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?

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.

  • Portege R & Windows 7's built-in microphone is not working

    Hey guys.

    I hope you could help me with this, but my valuable built-in microphone began omitting appr. A week ago. As I talk with someone, I'm able to hear her very clearly, but there unfortunately can't hear me at all!

    I went to sound properties I've read a lot of articles how to solve this problem, installed the new audio driver, enabled etc, in fact I have almost tried everything, but it still does not. The audio driver is visible and updated day on my knees, but it does not sound vibration allocate!

    Can you help me with this problem? Someone of you has suffered the same?

    Thank you in advance!

    See you soon,.

    Hi Goldie,

    Right click on the speaker in the taskbar, ranging from recording devices, make sure that you only have one option of microphone, it would be the first step, if you got more than 1, try right click on them and "default setting" for each of them to see if it works.

    Hope this helps,

  • Built in microphone does not work on my Tecra A9

    I have a Tecra A9 PTS52A-OEYO3F

    My operating system is XP Professional.

    I'm trying to set up a Skype account without having to buy a plug in microphone. I think that my Tecra A9 has a built in microphone. When I test the equipment via the control panel / sounds and Audio devices / voice / hardware test, an error message indicates that my voice could not be detected. Also, a similar Skype test revealed that my voice could not be detected.

    The user manual on page 4-23, under the heading level Microphone sets out the process to change the logging level. Step 1 requires a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar to reveal devices of recording on the submenu. When I perform the right click of the "speaker" of the menu has revealed icon includes "Open Volume Control" and "Adjust Audio properties". There is no option of "Recording devices" where only the instructions in the manual do not apply.

    I'm not convinced that I have a microphone, and if I do then why it is not working.

    Thank you

    If your Tecra has a build-in webcam so he must have mic too.
    Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba WXP or you have installed Windows XP Home edition on your own?

  • Satellite L350 - built in microphone does not work after upgrade Win8

    Hi people,

    I have this problem since I went from Vista to windows 8. my sound card seems to work ok. My webcam works also. I made sure I chose the right microphone on the Panel etc. so theoretically there is no reason why it shouldn't work... but it is not working.

    im guessing it has to do with my laptop being old enough, so no compatible drivers? I have a Satellite L350.

    What should I do?
    falone buy headphones?

    best!
    Al

    I understand that you want to use newer OS on this old piece of hardware, but it can be problematic to use it if certain model of laptop is not fully compatible.

    I think you're the first person who reported thereon. Unfortunately, I can't help you with this but if possible ask a friend if you can get outputs audio headphones and test mic ports.
    It will be interesting to know if you will be able to use the headset.

    Please post comments.

  • Re: Satellite A300-15F - XP's built-in microphone does not work

    I downgraded from VISTA to XP on my new A300-15E.
    Everything is normal except for the built-in microphone.

    There is only a driver for webcam on the Web site.
    Do I need a driver for the microphone?

    Hello

    In my opinion, you must also install the webcam software because there is a link between the internal mic and the webcam.
    But usually, the microphone is controlled by the audio driver and you should also check the microphone settings in

    Panel-> sounds & audio devices-> tab volume-> advanced-> control volume mic-> Advanced button

    Any help would be gr8

    Hello

    Satellite M300 is unclear to me that I guess that it s not a European series of Toshiba.

    You said that the microphone doesn t work, but are you sure that this laptop was equipped with the internal mic to 100%?

    In many cases claim that a device internal doesn t work but in most cases such device (internal microphone for example) is not available.

  • Built in microphone does not work on the Satellite P200 - 17 c

    Help, please.

    I have a Satellite P200 - 17 c. Windows Vista Edition home premium, 32-bit operating system.
    Sometimes, the built-in mic works then ceases to make Skype, useless msn. The webcam works fine but with no microphone. I've updated the driver, uninstalled and reinstalled several times that I care to remember.

    Sometimes it's the microphone works for a short period, then it goes silent. In the sound control panel bit is shows as working properly, but it's not.
    Please help me.

    Is preinstalled OS original OS that you got with your laptop.

    It is still problematic to discuss problems that sometimes occur. Have you checked the mic Skype or MSN options when this happens?

    Check in the sound options > recording devices is mic is enabled and set as default device. So try something and you should see the reaction on the green light. Is there a reaction?

  • Downloaded Windows 7 and now internet wireless does not work

    Can see Wi - Fi but no access to the network

    Kayleigh3283,
    You must contact the manufacturer of the adapter wireless for an updated driver.  If they no longer make this device or are not up to date drivers for it then you can look for 3rd party driver sites.

  • Satellite C650-010 - built in microphone does not

    built in microphone does not work after three weeks. I tried to install the new driver from Toshiba Web site software, but nothing helped. -Webcam with external microphone works well.

    Yesterday, Mike worked for ten minutes, but then cut again.

    Hey,.

    > I tried to install the new driver from Toshiba Web site software
    What driver software that you have installed?
    The microphone belongs to internal webcam, so you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam if internal microphone doesn t work properly.

    > but then cut again.
    Is that mean that the internal MIC is silent? Please check that the windows audio settings if the microphone is classified correctly recorders and set as default device.

  • Internal microphone does not work do not on HP Pavilion dv2608ca.

    I have a dv2608ca HP Pavillion age of 4 years. The microphone has worked for the last 3 years and about 6 months ago, it stopped working. Any time, I record something using the recorder on my laptop, I hear two sounds dull (as if someone was tapping on the microphone with a finger) and then silence. I took it to my local Best Buy for repair. They ended up wiping my own hard drive and then reinstalling Windows Vista. This fixed the problem for a day, and now the microphone does not work yet. I do not anything to the system between the time wherever I came back from Best Buy and 24 hours later when they have stopped working. I tried to check the microphone with Windows recorder and there is no indication that a sound is detected (green bar does not move). No sound is detected with Skype or msn messenger. I tried right clicking the speaker down icon to the right of the screen and check the level of the microphone and making sure that nothing is cut. I tried to go to Panel following the instructions for the Device Manager and cntrl (updating the driver for the result Conexant High Definition Audio.: "driver is already updated"). Please, I beg you! Help? Thank you!

    Thank you for your response. I read the links you provided and knew that I've tried all these steps already. Fortunately, in browing HP Web site, I found a feature that helps you identify the driver for your specific model updates. From this page:

    I clicked on the audio driver and instead of updating my driver, I thought to upgrade to the previous driver. And it worked! I clicked on "Previous Versions".
    Problem solved! It is important that when using this Web site, the correct model of the HP product is identified so that appropriate support can be provided. And I guess I learned that the upgrade is not always the option of sound with my operating system Vista and HP laptop computer!
