A505 S6980- Problems with built in microphone

Had to reinstall OPS & drivers with a new hard drive Microphone not working. I have tried MS fix IT & suggestions I found here but to no avail. Can some maybe post a link to something that worked? Thanks in advance

Did you use Toshiba recovery media, or did you reinstall Windows with a Windows installation disc? You can avoid many driver issues by using recovery media. What OS are you using?

Problems with built-in microphone Pavilion dv6700

I have a PC Paviliondv6700 and the built-in microphone is not working and i can´t find the driver anywhere. How can I get it? heeeeeelp need it urgently. Thank you

This should help a bit , in most cases the original driver that came with the unit caused the microphone to not be recognized . I got a link to the page that should help get you going in the right direction . I can't see the information i need to just link you the driver but i think you'll have it from there .
If this helped , hit the kudos button , I'm tryin to show these HP folks how its done .

Do iMacs come with built-in microphones?

I have what may very well be a dumb question so apologies in advance. Do iMacs come with built-in microphones? I have a 21.5"-inch flat-screen iMac running OS 10.7.5. I recently downloaded Skype and have my very first video call scheduled for next week. If iMacs do come with a built-in microphone, what -- if anything -- do you have to do to activate it? If not, any suggestions as to what the best external micophones are? Thanks in advance for your help.

Problem with built in Sound

I have this simple PE NEO-2 motherboard .. and i use the built in sound of the board... the problem i m having is that the sound suddenly disappears during the game.. or other music application... sometime it disappear after 2 min or some time after couple of hours...
So is my board faulty... or problem with drivers or bios update.??
Thanks

k.
well basiclly, when i had the same sound card on my 865PE Neo 2, it had the same problems. take battlefield Vietnam for example, the jet sounds would disappear after a while and come bak very very choppy, as did the weapon sounds. they actually reversed the sound. playing prom back to front.
The problem is the card it self. MSI take no pride what so ever in their sound.
the only way to fix, is either lower sample rate, which resluts in cracklier sound, updating drivers, which sometimes dont work, or just simply upgrading your sound card.
because of this problem i went out and baught my self a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum pro.
frankly.
it i WELL worth the money.
if you want a budget card but still verry good, look for the Sound Blaster Live range. verry verry good.
Hope i am of some service to you all

Having a problem with built in mic in iMac

It seems my built in mic is not working on my iMac 2.7 GHz with Intel Core 15.
I am running OS X 10.9.3
The first option under Audio Devices is
"Built-in Microphone" which is set at 2 in/ 0 out, 44100.0 Hz and 2ch-24 bit Integer
Master volume is all the way to the right, Value = 1 and dB = 12. Mute and Thru are unchecked.
The second option is
"Built-in Input" which is set at 2 in/ 0 out, 48000.0Hz and 2ch-32bit Float, Hardware rate Converter is set to Automatic. Master slider is unavailable, sliders 1 & 2 are all the way to the right both with Value = 1 and dB = 12. Mute and Thru are unchecked.
The speakers are working fine. I noticed the microphone issue when trying to use Facetime, iMovie and GarageBand. During Facetime, I can hear my caller, but they cannot hear me. In GarageBand, I am unable to record vocals. In iMovie, I am unable to record any voiceovers.
I have tried plugging in an iRig mic as well, but it does not work on the iMac, but works fine on my iPad Air.
Can someone Please help me resolve this issue. I am sort of a newbie to Apple desktops. I have googled until I am blue in the face, and everything suggested has not worked for me. Apple support has no answers and I am at a loss. I am begging! ! !
Thank you in advance for any help.

See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18712084#18712084
It's worth resetting the PRAM. See if any other posts there help too, there are a few in simlar posts in the 'More like this' sidebar on the right of the page…

Post relates to: Treo 750 (Cingular)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
You can try a hard reset to resolve this issue. A hard reset will erase all data on the device and restore settings back to default. For further information and instructions on resets please visit kb.palm.com and look up article number 43146 in the Solution I.D. search field.
Once a hard reset has been completed successfully and the device is restored, see if you are still experiencing the same problems with the microphone. If the problems still exsists you have a hardware issue and you will want to seek repair or replacement methods.
I hope this information is useful and please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Having Problems with built in iSight

Hi,
I am having problems with the computer finding my built in iSight camera, I just updated to Mountain Lion and now no applications recognise it.
I have tried turning it off and on again, and switching to different users, but none can identify a connected camera.
Help?
Specs Here
Thanks
Frankie

Hi englishguru,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the steps in this article helpful for troubleshooting the camera on your MacBook:
How to Troubleshoot iSight
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
Since you've determined that the behavior isn't user specific, try these steps:
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Regards,
Jeremy

Problems with built-in iSight and iChat! Nothing works!!

Hello,
i have a problem with my iChat, iChat said that no camera is connected, but the built-in iSight works with Photobooth!
I read many Threads here but no solution works,
there is also an entry in the system profiler USB --> built-in iSight
I closed all other Aplications like Photobooth, iMovie and so on,
than i checked the activity monitor.
I changed the settings in iChat (bandwith) and Quicktime (bandwith)
I did a PRAM reset...nothing changed!
I did a SMC reset...also nothing changed!
The built-in iSight doesnt works with Skype, too!
Please help me!

Hey, I hope people aren't getting annoyed by my compulsive posting, but I think this solution needs to be spread, it doesn't get enough publicity:
the issue is that with 10.5.1, a certain quicktime component that acts as a USB controller for the iSight camera is given an expiry time (i.e., the file is given a feature similar to "trial periods"). This file is then deleted, and iSight ceases to function. All that need be done is to replace the component, by downloading it here:
http://techslaves.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=q8frk8vf81l0f8echu6mj0plk0&action=tpmo d;dl=item16
(disregard the version marking, it works for 10.5.2 in the very least)
Copy it to ~/System/Library/Quicktime, then reboot and it should work.

Recording with built-in microphone.

I'm recording a conversation (in GarageBand) with the built-in microphone and there is weird static. Any ideas how to fix this?

(The settings while recording don't matter at all, since GB records dry and everything else is added after the fact.)
True,
but I am more comfortable with the recording, when I hear the dry recording on playback until I am satisfied with the take - then I add the effects.

Problems with built-in isight: colours and fuzziness

I have just bought a new MacBook, however I seem to have quite a problem with my iSight. When I use it (for example, through Photo Booth) I get an image that is very reddish (it seems like the only colours I get are in the range black-orange-red, and no, I'm not using any special effects like Sepia :)) and that is very fuzzy, or even better, foggy.
Any fix for this? I have had an iMac with an iSight that only showed black and the solution seemed to be to reset the PMU. However, I cannot find information on how to reset the PMU on my new MacBook.

Recording sound with built-in microphone

Want to record simple sounds (kids talking, funny phone messages, etc.) using the internal built-in microphone. Where do you go on system or what application is best to use?
Under old system 9, one would go to system preferences, sound alerts and create a new sound by clicking on new.
However, cannot find how to do this on Tiger.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bellet & Welcome to Apple Discussions,
The easiest way I know how to record simple audio (of the types you describe) through your PowerBook's internal microphone is to download and install a free app called Audio Recorder.

Problems with Built in input/output

I just received my new Macbook Pro 13" from the refurb store, everything has worked perfectly except an issue when using an external USB audio interface.
Whilst running Line 6's Gearbox and Logic Pro Studio 8, i can record my guitar/synth through the interface but without any output sound from the internal speakers, yet when listening back after recording i can hear it fine. I've plugged headphones into the rear of the audio interface and sound is present, so in theory plugging an audio cable from the headphone slot into the built in input on my mac should work... no.
Have run through all settings and the main problem seems to be on the Audio/Midi setup page, where when checking the built in input settings it says on the right handside "Output is not available"
I really need some help with this as the main purpose of this new mac is for sound and audio work for college/university.

Good idea Joe.
I went to my system preferences (I'm running Mavericks) and checked.
My internal microphone shows as 'built-in'
My line in shows as 'audio line-in port'
I moved up the input volume a little to be safe
Output volume on full, but there was never any problem playing tracks previously recorded.
I still haven't reinstalled Garage Band, as I wanted to get my podcast done before the end of the month. I exported the cast as it was to an external hard drive, along with small mp3's I had been about to add in (like my jingle) then went to another computer in the house, and recreated the podcast from those mp3's. I was able to add in the introductory audio recording on that other computer and complete my podcast.
I transferred the newly recreated podcast back to my normal laptop (where the problem occurs), checked and published my podcast. I double checks the newly recreated cast (the one I built up on the other machine from mp3's) to see if I could record now - since I recorded within that particular project on the other machine. I *still was not able to record* on my laptop.
I still cannot create another new project that allows me to audio record. My preferences for the garage band app and op sys on my laptop, all appear to be set for sound.
I guess I will now break down and reinstall garage band. I think I've reset something in the application that an update doesn't reset.
Thanks for your ideas.
