Why do my Apple Earpod Microphones not work with Windows 7?

My laptop has 3 ports (Microphone, and 2 headphone ports), and I've got a VERY bad external mic, that I might be giving to someone else, because I have Earpods. The only thing is, the Earpods don't have a microphone cable as well as a headphone cable, and the Earpod microphone doesn't work with Windows 7! Can anyone give me the drivers for it or something? I really love the quality of these headphones and it also means I don't have to lean towards my microphone (my desk won't allow me to move the mic any closer to me). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a hard reset of your iPad by holding down the Home button and sleep button together until your iPad goes black and the Apple logo reappears, then let the buttons go?

  • Apple earpods microphone not working

    I have the apple earpods and the microphone does not work with my iphone 4 running ios 6. Everything works except the mic, when I plug them in the mic on the physical phone is never disabled and I have to use the phone mic if I want to speak. I want to use the mic on the headphones control, how do I fix this? (I do not want to upgrade my ios)

    think it more likely that it's an issue with the connector in the iphone
    a connector connect a piece of metal inside with the middle ring on the minijack if they don't touch it don't work

  • APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

    I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

    Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

  • Dv6648se microphone not working with windows 7

    The hard drive died on my laptop this week so I got a new one installed, plus Windows 7.  Now my microphone does not work.   The mic is my lifeline to keep in touch with my family while I'm overseas.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Hurry...I'm running out of wine.

    this is a KNOWN problem with the HP G60 series. Yours is a different model, but from what I ma seeing in this forum - I am beginning to wonder if the sound problenms aren't more widespread.

  • Internal microphone not working with Windows 7 RC on dv9000 (Dv9817cl)

    Hi,  I recently installed Windows 7 RC (64bit) on my HP dv9000 (DV9817cl) and everything seems to work apart from the internal microphones.
    In the Sounds section of the hardware and sound section of control panel there is only one recording device shown "Microphone, High definition audio device, not plugged in".  I take it this is the 3.5mm microphone port on the front of the notebook.  There is only one driver issue showing in device manager for "Other devices>coprocessor".
    The current audio driver is High Definition Audio Device microsoft v6.1.7100.0.  I've tried looking for updated drivers ion the web with no luck so far.
    Does anyone know where I could get an updated driver or have any suggestions to get this going?
    Thanks in advance

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

  • APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

    APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
    I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

    It started working.....!!!!!  (It seems someone back there is listening)
    I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
    I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
    TIPS:
    I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
    I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
    My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
    good luck!!
