  • External Microphone problem - Splitter?

    Hello

    I just bought a thinkpad t410i, as well as a helmet of lenovo p550.

    Problem is, there is only one socket in the thinkpad and two sons on the helmet - one for the helmet, one for the microphone.

    When I plug the cable from the headset, the headset works fine and the microphone does nothing. But when I plug the microphone instead, nothing happens.

  • Satellite M50 - Microphone problem

    no idea what can happen if I can't use the microphone on my M50?

    I tried all kinds of ways and different configurations of the properties of the record, but it still does not work. I don't think that there is a problem with the hardware (but still there) because I checked the drivers and all, and they were very good. check the microphone itself, it works fine on another computer. unless the micro jeck broke that sounds a bit unlikely.

    any suggestions I can try to find the problem?

    Hello, William

    Are you sure that your device has an internal microphone? In my opinion, there is no problem because, not according to the specification, there is no microphone on board.

    Start little app called sound recorder and then try to save something. If nothing can be saved there is certainly no microphone on board.

    Good bye

  • Built-in microphone problem Satellite L300D

    I got my satellite L300D (model # PSLC8C-06100F) on a year ago, and when I got to use Skype, he couldn't find a microphone.
    I assumed that, unlike my previous satellite the L300D just didn't come with a built-in microphone.

    However, a few weeks ago, I was on Skype and having problems with the headset I had plugged, and when I unplugged it I suddenly had great sound that passes through the built-in mic, I thought wasn't there!

    The problem is that I couldn't to find much - not to mention make it work again - since once.
    What happens here?
    I obviously HAVE a built-in microphone, but my computer or Skype can seem to find.

    If anyone can help out me on this, I would be very grateful!

    Hello

    If your Satellite L300D takes in charge the internal webcam then the internal microphone should be available also.
    Generally, the parameters of the internal microphone not found in the control panel-> sound-> the recording tab.
    Please check the settings there

    It would be also desirable to update the audio driver.

    Good luck

  • ThinkPad T420 recovery problem

    Hi all

    I need your help. I have a problem with ThinkPad T420. When I am pressing ThinkVintage or F11 to get into recovery, it loads and then I get this message below;

    Link to image

    Don't know how to solve this problem, thank you!

    If partitions System_DRV and Lenovo_Recovery (q) has not been resized or corrupt, R & R should work. So, I guess to upgrade/reinstall application Lenovo Rescue & recovery via ThinkVantage System Update because there are a lot of conditions to perform this task manually (eg. There are several options for deployment and language packs).

    If this does not help, it could be better and more quickly to create a Lenovo recovery media, it's almost the same Lenovo recovery environment you try to start using BB or F11:
    -make it from Lenovo R & R application, advanced mode, rescue media
    - or simply deploy a .iso file image:
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrcd

    Note, in any case, it is a good practice to have this rescue media.

    If you want to reset the laptop to the factory scene, do it from recovery media factory Lenovo.

  • Blocking of the Lenovo Thinkpad T520 disc problem

    Hello friends of Lenovo!

    I've got ThinkPad T520 and I really like it, but there is no question that makes me worried about the security of the data. There is a moment when the hard drive becomes hang for about a minute. This is the rate, usually happens when you try to connect to Windows 7... interface is still active, but hand disk is hang (green led is always on), it seems that everything is blocked because of the disc, but looks like it's doing nothing during that time. There are also some rare cases, when happens when I do work on it.

    I don't know what the reason for this problem. I guess it could be either:

    (a) internal (maybe physical) defects in HDD OR

    (b) there are some services in Windows 7 that allows to hang so long (my Windows directory is about 17 GB! He was already fat after the installation, I'm the second user of this computer, I bought it a month ago, still 2 years of guarantee).

    The hard drive is C300-MTFDBAK128MAG (SSD). You have a similar experience with this computer / hard disk?

    I called support in Poland call center today and they suggested to:

    (1) execute and test Windows 7 mode 'diagnostic' (msconfig) OR

    (2) the hard drive firmware update OR

    (3) send the computer to service center

    Obviously I don't want to waste time, because I use this computer for work. Do you know what could be the problem and what to do better to fix?

    Thank you very much!

    It's weird... The C300 should yield much more information?

    How to activate Audio devices hidden in Vista and Windows 7
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/143447-audio-device-enable-hidden-devices.html

    Connect one microphone, music player or other audio device to your computer (you want to be sure
    the mic input is enabled)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/connect-a-microphone-music-player-or-other-audio-device-to-your-computer

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    After the updated driver.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
    Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change
    .

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
    is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

  • Dell Inspiron 15 5559 and Cortana & microphone problem

    I read over and over again, it was the Inspiron 15 5559 microphone works, but will not work if you try to use Cortana. I returned two of these units and all had this problem. Now, I found that if I back the Realtek Audio driver, the microphone works according to Cortana. But the question becomes as the equalizer cancelled also, making the speakers almost unhearable. Can we get someone to be updated the Realtek drivers to work properly with Windows 10 and Cortana? It's been months and months and still there is no update driver to resolve this issue.

    If you know the RealTek chipset on your laptop, its possible you can go to the Web to RealTek website and download a driver generic windows 10.

    Hello. The chip in the Inspiron 15 5559 is Realtek ALC3234, but all we need to know in order to get a driver from Realtek, is either an AC97 (before 2006) chip or a HD chip. Here is the path

    1. go to the Realtek download selection page. www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads
    2. on the page, click on 'High Definition Audio Codecs.
    3. check "I accept", then "next".
    4. (optional) in the column named "Description" find the file named README and download it. Who has the instructions for the installation or update.
    5. in the column named "Description" select your operating system and if it is 32-bit or 64-bit of 2 choices in the list.
    6. in the column named "Download", click one of the server names to download the driver.

    Hello =) thanks for helping me!

    So I checked for a new driver, but the link in the Microsoft Web page is corrupt. I also of course on that volume, and that's ok. Some people commented on some option "playback" or something like, but he could not find anywhere.

    I try to use the microphone with MSN, Team Speak, Skype and some games like Team Fortress 2.

    I don't think that this is the driver because I used to use this headset when I was running XP as a platform, and it worked perfectly. I did not remember how to reinstall the operating system, so I don't want to create new problems with it. I have read some other forums that many people have similar problems with micro-LX-3000. In my case, it is not something physically, but I guess that's a bad configuration. What I have to change something in the sound options to make it work?

    Thanks again :D

    Control Panel > sound > recording tab...
     
    Micro helmet by default (headset must be plugged or not displayed)
     
    Next
     
    Select the Microphone of the headset, and then click the properties button
     
    Now, click the levels tab
     
    Adjust the volume at least 75%
