Mic not recording at all or loud on Audition Cs6

My mic is not picking up any sounds at all on my Adobe audition Cs6, or sometimes it does record but it's not loud at all unless someone screams into it, does anyone please know how i can fix this? I have an M-audio Fast track and my mic is called a bluebird idk if that helps. So can i make everything go back to normal, where i can record and see that my audition cs6 is actually recording my voice. Thanks

Well, if it was working previously, then I'd suspect from the symptoms that you should have a careful look at the mic lead for a start - this sounds rather more like a hardware problem than a software one. Initially, the easiest thing to do is to try it with another lead.

ALSA Mic Not Recording [Solved]

I have a new install with ALSA and speakers work fine and I can hear myself talking into the microphone (my voice comes outof the speakers) but neither Skype nor the test
arecord -d 5 test-mic.wav
aplay test-mic.wav
get any sound.
This is a new 64 bit install and this same machine has a working 32 bit install--meaning the mic works fine for Skype, but that uses OSS.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong? Here is alsamixer screenshot: http://static.inky.ws/image/1344/image.jpg
Thank you.

For the record, there's a "The microphone does not work" section in the Skype wiki.
Don't forget to mark it as solved.

Hi D.A.,
Sorry you couldn't find the doc easily, but happy you are set up now.
I did place it in our FAQ here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1417831?tstart=0
I will let the tech writer know about the need for having this info in the documentation. Good idea, thanks.
In the mean time, you can file a feature request to make USB mic setup a lot easier here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

Microphone not recording

has anyone any ideas please. Mic not recording sound or working using Skype.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Microphones not working at all.

hi, im having some issues regarding the built in microphone as well as external mics not working at all.
The computer seems to register the mics there, but they just dont seem to work .
ive tried troubleshooting and following all the guidelines on this site on how to fix it and nothing seems to work.
the internal mic will work one day and then the next day ill try to use it and itll be back to not working. with me not changing any of the settings. any help would be greatly appreciated. I heard back from somebody in a post about this about a month ago, gave my specs as requested and didnt hear anything else after that. Hoping this one gets a little more attention.
the computer is operating on windows 8.1
the product number is B5Y66AV
Thank you!

Hi @brun67,
Thank you for your reply.
I regert that the micsrophone works sometimes but not always.
I did not mean to imply that your notebook was incompatible with Windows 8 only that it was a possiblity to check and that HP does not support Windows 8 on your notebbook.
You could try rolling back the driver to see it there is any improvement or try updating the driver.
As HP does not support this OS the HP Support Assistant will not help. You will need to manually check for any updated drivers from the manufacturer of the card.
Downloading Software and Drivers
To rule out hardware as being a possibility here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8). Under the component test audio is an option.
Good Luck!

Iphone4 - MIC not working only on phone call, But in recording MIC works good

My iPhone4 was working last 10 months till last week. it is bought from outside UAE and am Living in UAE
When I make a call , I can hear them clearly , but other side cant hear me.
I think iphone MIC is broken, but fortunately I tried recording for 10 minutes, it is working perfectly. I felt hardware working properly
Then I think it is software Issuebut,
When I detected the issue software version was 4.3.3, And Then I updated software to 4.3.4. Still the issue remains.
I tried several time restarting. No advantage
After all I deleted all my content by resetting from phone and iTunes, bothways.
Now my phone content looks like new iPhone and software is 4.3.4 and
Still the MIC not working only on a phone call
Unbelievable.
I went to more than 3 apple dealers in Dubai, like istore,protech.. All they refused service for iPhone.
They dont have service for iPhone, but they selling and are autherized reseller,
My phone still under warranty.
Do I get warrenty covering, or atleast it is serviced?
Or could you have any trick to get it worked
Trust you can help me.
Thanks in Advance

I've been having the exact same problem! I tried restoring, updating, suing earphones but NOTHING.

Audition CC Recognizing Mic, but Not Recording

I have a Rode NT1-A mic that I have been using on Adobe CC Mac for sometime now, and up until a couple of days ago I had no issue. When I set up the hardware, it finds the mic. When I navigate back to the Multitrack screen, I am able to select the mic for the track input. However once I hit R and I to record and monitor, I get absolutely nothing. No metering at all. I go as far as to record something and still, I get utter silence, it's not recording anything. I am not sure how to fix this, as literally a couple of days ago, I was using this same mic, interface, and XLR to record. I appreciate any/all help.

You haven't said what the interface is, but has the phantom power got switched off? That would stop it working whilst it still appeared as a legitimate source...

Calling all sound wizards: webcam not recording audio

Hey guys so I just bought a Creative Live! HD 1080 webcam to record video on my computer, and for some odd reason, the audio does not record with the video when I use the webcam's software. I experienced the same issue using ManyCam, but I did find that SmartPixel webcam software recorded audio when I used my headset, however it did not record audio with just the webcam mic.
I've tried just about everything in the control panel that would be related to sound, and that doesn't seem to be solving the issue. I also went to accessories: sound recorder to see if the audio would record from there, and it did.
I want to also note that the same issue occurred while using the Logitech c920. I returned that one because I could not get the audio OR video to record.
I am currently using Realtek High Definition Audio and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've updated all drivers.
There must be a solution to this - anyone have some bright ideas?

Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

Best all-purpose condensor mic for recording with Logic

Hey everyone,
I'm just about ready to purchase Logic Pro and a MOTU Traveler and I am on the prowel for the best all-purpose condensor mic to record with ($500-650 is my budget).
I would like to be able to record vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, primarily. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you.

it's going to be hard to find a good mic that is well suited to all 3 of those applications. Sure you can find stuff that will "work" on anything, and for that I would definately look at the Rode mics. But if you are willing to save up a bit more I would highly recommend the following:
Rode NTK for vocals
Peluso CMEC-6 small diaphragm condensers (about $580 for a matched pair) - these are amazing acoustic gtr, drum overheads, etc. mics. Also, I've used them for electric guitar cabinets and they sound great there too.
SM57 for electric guitar
These 4 mics will give you a lot of options. For instance:
vocal/acoustic gutiar together (NTK and Pelusos)
Electric guitar (SM 57 on speaker cone with either a Peluso a few inches away from the speaker or NTK a couple of feet away for body)
Drums (NTK a couple of feet off of kit, Pelusos as overheads, 57 on snare, which would actually give you a really great drum sound in a good room with a good kit)
Obviously this is almost twice your budget. You could start out with the NTK if the vocals are most important to you, or the pelusos if acoustic gtr is most important, and add on the other mics later. The 57 is super cheap and really needs to be in anyone's mic locker. I also recommend an old Shure 545 which is the predecessor to the 57. You can find them on ebay for under $50 (make sure that you get the low-z version with XLR connector, not the high-z with 1/4" connector) and they sound like a 57 but a bit warmer and smoother. They are really great electric guitar mics.

Internal Mic not showing up at all

cannot find the internal mic on my A215-s5837 any where in the sounds option or in the device manager. I installed an webcam and mic. The webcam works great but the mic is not working at all nor can the computer see it. I am running Windows 7.

I hope you backed up before this happened.
Okay solution to get info back.
Go to ebay and get one of the laptop hd to desktop hd connectors about $6-12 or a USB/FIREWIRE ($25 max) external enclosure for 2.5" drives as then you can install a new drive and still try to access it via USB/FIREWIRE
This will work if you have a desktop Win or Apple and then you can use a descent software to access it.
If not then send it to the manufacturer and then can make a backup for you or take the disc platter looking like a dvd / cd and place it in a new working device so you can get access as likely the motor died on the hd or the circuit board/firmware is bust but the disc platter might be in tackt.
Good Q? does the drive spin up ?
I have seen that a good format "erase can get life out of it " but it does not help for info/files.
PS: if you have tiger do not use panther disk utility as there is different thingy's they use and this does screw up a drive but nothing a erase/format can not fix.

Record a greeting: Not working at all

Hey there,
Within Phone > Voicemail > Greeting, I am selecting "Custom." Two buttons appear at the bottom: "Play" and "Record."
"Record" used to work... and I used it about 5 times (trying to get it just right). All of a sudden, several attempts later... "Record" does nothing. Nothing it all.
The "Record" button dims when I press it... but does not record anything. So, now I'm stuck in "Default."
Anyone else have this problem? Thanks,
Art

Well,
To get around this annoyance, I simply called my iPhone from a landline, didn't answer the call and waited until I got into my voicemail's Admin functions.
Then, that is how I recorded my Custom voicemail. (Just like the OLD days!)
Then, when called afterwards, my iPhone did have the new Custom voicemail. However, the iPhone still shows as "Default" for the greeting.
Don't know if they will ever "sync" so that the iPhone knows that I have a Custom in place.
Not very smooth,
Art

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

Speakerphone problem - lost voice from speakerphone while playing music or gaming youtube, while call or voice recording playing - all works fine, so speakerphone is working but not on all apps. hard reset done - no changes

iphone 4
SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using
hope will never return. Thanks

We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?
