Logitech USB microphone does not work with OS 10.4.11

My logitech USB microphone was working fine, at one time. Now it does not function. In the sound prefs setup, it shows a level reading, as if it is hearing the input, but there is no output. I have tried every setting I could find in Audio Midi Setup as well, and nothing seems to work, and the "thru" option is not available. Can somebody help me here?

Hi stuntmedia, and a warm welcome to the forums!
See if it's the Mute button first...

External USB HD does not work with HAL:

External USB HD does not work with HAL:
From the last 10 days the HAL auto-mount with ntfs-3g file system of my external hard drive does not woks.
But the manual mount procedure with the command mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb* /mnt/XYZ works.
I've followed the instructions in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL and the system has worked up to the last kernel or HAL update.
My fat32 usb-stick works without any problem.
If I try to open the device with KDE it appears an error popup wit this message:

Do you have some idea ....
Bye.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

External USB keyboard does not work with T60 after BIOS upgrade

External USB keyboard does not work properly with T60 after 2.26-1.07 BIOS upgrade.
It does the same with or without the docking station.
Anyone else bumped into this problem yet?
Has someone found any fixes for this?
t

Hi and welcome the forum!
Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.
v2.26 is supposed to fix the issue according to lenovo:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63024

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
Regards

Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result...

USB Camera does not work with iChat

Hello,
I'm having a terrible time getting my ToUcam Pro II to work with iChat. I downloaded the iUSBcam program. That didn't work. I downloaded the program Macam, and copied the proper file into the Quicktime Library (as suggested) and that didn't work. I downloaded IOXwebcam, and got an error stating that it wouldn't run due to the fact that it didn't have the proper security settings. Sigh.
So... what am I to do?
I'd like to buy a webcam that does, actually, work with my 8 month old Mac Pro 4 core mac desktop, but the iSight camera is ridiculously expensive. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Brad

An X-box 360 cam will do it although not in that list.
Anything that is USB 2.0 and marked UVC compliant or Vista Certified.
Be Aware some Mac Keyboards do not have USB 2.0 ports.

My microphone does not work with Skype...

...but it works with everything else! I have tried every test, every setting, downloaded new drivers, restarted the computer, followed every Skype how-to to check every device setting and nothing works.
I am using a Digital Innovations ChatCam model # 4310300. As I mentioned I have used it with Microsoft Movie Maker and the sound is fine, but with Skype it does not work, I just tried using the echo test call and nothing.
Any help is appreciated!
Kurt

There is always the possibility that there is an oddity in how the camera registers as an audio device or something is missing from the drivers being used that generates a compatibility issue with Skype. Have you tried using a virtual driver to try to resolve the issue? Try using Manycam ( http://manycam.com ). If the camera part works, you don't have to use the virtual cam part, but you might want to try the virtual microphone is has and associated that with your webcam mic. This way you can see if the manycam virtual mic will allow the audio to be registered in Skype.

USB hub does not work with iTunes

I have been trying to add USB ports to may Mac's and am not able to synch through the hub. They are hi speed 2.0 USB hubs by Rocketfish and Belkin. iTunes locks up until I remove them from the USB cable (spinning color wheel) and then iTunes goes back to normal. I have tried with both my 24" Intel iMac (Metal one) and a new 15" Macbook Pro. When I use the USB port on the Mac iTunes works great. There seem to be a ton of USB problems posted and zero answers on how to correct. I have tried with an Color iPOD, iPhone and an iTouch to no avail. Having a couple of USB ports won't work in my situation. Anyone know if Apple has posted a workaround or a real fix anywhere.

Thanks, I missed where I posted But I tried with my HP - Same issue. I think others have had this. I believe that iTunes is hit or miss on Hubs. I wish I could figure out what makes them a hit - instead of a miss.

Thanks Marco

Hey Marco,
This is a end-user-to-end-user support forum for the most part, I suggest you contact Apple via http://getsupport.apple.com or even http://www.apple.com/feedback to alert about your issue.
Good luck.

HP Laserjet USB Connection Does Not Work with Gigabit Airport Extreme

I have set up my Airport Extreme Gigabit edition. It works well for wireless internet. BUT, I connected my HP Laserjet 1300 via a working USB cable, and it doesn't print properly at all. This Laserjet uses the HP Universal Drivers in Vista, which should work with the Extreme if anything should. I have set up and located the printer in Bonjour as instructed.
With the PCL6 driver, I get one page that prints out portions of the test page text, but with most of it missing, and then a second page saying:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: UnsupportedProtocol
Operator: 0x0
Position: 0
The PCL5 driver prints out "a" page, but the text comes out as solid black lines instead.
I have tried turning the printer on and off, the router on and off, and deleting the printer and re-creating it in Bonjour, as suggested by Apple's technical support document. Nothing works. I have downloaded the latest Windows software and router firmware for this product, both of which were released recently. Same result. I also tried connecting my laptop via a Gigabit port instead of wirelessly to see if that would help. Nope.
I have seen a few postings in other forums (not here) saying that the Airport Express (Gigabit) firmware has problems with HP printers connected via USB, which seems hard to believe given their ubiquity. If that is the case, I'd appreciate a straight answer from somebody on when it will be fixed. Some have suggested just using Ethernet, but I purchased this product (and therefore paid extra) for the USB print server, and expect to get that working.
Thanks very much.

I have an HP laserjet 4L with a usb adapter connected to the airport via a usb hub, and have had little trouble, except for last night it kept printing 1 partial page over and over. I printed multiple pages at once, I figured the printer just OD'd, after all its an old printer. I have one laptop that uses Vista, and its always giving me grief. Vista

PCI USB Card Does NOT Work With Mass Storage Devices

I have a StarTech PCI card with 6 USB 2.0 ports that I inserted in my 500 MHz (overclocked) B&W Power Mac G3. It works great for any USB device EXCEPT for any hard drive or DVD/CD-RW drive. I checked the system.log file for errors. Nothing shows up in System Profiler or Disk Utility, obviously. Here's what it consistently says:
Dec 16 23:33:28 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 674.997 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 6 of hub @ location: 0x62000000)
Dec 16 23:33:33 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 679.977 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
I'm running the latest version of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3. What is wrong? StarTech doesn't have a driver, but nothing should be necessary. Is there a 3rd party USB Mass Storage Device driver that might work better than the Apple generic driver? PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot live with USB 1.1.

Some users have reported problems with certain brand cards and their controller chipsets, so trying a different card may resolve the problem. Keyspan and Macally are often mentioned as being more "Mac-friendly" than some other lessser-known brands or generic cards. Does the card have a mini-power port to supplement the power requirements? With USB 2.0, each port is on a separate bus, so a card with six ports should have one. To minimize the overall draw on the available power, I prefer to install USB cards with as few ports as are needed.

Yoga tablet 2 pro microphone does not work with Skype or Google+ hangout

I have a new yoga tablet 2 pro, with most recent build and most recent version of skype for android.
When using skype or hangout, the other party cannot hear me (unless I speak directly into built-in microphone hole from a few inches away). The mike works fine with OK google, etc. Skype and hangout also work well with earphone and external mike combo.
I think there is a problem with apps accessing microphone gain....... is there a fix?
thanks!

In order to assist my investigation into these reports, if you are still experiencing this issue could you please provide:
the model number
If the model is wifi/3G/LTE
the OTA your device is running

My Logitech Webcam 500 does not work with Flash 10.4

I am running 32-bit Windows Vista (unfortunately!) and recently upgraded as recommended to Flash Player 10.4.1.53. Now when i go to some websites and want to use my webcam, it just brings up the settings window with a check box for Enable Hardware Acceleration. But it just stays even when i close the window, just pops right back up and the camera never opens.
The webcam works fine on other sites - ie: Yahoo Messenger. What gives??

Please check your Flash Player version again: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
As for the Flash Player Settings window, can't you switch to the Camera panel (the left-most tab, beside the Close button)?
