Why my microphone doesn't pick up my voice

When I use Skype, I can hear and see the person I call, they can see me but can not hear me?

Hello

·          You are able to use the Microphone other than with instant messaging?

·          You use an external microphone or in-house?

You can try recording using the Microphone and check if that helps.

If the record doesn't go very well then, you can run the troubleshooter and check if that helps.

  • Microphone is not picking up my voice correctly

    For some reason unknown, crazy, my microphone is not properly pick up my voice.

    My helmet is the Razer Carcharias http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-carcharias-for-xbox-pc
    (the link I provide is actually a newer version of what I have. Mine is not for the XBox, PC only. "The thing about node controller in the middle of the string is different, not that it makes much difference.)

    I feel that I've done all the possible troubleshooting it is possible, and I can not find the problem.

    My microphone is picked up and recognized, but when I speak, it only picks up no sound except if I set my mouth right up against the microphone.

    Here's everything that I've tried, and I'll also give you screenshots of what I can show you:

    I checked to make sure she was not silent on the thing of string rope (the little switch).

    I tested another micro on my computer, and it gave the same results.

    I tested my microphone on another computer, and it was absolutely perfect, so the problem is not my microphone.

    I tried to update the drivers (they were already up to date), still does not work properly.

    I tried to roll back to a previous driver, and it still does not work properly.

    I tried to use the Microphone amp, but it creates just a bunch of static, making it impossible to talk to people (even if it makes it better take my voice).

    I tried to use the conference Mode feature in the RealTek HD Audio Manager, but it creates a lot of static electricity, so (although he does not pick up my voice better).

    I tried to uninstall audio programs such as Skype/Ventrilo/TeamSpeak, still no change.

    I tried to reformat and restart windows, because I'm desperate to have just it does... still no change.

    -So I tried to contact ASUS (my motherboard company), asking them what could be the problem and I told them everything I tried, and the person I was talking to told to try an external audio card, or RMA the motherboard because I've already gone through all the troubleshooting he could think, therefore...

    I bought a new external audio card, and there is not always works, so I returned it.
    (I used the right driver for the external sound card).

    In my attempt desperate to get finally just made question, I went back to MicroCenter, returned to my motherboard and made a $53 upgrade to a motherboard brand new and improved, expecting all this to finally get and more with... No.

    I put in the motherboard, windows loads and drivers, did all updates, installed blah blah blah, tested my microphone, and... still the same accurate results than before. Not one thing is different.

    I am now furious and extremely desperate for a solution. I can't take this anymore. I don't know what to do, and I spent close to two weeks now, trying to solve this problem. He put a huge dent in my work, and I have the biggest headache. I'm tired of it. I just want my mic finally works correctly.

    I am also on a station just to take my computer in a place of tech support and just hand it to them and tell them to fix this problem, knowing that they will probably not be able to.

    I actually finally discovered the issue after spending over $ 100 on troubleshooting.

    It turns out that my computer was made by a friend of my father, the person has not properly implemented the motherboard.

    There was something hip that wasn't supposed to be hip. It was one of the things single PIN in one of the corners. I forgot the one which, exactly, it was, but that's what was causing problems with my microphone.

    Problem everything is fixed now! I hope that someone later on the line who has problems find it and be able to find the solution to their problems.

  • Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

    Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
    using Windows 7 sp1

    Original title: usb

    Hello Fred,.

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

    1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

    2 do a reset power coercive.

    1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
    2. Unplug all USB devices.
    3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
    4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
    5. Then install the battery.
    6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
    7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

    The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

    3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

    I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M40X-148: Microphone doesn't seem to work

    Have you checked the settings of the external microphone?

    Go to the Control Panel-> audio devices & audio and on the Volume tab, click the Advanced button.

    Then a new window should appear and you could see different volume controllers.

    Please check if mute was not activated in micro controller

  • Why my WordPad doesn't document hyperlink my URL?

    Why don't the Word Pad (.rtf) document on the laptop of my husband (which I am using now) hyperlink my URL?

    The Word Pad document on my own laptop IS hyperlink my URL. So, I know it's possible.

    In the 2 lines below, which is the 'link' and who is the URL string?

    In fact, both of these examples are links.   You can say, in various ways, by pointing your mouse on them.   For example I see

    1. My change of mouse pointer to the finger
    2. the link becomes stressed
    3. the URL is displayed at the bottom of the screen

    Even without all these immediate cues that I can verify that there was a link using click right button and looking at the menu items that offer, copy the shortcut for one.   Indeed, by making this test click when the pointer is just above or below the link, for example near her, but not a finger, would be instructive.   See the difference?

    Another way to check is using the development tools, search engine in Internet Explorer.   Press F12, then Ctrl-b to turn on that.   Then, assuming that the development tools open in a separate window, for example instead of being pinned at the bottom of this window, return to this window and watch what your mouse pointer will do next.   For example you can focus on some of the channels in your messages.   Then, when you click on a single switch, return to the developer tools window to see the source of what you clicked on.  You can use the right-click, copy OuterHTML to capture him.

    For example, I'm not sure what you in your previous post, but you actually have an example of a string that looks like a URL, but is not a link.  Surprisingly, he seems to be on its own line, which is usually sufficient for the URL pasted strings to be converted into links; otherwise, you must use the command insert hyperlink, for example the link chain in the toolbar icon change.

    Hmm...   I'll just use the copy instead of OuterHTML copy I recommend me...

    It's the smallest piece that the search engine can reach, but it's a whole paragraph!  Inside you can see the URL string-delimited
    Tags.   So, I don't think that this has not been done by this editor; otherwise, it would be
    (indicating you press SHIFT + ENTER.)   If you have pressed enter, you would end up a paragraph

    and start a new

    .   (I hope that this editor doesn't get confused by all the partial HTML I give.)  )

    FYI

  • 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.

  • Why my microphone is distorted when I start my tablet PC?

    Speech recognition does not work when you start upward because the microphone level is full 2/3rds and stuck there.  By 'level is 2/3rds complete', I mean the level indicator in the comments box or the speech Properties window shows 2/3rds full.  Usually I can open and close a window and the level will go down and start working properly.  It seems not to matter which window I choose to open.  Opening and closing a window opportunity will not do the trick, so I have to keep trying different windows until it works.

    To be clear, it is the volume slider, or is it the monitor to enter the recording devices which is 2/3rds?

    Try reinstalling the latest audio driver from the manufacturers website.
