bit depth. If Yes, how is it possible, as the microphone is only sending 16-bit per sample at a rate of 48K, and we are recording at the depth of bit higher and higher sampling rates.

    You can save to a greater depth of bit - but all that will happen is if, for example, you have saved in a 24 bit file, the 8 least significant bits are backed up by zeros.

    Bottom line - your microphone provides a binary stream of 16-bit 48 k. Nothing you can do will improve the quality of this; You'll end up just using more storage for the same signal, and if we re - sample on the way, a lower result.
