Integrated microphone stopped working suddenly on my HP i-7 DV6! I tried everything!

Hi guys! Thanks to anyone seeing this. My laptop's integrated microphone stopped working suddenly. I have daily skype meetings and it worked perfectly fine but today it suddenly didn't work. I didn't make any significant changes before that.
I tried uninstalling and installing the drivers from the website but when I uninstalled, the new drivers said that a device is missing. I cannot paste the error message exactly how is written for you because it is in greek. but the translation is that a device part is missing or something.
after that I've done a system restore went back 4 days and I have now my drivers back but the microphone still isn't working.
I figured out that if i plug my apple headphones i can hear audio but it doesnt detect my recording. (i dont know if it's supposed to anyway!
Thanks in advance to anyone that might have a solution!
Windows 8
HP Pavilion DV6-2150EV
Product Number: VY101EA#B1A
Serial No.

Thank you for this. You are amazing for trying to help me. I kept on not being able to find the solution for 2 days and no voice application worked until yesterday evening. I logged into an online shop and bought a headset costing £10. As long as I entered my details and pressed PAY, my girlfriend called me on skype and voila, she could hear me. I think there might be something wrong with the insides of my laptop! Might be a significant amount of dust and dirt.
Thank you very much again. If this happens again I will read this post again carefully and get back to you.

Built in microphone stopped working

Hi,
I have a NW8440 notebook running XP Professional Service Pack 2 with SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio.
I have used both the built-in microphone as well as a headset with microphone plugged into the headset and microphone jacks for several months, both with Skype and with recording software. Within the last week, both microphones stopped working with no error messages. Speaking into the microphone in Sound Recorder shows no change in the recording level, and playing back the recording only plays random noise. Playback of saved files or internet downloads still works fine.
I tried updating the SoundMax driver to the 10/1/2007 5.10.1.5210 version on the HP website with no effect.
One thing I'm wondering about is that several websites I've seen indicate that both the playback and recording dialogs of the Volume Control should show a column for microphone. In my case, however, microphone only appears as an option on the recording dialog, and when I click Options | Properties to click the checkbox to add it to the playback dialog, I find that microphone is not one of the listed choices there either.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Ricky,
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

TS2634 My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone is set/settings/sound. It used to ring. I think it has to do with updating to IOS 7.0.4? After updating IOS 7.0.3 my microphone stopped working. Had to clear/reload.

My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone set and used to ring. I think it has something to do with updating the IOS 7.0.4. When I updated to 7.0.3 the microphone stopped working. Had to call Apple Support and cleared phone and reloaded. ($57 charge). Any suggestions?

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

Tab S8-50L microphone stopped working

Hello,
I recently bought this tablet and the mic was working (recorded a test video with sound). Now the sound is not recorded, neither when using sound recorder nor video recorder nor even Serviceit (Lenovo diagnostics app).
Already tried the following solution:
Settings -> Language & Input -> Voice Search -> Bluetooth headset [TICK]
Unfortunately it didn't work, still nothing gets recorded.
I would like to believe this is a softfare problem, because my tablet didn't fall or get wet...

I think that I figured out my problem, hopefully this will help others if you are encountering a problem with your internal microphone stopping working.
I changed:
FROM: Stereo Mix, Realtek High Definition Audio working (checked/default) -- unchecked now...
TO: Microphone, Realtex High Definition Audio working (checked/default) and it works fine now.

TS3274 Microphone stopped working

Microphone stopped working apparently after installing iOS 7. Any suggestions for a remedy?

It is NOT a coincidence. I had the same problem this morning, immediately after updating to IOS 7. (I had skipped updating previously, was still using IOS 5.)
Tried several things that didn't work, like turning the iPhone off and back on, resetting the Network, turning Airplane Mode on and off, turning Siri on and off, etc.
I found a fix that worked for me, on iGeeksBlog.com, http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-fix-dictation-not-working-on-iphone/
I tried the last suggestion, and it finally worked:
"reset through Settings → General → Reset → Reset All Settings."
And yes, it was a nuisance to have to redo all of the settings I'd added/changed from the 'default' but worth it to have dictation working.
I wanted to post this info in case others have had the same issue, even though this thread seems to be from a while back.

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

Microphone stop working during calls.

Hi to everyone,
i have a problem with my iPhone 4 iOS 4.1 received on 28th September from the Apple Online Store.
When i call or when i am called, in the middle of the call (after about 2-3 minutes), my microphone stop working: so i can hear others but they can't hear me.
This happens usually when my phone switch from 3G to EDGE (3G -> °). In other apps the microphone works well.
Is this a software bug? Or is my iPhone faulty?
I looked in the forum but unlucky i didn't find a real help, because none seems to know what is the nature of this issue (i know other guys have a problem like mine).
Thanks a lot,
Mattia.

The same thing is happening to me and most of the time I don't even get 2-3 minutes into the call before it happens.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it only started happening once I updated to the new OS 4.2

After upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!!

after upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!! Surely this must be software since I presume there are not two microphones, one for Siri and one for everything else. Tried resetting, rebooting, switching off noise cancelling. What else is there?

Microphone stopped working after Update

After upgrading my iPhone 5 to ios7.0.3, the microphone stopped working with calls on speakerphone or when asking Siri a question. I took it to the Genius bar where they verified that it was a hardware issue, and charged me $199+tax to get a replacement phone. That was after I talked them down from $269+tax.
This is an awesome scam - ruin your customers' hardware, and charge them to resolve it. The last Apple product I will ever by is this replacement phone. Look for my iPad, iPad mini, Apple TV, iPod Nano, my week old $1,900 MacBook Air, and this replacement iPhone 5 64Gb on eBay this weekend. It will take a little longer to liquidate my companies' Macs. Lesson learned: never trust your business to a company that makes the software and the hardware.
Note this is the 2nd replacement phone. The original iPhone 5 I bought died after about 6 months, and this one made it about another 6. I didn't realize I was buying a $700 disposable phone.

try restoring it has new and then taking it in to apple

USB Microphone stopped working in 10.6.2

I have a CyberAcoustic headset that worked perfectly in 10.5 but since I upgraded to 10.6.2, the microphone stopped working (sound output to headphones still works perfectly). I checked the System Preferences Audio panel, the "USB Device" (which is my headset) is selected for input and the level is set to max. I tried it on three different machines, two of which were running 10.6.2 and one 10.5.7 and got the same result - 10.5.7 works perfectly while 10.6.2 doesn't. Are there any recommendations as to how to troubleshoot it and figure out what could be wrong? My uneducated guess would be that there's some device ID is missing in plist but I'm not sure about which one.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

Hi JavaDuke & welcome to the forums...
Sorry if I missed it - did you run 'Audio MIDI Setup' (/Applications/Utilities) and see if settings there mesh with your current configuration expectations, etc....

My internal microphone stopped working on my imac?

My internal microphone stopped working on my imac? I only noticed when I tried to use Skype. It was fine till a recent change to hard drive after a mechanical failure and a clean reinstall. I have USB headset and it works fine, in and out. Any answers/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Check your settings in System Preferences>Audio and make sure that internal microphone is selected on the input tab.

@Keith:
Why are you always proposing your 'further questions' as answers? That's not adequate in any way!
Especially as a 'Moderator' you should know better, I really dislike this and I am quite sure that I am not on my own with this opinion.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4865.whether-or-not-you-should-self-propose-an-answer-in-an-msdn-or-technet-forum.aspx
It is pretty obvious from the post that this happens while loading WinPE, what is there to misinterpret?
Are you using different WDS servers for your sites?
If yes, try to remove the boot image from the 'Broken' one and re-import it.
Comparing checksums is never a bad idea in such a scenario.
