USB headset connected to PC speech recognition does not work

* Original title: can not make headphones work

I installed a software that involves speech recognition.  I plugged my USB to the PC headset, but when I tried to use Set Up microphone in the control panel / recognition speech nothing works.  I have connected the headphones to an other PC Win7 and it works perfectly, in fact I could stop using a keyboard.

I reconnected the headset with the first PC and still nothing happens, but I see a message saying "recognition speech could not start checking the Audio devices and sound themes".  I can't find it.

I looked in devices and printers in CP and found the helmet (C-Media USB headphone set) when I look in Properties / General there is a message "device cannot start (Code 10)".  When I check the driver tells me that the driver is up-to-date.

When I shut down and restart the PC with headphones connected to a USB port on the front of the PC, I hear a small amount of Crackle, but nothing else.  As I have already said, there is a message on the office, 'recognition speech could not start. and "speech recognition could not start checking the Audio devices and sound themes"

I have run Windows Update to see if there is an update there, but it makes no difference.

How can I talk to my PC using my headset?

Thank you

I tried 2 different USB ports on the front of the PC, no improvement.

I also looked into devices and printers (in Control Panel), the helmet does not show.  Also, when I look in device in CP Manager there is no exclamation point in audio, video and game controllers.

Usually, the front USB ports are connected by cables (often not armoured or not) to the USB controller in the back of a box of the desktop computer. If you haven't tried a rear USB port, please do. If your laptop no matter what USB port should be good.

You cannot control Audio through devices and printers. You don't say what version of Windows you are using. If you use a version of Windows with a bottom taskbar, RIGHT click ON the speaker down icon to the right of the taskbar. Select the recording devices. This will open the acoustic window. You should see a USB microphone in the list. See screenshot below. Highlight the USB microphone and set it as the default. This should solve your problem.

  • Speech recognition does not work

    It seems that MS speech recognition has bugs in Windows 7. At different times, he has different problems: can't set up a mic, cannot be enabled because "the language configuration is not supported." This seems to be the big problem. I tried to fix it with the online instructions, but could not find the fix said the statement was there.

    Hello

    Scenario 1: Problem with MIC.

    Before troubleshooting,

    1. make sure that the microphone is positioned close enough and you speak directly into it.
    2 make sure that the microphone cables are intact and unbroken. Make sure that the connections are loose and they fit perfectly into the computer.

    If the microphone input level is too low, make sure that the microphone input level is set correctly.
    Entry level to adjust the microphone

    1. Open Sound by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type sound, and then click sound.
    2. click on the recording tab.
    3. double-click on the microphone you are using speech recognition.
    4. click the levels tab and then use the slider to adjust the entry level for your microphone.

    Please make sure that the properties of the Microphone are set correctly and check if this solves the problem.

  • Satellite A30: Software Dragon Naturally Speaking speech recognition does not work!

    I am unable to get the speech recognition program 7.3 Preffered Dragon Naturally Speaking version to operate successfully on my laptop Satellite A30 P4, using Windows XP as the operating system. It works fine on my PC of similar specs as the Satellite A30. Speech recognition is very poor indeed with the Toshiba laptop. He was sent to the seller twice, but the problem is still not resolved. I know that this Dragon program works fine on other laptops.

    He is also unable to play some of my CD.

    I would like to know if the portable technology is unable to operate with Dragon speech recognition, or is the problem with the A30 series or with my specific computer?

    What characteristic specifications are necessary for the performance of Dragon with success of the Toshiba A30? This microphone is necessary? How many and what types of RAM? An additional sound card can be inserted into the laptop to improve performance?

    Help, please! Anyone with experience with Dragon speech recognition? What could be the problem of CD?

    [Edited by: admin on 19 June 05 14:33]

    Hello

    It's specific software problem and it is not easy to tell what can be the problem. In my opinion, it may be that his card on this unit has no performance you want. Sorry but I have no other explanation.

    These problems can be solved simply by contacting the producer of software because they have much more experience in troubleshooting.

  • can't connect to windows cuz fingerpreint does not work

    pls help me with this its driving me crazy

    BTW, the p/n is vj685ea #abv

    Hello

    Since the finger print reader does not and you have forgotten the password, you will need to reinstall the OS back to Windows that you are using Windows 7, in which you cannot reset the password until you have another administrator account.

    So once you reinstall the operating system, your computer will be set to the first day and you will lose all the data stored in the device or when running the system recovery, you can back up data by using the backup and then perform a system recovery.

    Control Panel-> speech-> speech options Advance open pick and choose the language (English in the United States). Try the word by far.

    There are several ways to correct mistakes made during dictation. You can say "correct that" to correct the last thing you said. To correct a single word, say "correct" followed by the word that you want to correct. If the word appears several times, all instances are highlighted and you can choose the one you want to correct. You can also add words that are often misunderstood or not recognized by using the speech dictionary.

      Note

      • To change a selection, in the Group of alternates dialog box, say "Spell" followed by the number of the item you want to change, click 'OK '.

  • PNY attached 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive recognized but does not work under the Windows 7 operating system

    I have an attached PNY 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive that works perfectly on Windows XP. But when I try to use it on a Windows 7 operating system, it is very few recognized by Windows 7. I mean at least, is that when I look for the device by exploring 'Computer' in the menu start the device does not appear at ALL. However, when I go to control panel-> hardware and sound-> devices and printers, it shows a device called "DISK 2.0" which I believe are 'minimum' recognition of this 8GB flash drive, I was talking about. Can someone help me get the recognition for this camera on Windows 7? Thank you.

    Edit: I noticed in Device Manager-> USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE-> Propteries the following for my optical mouse Microsoft and the PNY 8 GB flash drive

    The Microsoft Optical mouse is the location: Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0004

    On the MagicJack (USB Composite device) is the location: Port_ #0002.Hub_ #0007

    On the flash drive is the location: 0000.001d.0002.002.000.000.000.000.000

    3rd place property looks pretty weird (Im assuming that third location data for the flash player, since the only other USB devices are my Microsft mouse and the MagicJack I know is a composite device, but I'm wrong.  AMD Athlon 64 3200 + 1GIG memory ATI Radeon X800XL 250gig W.D. hard drive

  • Satellite 105-S157: USB 2.0 via a PCMCIA card does not work

    I installed the pcmcia card with BIOS update V2.1 and work under WIN XP sp2.
    It seems to work normally in Device Manager, but when I plugged in the USB, it may not recognise.
    If I can access usb PCMCIA ports.

    This laptop does support USB 2.0?
    How can I make it work?

    Please help?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is a brand new model Toshiba and I guess that it supports high speed USB 2.0.
    Sometimes, the operating system can not recognize external USB devices due to the limitation of power. The fact is that the USB port gives the 500mA. It is a standard value.
    If the USB device use a higher power, the OS cannot recognize and activated the device.
    In this case the external power supply is necessary. Another possibility is to use the USB hub with an external power supply.

    Best regards

    NASI

    Hello

    Don t be angry against me and sorry for my next hard words but these statements likethis laptop should have wirelessor I tried to connect and nothing happensare bulls * t!

    Do you know what is Wlan and how does it work?
    Regarding your statement I n t think so!

    First of all why you propose this notebook should support the WLan card! Who told you that!
    I checked the hardware configuration of this laptop and Satellite A60 743 was delivered WITHOUT WLan minPCI card!

    Why you n t check in the first step!
    You should check the WLan card availability in Device Manager. Under network adapters, you should see the wireless network card.

  • Windows wireless usb AS TP Link TL - WN822N Utility does not work

    This device has been installed on this computer in December 2011 and was active until I removed the unit in February to move to another city.  I was then cable internet service. In June of this year, I rebooted my Windows 7 operating system.  Now, I am wanting to re - install the device on this computer... I can download the appropriate driver, Device Manager indicates which driver I use and works correctly.  What I have a problem with is the utility program for the device.  It loads, but won't work at all.  It is stuck in advanced mode and I need to get into the mode of the system to set up the wireless network. This utility has worked in December, but will not work now.  I had this problem if I use the disc that came with the device or if I download the utility from the manufacturer. The only thing I can think is that a Windows Update is at the origin of the problem, but I would have no way of knowing what update is the cause of the problem. If I knew, I could remove it. At this point, I could re - install Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and disable the updates.  Then add each individually and see if it interferes with the utility.  It's a hassle I would rather.  Does anyone have a solution for this mess? Thank you.

    Hello

    Try contacting the manufacturer of software/hardware for any download needed for the utility is running.
