Ventrilo and Microphone does not.

Cannot enable DirectSound for the selected device.
DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed. HR = DSERR_NODRIVER. No sound driver is available for use

That's what I get when I open Ventrilo. Any suggestions on where to find the driver, I need to get this working?

Hello Reetz,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Vista Community Forums.

1. ensure that your audio drivers are correctly installed and up-to-date.
2. in some cases, the drivers are properly installed and the error persists, open teamspeak, go into the settings menu and open the 'Options '.
3. in the "Sound Devices" tab, change the audio of 'Wave' driver if it was set to 'Direct3dSound' and change to "Direct3dSound" if it has been set to 'Wave' and then press 'Ok '. Close teamspeak and reopen it.

You can also browse the links for more information on ventrilo and try to contact them if the problem persists.
http://www.Ventrilo.com/FAQ.php
http://www.Ventrilo.com/about.php
http://www.Ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=1

Also, follow the steps below to check if the Microphone is properly configured and enabled in Vista.

Step 1: Test of an audio signal
1. click on start, then Control Panel.
2. click on hardware and sound and then click on manage audio devices...
3. click on the recording tab.
4. to test the microphone, speak into it. To test the line, send a signal to the line at the port of devices audio source (press play on the audio player). Look at the gray bars next to the name of the device under the recording tab:
* If the gray bars next to the device name turns green, this device is active and an audio signal is passed through the microphone or line-in port. This step shows that this problem is related to sound parameters in the software that uses the microphone. If you have not already done so, set the device selected by default and adjust levels. Once the device is set by default and levels are defined, use and adjust the sound recording or voice carrying software.
* If the gray bars remain inactive and grey, the device does not have a signal. Leave the record open tab and go to the next step.

Step 2: Check the volume levels and mute
The volume of the speaker to the microphone and line - in may be activated or rejected. Use the following steps to check the volume of speaker for line and microphone levels.
1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
2. click on hardware and sound.
3. click on sound.
4. Select speakers, and then click Properties.
5. click on the levels tab.
6. click the button mute Microphone and on any other line that is cut.
7. use the slider to increase the micro level and each line at least 75.
8. click on OK.

Step 3: Update the audio drivers
You can see a front-end port microphone does not work, a recording device is missing in the recording tab, a microphone is not recognized when it is plugged in, or any other problem. There may be updates audio drivers that can solve this kind of problem. Use the following steps to ensure that the audio drivers are up to date.
1. connect to the Internet.
2. click on start and enter the Device Manager in the start search field.
3. click on the plus sign next to sound, video and game controllers.
4. right click on the name of the sound material and select software update of the driver...
5. click on search automatically for a driver updated and wait for Windows to update the driver software.
6 Windows checks a remote Web site to see if the update of the driver software is available.
* If an update is available, let Windows install the update.
* If an update is not available, proceed to the next step.
7. once the update is successfully installed, test the microphone or line like that was made in step 1. If the problem persists, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Configuration of Windows registry settings
By default, Windows Vista automatically activates microphones and line-in ports. Use the following steps to set the microphone/line-in port to be the default port and configure the logging levels.
1. If the recording in the Audio window tab is not selected, open the sound and click the recording tab and make sure the State is defined as below.
a - port micro - work and set as default
b - line In - work
c - Digital (S/PDIF port) In - work
d stereo Mix (mixer software) - disabled
2. If several microphones or line - in ports are available, select the port you want to use. Click on set as default to make this device default audio input device.
3. If the device you want to use contains a small circle with an arrow pointing down, the device is disabled. To activate the device, right-click the device name, and then select activate.
4. with the selected device, click Properties, and then click the levels tab.
5. adjust the slider up to 75% of its range.
6. If the mute is enabled, click the button mute to reactivate the device. The mute button should show as a blue speaker without any red circle.
7. If the Microphone Boost is available, adjust and + 20.0 dB.
8. click OK to make the changes.
9. test the microphone as was done in step 1 to determine if Windows is able to detect a signal from the microphone or line used. If you have completed all the steps and the microphone or the source device still does not work, the audio ports or the computer's sound hardware can be bad.

If the problem persists, contact us return with details below?
1 microphone working on the computer at any time earlier?
2. Since when are you facing the issue?
3. don't you make changes to the computer until this problem occurred?
4. the version of Ventrilo you use on your computer.

It will be useful.

Thank you and best regards,

    Hello Bllacke,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see from your post, some applications have a problem to access your Microphone. I know how it is important to ensure that your applications have access to the Microphone and can use this feature. I have a few things I want to try.

    First, tap Settings on your iPhone and then scroll to the last section that lists your apps. Select the applications that use the microphone and make sure that the Microphone is activated (green).

    Then, follow the steps in the article below to close these applications:

    Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Then, test the microphone in these applications again and see if it works.

    Best regards.

  • Windows XP and built-in microphone does not work

    I had reviewed similar topics, but I couldn't find a clear solution.

    My laptop is XP and has a built-in microphone.  I tried Skype and the microphone does not work.  It was not used in the past2 or 3 years, but it has been running at the same time.  Use Audacity for school work.  Can't do the part of speech recognition because I'm working with Office 2007 as it says XP and Office 2007 do not work.

    Any ideas to fix or am I destined for an external mic?  or would that even work?

    MB

    With respect to the built-in microphone, you may need to reinstall the audio drivers from the manufacturers Web site.

    As far as the webcam goes, as long as its compatible I guess it will work fine.

    Malware or virus infections can have harmful effects on a computer, even if they have been deleted. The only sure way to never remove infections from virus or malware is to reinstall Windows.

  • Integrated microphone does not and shows to connect Windows Vista

    My microphone does not work, even not show as connected in (microphone) Windows vista

    Hi my microphone has problems. It works sometimes, but usually it does not. I don't know why it is, but maybe someone here can help you. It is really connected and activated, but it does not usually record as being connected. Does it only occasionally. I don't know if something is different when the microphone is, can't remember. I downloaded the latest drivers and have updated their but that did not help. I still have the same problem. Also, it seems that all audio services are running. So if anyone knows the solution I would be grateful.

    If you microphone/Line In set is activated and levels turned up, this is how its window should look like. Note the bar showing the Green microphone resumes his.

  • iPhone 5 s microphone does not work during phone call

    Hello! My iphone 5s works really well, sensors, speaker, camera, all right. Similarly, the microphone works really well when I make a call using 'whassapp', 'line', etc and I can record video, talking to Siri, using voice memo and once more my microphone works really well. BUT! When I make call and receive phone call my microphone does not work, they do not hear my voice at all. What will happen with my microphone when you use the cell phone call? HELP ME PLEASE!

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

  • Internal microphone does not work in Satellite C850-B377

    The microphone does not work now. It worked very well but immediately stopped.
    Tried setting the sytem for a previous working restore point. But again same problem.
    Realtek is the audio driver installed.

    External Mike works very well.
    Anyone can help with this problem.

    Laptop bought the UNITED Arab Emirates and now in India and its less than 1 year.

    Can I get the service locally in India.

    Hello

    The internal MIC is part of the webcam module.
    What happens if you start the webcam, try saving and small clip? The sound recording is this too?

    Usually, you can change the recording devices in Control Panel-> sound-> recording tab
    Here, you can check what devices are available. Right click and check if hidden and disabled devices can be demonstrated.

    By the way: I had some problems with the playback of the sound after installing the Realtek audio driver. I uninstalled the Realtek audio driver and Device Manager remove the audio display Intel (in games, field audio video controller). In the peripheral zone system you could remove the controller high definition audio.
    Again, restart the laptop.

    Usually, removing devices should be recognized automatically. Then go again to the dashboard-> sound-> recording tab and check if other devices outside external microphone are available.
