Cannot get the microphone to work in MSN/Skype

Hi all,?I'm completely stuck on how to get the microphone working with my X-Fi card and MSN/Skype etc. If I uncheck (in playback) the microphone box, I can hear the mic output through the speakers. But no software appears to be able to detect anything from the mic. I'm sure it is just a simple check box I am missing but I cannot for the life of me find it. As the writing says under my nick - I'm a newb!?Please help ?[size="">Config:[size="">Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 CPU, 4Gb DDR2 RAM, Asus P5N32-SLI mainboard,?3 x 500Gb SATA II hard dri'ves, Sony AW-G70AB2 DVD-RW dri've, 2 x GeForce 7950GX2 VGA Cards, SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatalty FPS sound card, Windows XP x64 Edition

>Ok we know your mic playback it on ( in most cases you want to mute this cause it fri'ves you mad in msn hearing yourself ) but not importan at this time
Dri'ves me completely insane! But for testing purposes it is a necessary evil
>Question - is the Mic REC volume set to zero or mute. With my Elite i just go into Entertain mode and in the console under MIXER on the far right is microphone REC. If this is at the bottom move it up and your green MSN bar will move.
It was half way up. I moved it all the way to the top but it made no difference.
>If this is already up then we have to think again. I did notice that when I go through the audio test under MSN, it now mutes the microphone for some reason. Manually unchecking the mute box makes no difference though - I can hear myself but MSN can't.

  • Satellite C660-18C - Can't get the microphone to work

    So I couldnt get the microphone to work so I bought a new one. I also can not get this to work. I have tried everyway I can think of and it simply will not register any sound and yes the microphone is on and the volume is full.
    Can someone please help me fix this? Its driving me crazy!

    Hi belthazora,
    Just to make sure we talk about an external microphone that you have connected to microphone jack and not internal one? I ask this because the notebook doesnt have internal microphone.
    Anyway, if you use an external microphone make sure its listed in sound devices under recording tab. Can you see it there?
    I would also recommend a sound driver update if it doesnt work. You can download all updates on official Toshiba page:

    if the material don't state there is subtitles in your language it don't include it
    and if will only show subtitles if the language you choose in the atv settings so if you have it set to french
    and the material only have subtitles in English and not french they will not display

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do

    Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do. When a request is posted on my FB page and I click on it to send or receive a gift it just shows that its "connecting" and sits there for several minutes then only sometimes actually goes to the gift. How can I fix it. My other computer that is still on firefox 4 does not have this problem.

    Hello AKBOB, if exist a problem with update or permissions then the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

    I have a new (from Apple) unlocked iPhone3gs. I cannot get the video recorder to work. When I take video I am not offered any options at the start or the end of filming. The screen freezes when I hit the red stop button. But that's it. I have to hit the home button to get out of that. And none of the v-recordings can be found on my phone anywhere.
    Also I'm having trouble with Bluetooth. My Mac says it's paired with the phone, but the phone says not; even though It accepts the pairing code from the Mac. I'm getting very frustrated with these problems. I came on here to find the user manuel, but can only find the fingertip manuel and the product license manuel. Both of which I have in hard copy.
    And the most annoying thing is the sound on the calls. I can hardly hear the caller.
    Anyone got any helpful advice?
    Thanks, Elizabeth

    Robert or Elizabeth...
    Sync media using iTunes, not Bluetooth.
    When the screen freezes on the iPhone, try "resetting".
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    And this link is for the iPhone 3GS user guide >  http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS3.1_User_Guide.pdf
    Main iPhone Support >  Apple - Support - iPhone
    Serously doubt this is a "new" iPhone 3GS. More likely refurbished.

  • I use an xpi extension (moderating yahoo groups) for FF on my laptop. I have FF mobile on my Android phone but cannot get the extension to work on the phone. Any ideas? Need any more information from me? Many thanks

    I moderate several 'Freecycle' and similar community groups hosted by Yahoo Groups. A tool has been developed to make this easier (e.g. automating certain functions, standard messages etc) for FF users on PCs & Macs. I have FF mobile on my Android phone but cannot get the moderation tool to install.

    Extensions would need to be modified by the extension author to work with Firefox mobile.

  • HP Photosmart Printer-cannot get the apps to work with a USB hook up

    I purchased a HP Photosmart Printer C310 and hooked it up to a USB, not wireless. The apps on the printer will not work, says it has to be on wireless for those features to work. When I purchased it the guy said I could use those apps even if it was on a USB hook up? Any ideas of how to get the apps to work without the wireless?

    Make sure you have done this to reset the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    and that you have restarted your computer since this problem occurred.  You should also try disconnecting all USB devices from your computer including hubs (except standard keyboard and mouse if normally used), and connecting the iPod by itself to a direct USB port.
    There are no iPod viruses. But data corruption on the iPod's storage is possible. 
    If doing the above does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the iPod, from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If data corruption or a software glitch is causing the problem, a Restore should fix it.

  • HT1695 I cannot get the internet to work on my ipod

    I have been using my ipod to access the internet for years. i have been using a netgear router for a while. one day i came home and i could not access the internet. i have signal bars indicating internet. i can go to my router ip address with my ipod and change settings but i cannot get any internet apps to work. my ipod works fine at other places hinting that my router is to blame. all my other wireless devices work in my house so what is causing my ipod to not work. i have unplugged and reset my modem and my router. i have restarted, reset, restored with a backup and finally completely restored my ipod back to the original condition with no luck. there is something i am missing here. p[lease help me

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.

  • Cannot get the wifi to work...

    Hello,
    I recently got an ipod touch 32 go, but, whatever I do, I cannot use the internet on it...
    In the settings, I manage to connect it to various wifi spots (the small tick appears on the left of the name), but none of the applications work and it says it cannot find the network... I don't know what to do !!!
    And when I press the small arrow at the right of the network I'm supposedly connected to (where you can see the IP adress etc), no information appears...
    Can someone please help me out ?

    I have followed this thread carefully but still cant get my 32g iTouch to connect to my home network! It was working fine when I was abroad but now at home, it is a problem.
    I am using a BT Voyager 2500V modem that hardwires to two PC's, it also has wireless capability.
    I have set the wireless to the point that the network registers on my iTouch but the screen says that the server can not be found!
    The little blue arrow reveals the following info:
    IP Address: 169.254.xxx.xxx
    Subnet: 255.255.0.0
    and thats it, no Router info, no DNS info, no nothing. HTTP Proxy is set to off!
    Typing ipconfig and/or looking in the router pages fails to provide any obvious answers, so I would really appreciate some help!!
    Many thanks in advance!

  • We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

    Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

    Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
    a Shutdown computer
    b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
    c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
    d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
    e Wait one minute
    f Turn on computer
    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3
    Run Cleanup tool http://bit.ly/vnukXY
    Download updated driver from Lexmark website http://bit.ly/ToA1fo

  • I have a Touchsmart 9100 PC with a built in webcam, but i cannot get the webcam to work, help?

    A light comes on the built in webcam when I for instance, activate a Skype video call, but no picture comes through.  I thought this might be a problem with Skype, so i instead tried to just use the webcam like a photobooth however the camera still would not work.
    What do you think the problem is? How do I uninstall and reinstall the webcam, might that help? or is this not possible with a built in device?
    Thanks.

    When I baught the PC I coud use it, then I put skype on it, it works on skype, but i cannot get a picture on the screen.

  • Libretto U100 - cant get the microphone to work

    Hi
    I have a microphone problem on laptop and also when using my recently purchased Philips SHM3100 Multimedia headset. I have tried to use the Windows Sound Recorder software but my voice is not recognised at all.
    I have a Bluetooth Headset configure of which the sound and microphone works perfectly. Has anyone had the same problem, and found a solution?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Kind regards.

    I am using :
    Playback: SoundMax Digital Audio
    Recording: SoundMax Digital Audio
    I did a Sound Hardware Test and test result was:
    Microphone test: "Cannot complete the Sound Harware test as your voice was not detected"
    Under Voice Recording, "Advanced" is greyed out.
    You mentioned:
    "By the way; In the SoundMax control panel you should be sure that in the microphone setup the option called headset was selected and not standard mic!!!!"
    Can you please explain?

    Some details may be helpful; e.g., it used to work with the other device and now doesn't, was paired but will no longer connect; won't pair with any of 3 different devices; if attempting to pair to a single new device, what is that device, etc.
