Trouble with internal microphone and display

Hello together,
I just installed Arch on my Laptop yesterday. Everything works fine now, except for two things:
1) The internal microphone does not work at all. I already checked all settings in alsamixer/amixer and I also tried this, but it won't help.
2) After a reboot, the display brightness is always reduced. When I press the button to raise it again, nothning happens. When I press the button to lower it instead, it raises to the full brightness. This is a little strange and annoying, but not too important.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?
I would be grateful for any help.

EDIT:
I got the microphone working now, I was just a bit confused about the alsamixer/amixer settings.

Perhaps you're right - if so, I certainly didn't get as much background noise before. Any idea how to improve the situation?

  • Trouble with internal keyboard and touchpad

    Hi,
    Yesterday I just out of nowhere started having some trouble with my keyboard and touchpad on my MacBook Air.
    The problem displayed itself on various ways. One thing was that I couldn't press regulary with the touchpad. When I was pressing one time, it acted like a pressed with two fingers. When I tried to type in my password on the administrator page, some of the keys didn't work at all and some started to act weird. For example when I was pressing the letter B, the "bar" which displayes where you are in the text (don't know the word in English) went backwards, and when I pressed the letter F it went forward. This seemes so weird and also gives me a hope that it might be some setting failure though B stands for backwards and F stands for forward.
    I could log in to the guestpage where I tried to write in "notes". In notes, no letters at all was working, only numbers. When I tried to shut the computer down from the apple symbol I was asked to write administrator name and password. When I tried to mark the name to write it, there wasn't a "bar" but a cross, but on the other hand did it work to write in the password field. But of course not B and F..
    Usualy I'd just press the on/off botton until the computer lockdown, unfortunately the botton doesn't work. So the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and hope that it would start when I recharged it and pressed start, this didn't go as well as I hoped, so now I'm stuck with a dead macbook air.
    Any ideas of what could be the problem or/and any solutions what might do the trick?
    Extremly greatful for any answers

    Yes you need to use a wired keyboard.

  • Having trouble with condenser microphone and Logic Pro. please help

    I purchased a condenser microphone that runs only with phantom power. I have an XLR cable from the mic into the phantom power interface and have an XLR to USB plugged into my computer, when i go to logic audio preferences it doesnt show that the microphone is even connected (ive checked input and output). Ive even tried it on other programs and i still get nothing. Please Help.

    I have an XLR cable from the mic into the phantom power interface
    What phantom interface is this, make and model.
    XLR to USB plugged into my computer
    What is this? Just a cable?
    What microphone is it?
    Trying to get an idea of your signal chain as, in your original post, your signal chain makes little sense. Do you have an audio interface or is that the phantom power interface you are referring to? A microphone isn't an interface and a mic, in itself, won't show up in Logic prefs (unless it was a USB mic, which it is not).

  • HELP!!??? Trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing grainy and pixelated images after being imported using PS Bridge and Camera-Raw 8.5

    Help!??? I am having trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing/ saving grainy pictures when import NEF files!!!
    Hi all,
    When I import all NEF or RAW files into CS6 from Bridge and Camera Raw from the Nikon D200 and D5000, they become grainy/ pixelated.  However, RAW files from the D800 did not have problem. I set the Color Space in my Nikons to AdobeRGB, in PS Camera Raw 8.5 to AdobeRGB, in PS CS-6 ColorSpace to AdobeRGB, and Save As Jpeg with Max quality (12). When comparing between CS-6 produced file and the original, I can see a big drop in quality and the picture become grainy and pixelated. What can I do to make this right? Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.
    Thank you!
    HN

    Can you show us a screen-shot of the raw in Camera Raw that shows this noise, or if you only see it in the saved JPG, then show us a side-by-side of the raw in Camera Raw and the JPG?  Show the same area of the photo and zoom to 100%.
    It is normal for raw photos to have grain but you can mostly remove it with the Luminance Noise-Reduction sliders in the Detail tab of Camera Raw.
    The amount of grain depends on the ISO sensitivity setting on the camera.

  • ALV - need to sum values of internal table and display in ALV

    I have data in internal table as:
    Material     date     sum1     sum2
    Mat_A     19990101     4     4
    Mat_A     20080501     3     0
    Mat_A     20080601     2     0
    Mat_B     19990101     2     0
    Mat_B     20080601     5     5
    Required output is :
    Material     qty1     qty2     19990101     20080501     20080601
    Mat_A     432     4     4     3     2
    Mat_B     2+5     5     2           5
    Thinking of using ALV to pass the internal table and display as classical report (and also to save as excel spreadsheet).
    Counting your help on the following questions:
    1) How to accomplish the sum in ALV report? Can ALV FM do that or one has to use ABAP to compute the sum from the given internal table?
    2) Mat_A can have more date values. Here it got 3 distinct date values 19990101, 20080601, 20080501. If it has say 5 date values, how to create the ALV date columns (from 3 to 5 date columns) dynamically?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Closed Lid use with Internal Microphone

    Is it possible to configure the internal microphone so that I can use it when I'm running my MacBook Pro with the lid closed? I close the lid and attach the MacBook to a large external monitor and still want to use Skype.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The internal microphone (and speakers) are still active when in clamshell mode but in my experience it picks up a lot of 'noise' and vibration from the MBP itself and isn't very effective for speech. I use an external microphone (MicFlex) or the one in my external camera (Logitech) and they work well for video conferencing.

  • Trouble with mobile site. Displays for a second then screen goes black.

    Trouble with mobile site. Displays for a second then screen goes black. Using safari, 4s on Verizon. Example: m.mlb.com/lad/

    I hadn't checked the site since January or so, when it worked. It might be related to the Opening Weekend skin they have on the site, but for me, it shows the top part of the page for 3 seconds while it's loading (scrolling down is impossible) and then all of a sudden it turns black, showing nothing. It's that way for every MLB mobile site.

  • MacBook Pro won't automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio

    I have a MacBook Pro that connects to a LED Cinema display.  It used to automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio when plugged in to the display but won't anymore.  I have to manually change it in System Preferences --> Sound. Does anyone know how to make it do that again?
    thanks,
    Ben

    I just want to add, I have the same problem, and just want to help raise awareness of it.
    1st, the problem only started recently (have been using the Thunderbolt display since it was released), I did not have this problem, and noticed it beginning only in the last month. (since January)
    2nd, My particular setup, includes a hard drive attached to the firewire port on the back of the Thunderbolt Display (so, I am wondering if anyone else experienced this problem with a firewire drive being connected).
         My full setup:
              Macbook Air (2011)
             Thunderbolt display
              Western Digital drive (attached to firewire of display)
    3rd, If I go into settings, what I will see is the "Display Audio" is selected (but no sound coming out),
    If I then select "Internal Speakers," a buffered "history" of all the sounds I did not hear is then played (pretty funny actually) - for  example, if I sent mail, adjusted the volume, and started playing a song.... it immediately plays all those sounds when selecting "Internal Speakers"
    4th, If i then select "Display Audio" - it does nothing
    5th, what I have to do, to resolve this is:  eject all my hard drives,  disconnect the thunderbolt cable, then reconnect the thunderbolt cable, and everything works as normal.

  • Trouble With Opening InDesign and now Photoshop and Illustrator

    First off I apologize if this isn't in the correct section. I couldn't find a section specific to my problem since it involves multiple aspects of Adobe products. I was having trouble with InDesign, it kept crashing. So I followed all of the advice I could find on the forums about deleting the preferences and cache information in the Library folder, and that didn't seem to make a difference. So then I thought maybe it needed an update, so I logged into Adobe Application Manager and sure enough, it did. So I clicked on "download" and it stalled there too. Then the manager became unresponsive. I couldn't cancel the update or log out or anything. So then I saw in the forum someone suggested the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool if your manager becomes unresponsive. I ran that and then shut my computer off. When I turned it back on, InDesign started working BUT my Photoshop is completely gone from my system (I never messed with it in the first place since I wasn't having any trouble with it.) And the when I tried to click on Illustrator it said "Do you want to begin your trial?" Huh?
    I have had a subscription since 2012, why on earth would it suddenly think that I no longer should have access to these programs? If I log on to my Adobe account it shows my subscription and that it's up to date (last payment was April 5, 2015). The versions I was using were the CS versions that I had downloaded directly from Adobe and when I used to have any trouble or when I got a different computer I could just log into my account and then redownload them. They are no longer showing under my products, so I can't figure out what on earth is going on. The website has changed since the last time I downloaded them, so that partly could be me, but I thought they would at least be showing up under products. I contacted Adobe support and the first person I talked to on chat said "this is clearly a technical issue I am transferring you to someone better suited for this," but that's all he said. And I haven't heard from anyone since so I thought I'd make a topic and see if anyone else out there has had a similar problem.

    The versions I am using are the CS6 versions.*

    You should not need to have special IP address configurations to manage your devices and software. You can do this in the private network offered by any router, provided all devices being managed are behind that router. If for some reason you need a static IP on the network (such as for the server itself), then you can delegate one to the server in your router, but you dont need a special public IP address configuration from your ISP to set this up and make use of it.

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy
