USB Microphone (headset) do not pick up sound

• Active microphone but do not pick up sound on the Samsung QX411-W02UB (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop Samsung QX411-W02UB refurbished with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and everything was going a lot until I've decided to try Skype and noticed that the microphone did not work. I'm starting to think that maybe since it is a used laptop, the microphone can just be pulled.
  I downloaded the RealTek HD Audio Driver, enabled in his preferences and set the volume and levels of boost to their maximum values (100% and + 36.0dB, respectively). I have all disabled devices shown, the only other being "Stereo Mix - RealTek High Definition Audio - Ready." I tested the microphone with this second 'device' on and off, inside and outside of Skype.
  Here's what he did:
  The bar on the right side of the active microphone (microphone - Realtek High Definition Audio - Default Device) has a few green flickering bars as if the microphone works for about 1 to 7 seconds, but then everything stops. I spoke directly to the microphone and nothing happens. When I do a test call on Skype with Echo/Sound Test Services, I hear no reading of my voice.
  I made an audio recording of troubleshooting, and it detects no problem (I've seen all the details and they all say "not present delivers". I've also updated everything need be updated (restarts and all).
  So it's pretty much my problem. I wouldn't want to return a laptop because the built-in microphone did not work. I hope I described it well enough. I worked on it for about 6 hours now so my brain becomes blurred and tired at all.
  Is there possible solutions to this problem or it looks like I'll have to use an external mic?
  Thank you in advance!

  Hi, thanks for the response.

  I tried to do what you suggested, without success.
  After I posted this, I discovered in fact two other problems with hardware, so it looks like I'll return it.
  Thanks again! I appreciate it.

• Paviliion dv7: external Microphone not Picking Up Sound

  Hello
  
  I recently bought a product that works better with direct external headphones. It was my first time ever using one with my laptop. When I went through the set up process, the microphone would pick up all the sounds and I couldn't hear anything through the external listener.  I tried to use the microphone and headphone port as well as the helmets of the different with the same result. Headsets work very well on other devices.
  
  When I use only ordinary headphones connected via the helmet, I hear very well.
  
  I went to control panel > hardware and sound > Sound > manage Audio devices to solve problems, but nothing has worked. I tried to update the latest drivers and I was told later are already installed.
  
  Is the name of the product: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product # (NOT the serial number) is: B5R46UA #ABA
  The external microphone is called: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
  
  Please advise,

  Hi @chriscinthed ,

  You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop. It will also fix the sound.

  When you perform a system restore Please note remove all USB devices and headphones. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

  Speaking to Rosetta Stone said headsets for use with the software here is for Plug-and-Play technology for the connected USB headset. Other computers you've tried have the Beats Audio.  To turn on or off the Beats Audio, press the fn in combination with the b button. Decision-making has influence on the Beats Audio which may need to be turned off. Then, try the microphone.
  You guarantee that you plug the microphone headset in the selection for the helmets on the laptop.

  Thank you.

• Built in microphone will not pick up sound for Windows speech recognition

  My Dell Inspiron 1545 with a built-in mic, but for some reason any it don't will pick up any sound at all for the Windows speech recognition (Windows Vista).

  Hi Matthew,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.

  Have you checked to see if the correct settings have been selected for the microphone in the computer?

  Try to access the control panel > Sound > Audio. Check the recording tab if the Microphone is on and working. Click on set up and once you see the working driver (i.e., reacts to your voice), right click on it and the default value.

  Later try to put in place the program of speech recognition in all programs > Accessories > accessibility > Windows speech recognition and try settings different microphone to the edge we respond to your voice.

  You can also try to update the audio drivers. Access the link below and try to download the drivers.

• X 51 headset does not work after nearly three years of work very well

  I got my X 51 since August 2014 with no problems. Since a few days ago, the microphone on my headset (Vibration of genius) has stopped working. The headphones work fine.

  I tried the front of rear catch and two different helmets - even. Same headphones on different external co work very well.

  Manage Audio, micro devices has the default value. Nothing is cut according to the levels.

  Downloaded the latest drivers from Realtek, run the installer twice (which uninstalls and reinstalls) - no change.

  When I go to hardware and audio, he has his usual - manage Audio devices, where I did these things. There is also a NVidia control panel with a tab to Set Up Digital Audio, but that just seems to post a link to the Audio devices to manage. Under hardware and sound, there is also an Alienware Audio option (which I don't remember seen before), but still, nothing is cut.

  I tested the microphone on the recording of the acoustic window tab, but no green lines rise when I talk. I also tried a video game, with in-game talk (Mechwarrior Online), no luck there. I also tried the call sound test on Skype, no luck there.

  I'm not sure things:

  I have three listed under record on my acoustic window: Microphone, Line In and Stereo Mix - the other two are disabled...?

  I read something that suggested to uninstall the driver manually and reinstall, but I know not where to do. For example, according to uninstall programs, I see an Nvidia HD Audio Driver 1.3.34.3 which was installed a couple of days - very probably the same day that my microphone no longer works. There is actually a half dozen NVidia components installed so far-should I just uninstall all?

  I read a suggestion on these forums about ePSA running, so I did - and not that fast - and he said no problems.

  I tried the system restore to two days ago, has not always worked. (I'm trying to overthrow that now)

  Only options I can think are either use AlienRespawn to reset to the factory settings, and if it does not, in my view, that I still have the Alienware W7 install disc - could start all over again.

  Any other suggestions before I resort to that?

  1. There were two jacks for headphones and microphone - which is analog?

  2. I plugged a microphone to the USB - a literal hand micro - and it worked!

  3 do suggest that material analog microphone is broken?

  4. maybe a USB headset work until I get fixed t?

  1 Yes
  2. right kind USB still works. Microphones and USB based headsets do not use the analog sound card hardware at all. They use the circuits of USB and USB-Audio corresponding to the device drivers.
  3. Yes.
  4. Yes. Apart from the replacement of the motherboard, it would be the solution. They make nice Helmets on USB gaming these days here.

• Microphone wireless stereo Headset & USB Bluetooth adapter is not working

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A110-225 with a stereo Headset & Bluetooth wireless USB adapter. I installed the bluetooth stack update from the Toshiba site, but even after the build-in microphone still does not work. The audioplayback works very well. I also tested the headset with my Nokia phone and the microphone worked fine. I checked all the audio settings (recording) in Windows XP Home Edition, but it seems fine. What's wrong?

  Kind regards

• My external microphone of my headset does not recognize my ASPIRE V5 - 561

  VN7 - 591G

  I have this headset http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g230-stereo-gaming-headset | It has two plugs, one for the microphone to the headphones.

  My computer acer laptop has only a plug combo, so I bought a splitter 3.5 mm http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-dual-3-5mm-mini-headphone-jack-adapter-black/4561008.p?id=12190...

  Now, when I plug my splitter and select HELMET in the audio options, the headset works perfectly, however he won't get my microphone. * If I plug JUST the microphone without the microphone splitter gets picked up and works as expected. (works even to JUST connect the headset.)

  All my drivers are up to date, because I searched through countless messages of forum trying to find a solution to this problem.

  Need help please, I really don't want to have to be a separate USB microphone when this headset is perfectly fine and works normally. :/

  Hello

  I have the same laptop and no problem with a combo helmet. But I do not use any adapter from the factory, the helmet with just a single dose.

  However, if you have exactly the separator you have posted here, it's for 2 headsets, not a combo headphone and microphone. You can see that the output does not have three rings on it, which is the case for a combo microphone jack and the speaker.

  Just look at this picture:

  https://LNV.i.lithium.com/T5/image/serverpage/image-ID/169i7439D0FCBFE8A695?v=v2

  You can see that the 3.5 mm Jack has three black on it, rings to separate contacts for sound and the microphone.

• Microphone detected but not windows do not receive sounds?

  I use windows 7 Sony Vaio laptop.  My laptop detects the internal mic, but also all other microphones. But it is not picking up all the sounds. My external microphones are working perfect with all the other PCs and mobile devices. I tried the solutions for the following problems, but nothing has worked.

  1. the microphone is close enough to pick up voices. Make sure that the microphone is positioned close enough and you speak directly into it.
  2. the microphone is muted. Some microphones have an external control for muting. Make sure that the mute control is disabled.
  3. the microphone input level is too low. Make sure that the microphone input level is set correctly.
  4. the microphone connections are not properly attached.
  5. a different microphone is selected to be used with speech recognition.
