  • Satellite Pro L550 - Microphone does not work with Skype

    Hello

    I recently installed Skype on my laptop and I went through all the tests to make sure that I can hear and can be heard. My two speakers and microphone are working fine. However when I go to use Skype to chat with people they can not hear me but I can hear them. Any thoughts on what I can do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,.

    When you open Skype and go to tools > Options > Audio settings can you see a green bar volume when you say something?
    You selected the automatically adjust microphone settings?

    Usually, if you check this option Skype will adjust the Microphone automatically that other people can you hear you properly.

  • microphone does not work on Skype "app."

    Hello

    I upgraded my laptop Pro Win8 of Win7. I use Skype in Desktop without a problem. However, when I try the app 'Metro', the other party can not hear me. The echo test also gives the same result. There is no option to set the audio mode "app" as being the "desktop" view As I said, the "desktop" version works perfectly. Is this a bug, I can't change any settings to see if the microphone is selected in the "app".

    Thank you

    Roger

    Place the cursor with the mouse to the lower right when the application is open. Move to the top, then click on settings to modify the application settings.

  • My microphone does not work with Skype.

    Whenever I have someone call on Skype, he put mute my microphone. Therefore, Skype gives me an error "can access sound card."  I tried everything to fix this, check if the caps were in the right holes, to reformat my computer and everything in between.  All my drivers are up to date, I can record my voice on a tape recorder and hear him read.  I thought that maybe there was something in the control panel I have not tried, all of the peripheral input-output boxes are on the right thing, I have C-Media CM6501 Like Sound Device.

    It must be cut to stop your own voice echoing Skype makes this car.

    go to tools-options-audio Skype settings - and check the settings also do Skype test call.

  • Why text search does not work for me in Firefox 30?

    Tried ctrl + F, command buttons, and even when I type a single character, it always come in red.

    Another issue that is minor, but still very heavy on power users, I would say, is that when you ctrl + F, is not to highlight the search immediately/automatically bar. You must click on the search bar, and then enter the text you want to search for.

    It turns out as the Restorer Classic theme needed an update.
    Restart of Firefox which solved.

  • LX3000 microphone does not work for speech recognition can't be used

    my microphone is LX3000but I can not all the sounds of it, I try set up and he said that I was on, but no sound come by please can someone help me

    Moved from the community involvement Center

    Original title: speech recognition

    my microphone is LX3000but I can not all the sounds of it, I try set up and he said that I was on, but no sound come by please can someone help me

    The LX3000 is a USB microphone. If you are using a desktop computer, connect to a rear USB port.

    Go to sound in the control panel. Click the recording tab. You should see a USB microphone in the list. See screenshot below. Highlight the USB microphone and set it as the default. Then click on properties and then the levels tab adjust the microphone level to 75%. Click on apply and then OK. Speak into the microphone, and you should see the green bars in the volume meter going up and down. This will mean that you're all set.

  • Satellite L50-B916 - recording external Microphone does not work

    Hello

    Connect an external microphone to * Headphone\Microphone combo socket *, still records through portable microphone instead of externally. Registration of external Microphone does not work.

    What Miss me? Please notify.

    Model: L50-B916
    Screenshot: http://s12.postimg.org/j8h3v5k4d/laptop.jpg

    I can't say with certainty what may be wrong here, but two things confuse me:
    -somehow your external MIC is obviously not detected because in the case when the external microphone is connected laptop switches automatically to it
    -I don't understand why there are two identical entries under recording devices.

    When I connect my headphone it is always a single entry (Conexant SmartAudio HD default unit), but my machine automatically goes to the external microphone only.

    Have you tested the feature with some applications like Skype?

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - Microphone does not work with Windows 7

    Hello, I have a problem with the microphone on my laptop.

    MIC comes with chicony web cam and Windows 7 camera works fine but the microphone does not work.
    Does anyone have the solution to this problem?

    Micro Vista works fine but I wanted to try Windows 7 on the laptop and everything works great except microphone.

    Best wishes in advance.

    Hello

    I think that the reason why Windows 7 is only RC and not a final version that is on the market. I think you should wait until Windows 7's official published.

    However, you have installed the driver for the webcam and soundcard? You can try using the Vista drivers. It should also work on Windows 7.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 16 H - Webcam + microphone does not work

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite L50 - A - 16: updating win8.1 64 bit.
    When I got this new laptop everything worked fine, but later it stopped working.
    I sent it to Toshiba for repair and ofcouse they made and works (the MB has been replaced?), but now, I noticed that my webcam and my microphone does not work. If I try to open the camera it says 'connect a camera' or on Skype, he asks the same thing.

    I read in the forums to look at the BIOS to enable, but there is no activation/deactivation button.
    I tried to search for a driver for the Webcam in the Toshiba site but I couldn't find: c
    and the microphone "working normally" but I when I try to call my friends can't hear me.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem, thank you very much :)

    You know what: best thing you can do as the ultimate test is to backup all your data and reinstall the original recovery image. By default the BIOS settings and install recovery image.
    After ding that you will have to re-buy factory and absolutely identical situation after laptop settings.
    Please test and send feedback.

    In my opinion, if the problem persists it could be hardware related issue. Maybe is cam not connected correctly.

  • On the Satellite P500 microphone does not work well

    I spent $2,000 to buy this Satellite P500 a month ago and soon found that the microphone does not work well. I used the web camera application to record a video to test, the volume level is very low that you barely hear it and it cracks.

    I called the support center, waited for half an hour and finally had someone to talk to me, I followed his instructions adjusted the level of the microphone to 100 and the boost to 0.
    The cracking sound disappeared, but the level of volume is still too low to hear. What can I do?
    Call again and wait half an hour? His Friday 17:00, they will be upset and I'm already mad!

    Hello

    Have you tried to test mic with Skype or a similar application. Friend of mine has Satellite P500-127 and he use it for Skype communication.
    I can hear it fine and everything works fine.

    Do you still have the factory settings (original operating system preinstalled)?

  • ThinkPad W530 problem - Microphone does not work do not

    Hello

    My W530 microphone does not work. Whenever any problem try to use (Skype, Audacity), it still shows a quick activity (about 0.5 ms), always with the same- and nothing more, ever.

    I installed the drivers from Realtek and lenovo drivers, nothing works.

    I did said wha in all other forumes (sound-> manage audio devices), - disable listening, disable all the featues or activate, as well as Ministry of the highest available parameters. Nothing helps.

    This has been done since I bought this computer a month ago.

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    Help, please

    Hi again, matanm

    At this point, I would contact service customer in Israel, that I can't think of any other software issue which could be responsible for this. It is also reinforced by the fact that the microphone did not work since you bought the machine. The number of support for Israel is + 972-3-531-3900.

    Best,
