After update to 10.5.4 internal microphone wont work

it dosnt work in ichat or in anything else ?

So the Mic shows in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab but the volume adjustment makes no difference.
I have checked to see if MUTE, which would normally effect output had any effect and it does not. My blue bar still moves.
If System Profiler sees the Mic I would try deleting com.apple.audioDevices.Settings.plist from Hard Drive/Library/Preferences
These are the Preferences in the Library you can see when you open the Hard drive not the one in your home folder.
IF this does not bring the Mic back to full life it may need and engineer to tell you more.

TS2634 My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone is set/settings/sound. It used to ring. I think it has to do with updating to IOS 7.0.4? After updating IOS 7.0.3 my microphone stopped working. Had to clear/reload.

My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone set and used to ring. I think it has something to do with updating the IOS 7.0.4. When I updated to 7.0.3 the microphone stopped working. Had to call Apple Support and cleared phone and reloaded. ($57 charge). Any suggestions?

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

Brand New TouchSmart 300 internal microphone not working.

I have been trying to get my internal microphone to work with Skype.
I have done all the tests suggested on this forum and everything says that my microphone is working!
When I record anything I get a muffled noise not anything like speech.
If I record on Windows 7 Sound Recorder the green bar stays at 25% but no sound.
Is there a simple fix as really do not want to take it back to the shop to have it sent away under warranty.
This question was solved.

Re-install Skype, and the drivers.
Reinstall drivers from Recovery Manager or download them from your update site at http://www.support.hp.com .
You can find your PN by pressing CTRL + ALT + S.
Update skype, or reinstall it, as I'm sure the latest version is compatible with Windows 7.
After you perform these tests, please post with the results.
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

What version of iPhoto do you have? With Yosemite you must be running iPhoto 9.6.1 which is a available from the App Store. If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll have to download and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.1. It'll be located in the Applications/Utilities folder after downloading.
Now for your system:
Startup Items: ℹ️

As long as the memory pressure is in the green and constant and you're not seeing a lot of SWODs you shouldn't be concerned about the memory. Of course increasing memory will nearly always improve general system and application performance. But you didn't mention slowness as part of your problem.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.
Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
Any suggestions, please?

Internal Microphone not working for L505D-S5983 (PLEASE HELP!)

Hi,
I can't seem to get my internal microphone to work. I have enabled it under Sound->Manage Audio Devices
->Recording tab. However the green vertical bar does not detect any voice. After setting the Microphone boost to +40dB, it detected some noise (since it has some green light) but I realized it wasn't detecting my voice. Since this did not work, I re-set the Microphone boost to only +10dB. I only have one internal microphone and no external microphone.
I have seen many postings on internal microphones not working on Toshiba laptops but couldn't find a solution to mine. Can someone please help? I think it's about time that Toshiba fix this issue after the countless complaints.

No mentions of reinstalling the sound driver. That sometimes turns on the microphone.

My internal microphone stopped working on my imac?

My internal microphone stopped working on my imac? I only noticed when I tried to use Skype. It was fine till a recent change to hard drive after a mechanical failure and a clean reinstall. I have USB headset and it works fine, in and out. Any answers/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Check your settings in System Preferences>Audio and make sure that internal microphone is selected on the input tab.

NB 200 internal microphone not working

I have been using my NB 200 to communicate via skype for some time and now the internal microphone has stopped working. I have managed to get it working for a brief period last night but then it stopped again when my system rebooted. It therefore appearst o be a software issue. I have tried installing up to date driver software (Realtech) and system restore but the computer says nothign has changed so it will not restore. Please advise. I am using XP as my oeprating system

I've got this problem - internal microphone was working fine up to few weeks ago when I last used it for Skype. All that's happened since then is a couple of Windows updates but now I can't get it to work.
I've tried all the things suggested in this thread:
- Updated Chicony software for webcam
- Updated Realtek software
An external microphone works OK for Skype and the voice recorder utility but doesn't work with audio/video recording using the webcam software.
A Bluetooth headset (which I know is working properly) will connect with the netbook to listen to music and works fine to listen to Skype but won't work to speak and won't work at all record or playback with the webcam software.
I've fiddled with all the control panel settings including voice settings and run all the tests.
So does this sound like a hardware problem or a software problem? If the microphone itself was damaged, why would that affect the use of an external microphone?
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm reluctant to follow up the last suggestion in this thread about reinstalling the OS as I'm not sure why that might sort out the problem?
Thanks

NB205-N210 Internal Microphone NOT Working

My internal microphone quit working on my NB-205-N210 after using an external headset (w/microphone) in the left side analog audio jacks, now I can't get the internal microphone to work again... All I get is "white noise" with the volume control set at maximum... Note: an external analog microphone + USB microphone still work...
What I've tried so-far:
I have tried both Realtek and Windows XP sound and audio device tools to make sure the microphone was not muted, the volume was turned up and selected + boost on (all where set correctly)...
Un-installing then re-installing the current Realtek HD sound drivers (several times), to no avail...
Dis-assembled the netbook to check the internal microphone, plus substituted an electret microphone element to check - no luck...
Checked microphone plug, plus re-soldered the microphone connector on motherboard - still no luck...
I could get by using an external microphone, but that's not convenient when traveling, or the point...
Hope someone can help...
Solved!

After updating my iphone 5 to ios7 it wont connect to the internet

after updating my iphone 5 to ios7 it wont connect to the internet

This helped me
One of the most common complaints we are hearing from users is that they have been unable to access wi-fi and Bluetooth after installing iOS7.
Here are a few things you can try:
- Change the name of your device
The new operating system seems to have an issue with apostrophes. At least when it comes to wi-fi.
Check out your device name. If it is called something like “Claire’s iPhone” it could be the apostrophe that is causing the problem.
To change your device name go to Settings > General > About > Name. Tap on the name to edit it and remove the apostrophe. Save the change. Switch off your phone and then switch it back on again.
Your wi-fi should be working.
We have no idea why this seems to work but many users in Apple’s community forums have said that it works.

After updating to Lion my external monitor no longer works!

I used a external lcd tv to use split screen on my Macbook Pro. After updating to Lion this week it no longer works. First I thought it was my HDMI adapter but I have replaced it and nothing is still working. I've read that people using more than one problem have been having issues but i just have the one external monitor. Help Please!

I found a discussion thread here which seems to do the trick. Like you I've authorized, de-authorized etc, but renaming the files seemed to be the only thing that worked. Here's the detail:

Internal microphone stopped working today - Pavilion G7 - C2M31UA#ABA / Windows 8

Hey there
I am using Skype quite often, but today my internal microphone stopped working. I restarted Skype, my laptop and I also followed all steps of you trouble shooting page. No change ...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bettina
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Enter your device manager.
Can be found by pressing windowskey + x.
Press Sound, video and game controllers.
And right click and remove the one called Realtek high definition (should be something like that).
Reboot the computer, this should make it reinstalll the driver på itself.
If this doesn't work, search for the program called recovery manager. In here you pick the one furthest to the left, called something with reinstall driver. Here you find the one called IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver check it, and press install.
Since it used to work, and you dont have windows 8.1. If this still doesn't fix it, it must be some setting regarding your microphone. So try right clicking your speaker icon down in the right corner, when in desktop mode and pick recording units (translating directly from danish). Please let me know what you see in here.

Try the steps listed in this document from HP. It has the most common solutions and steps to isolate the issue.
It is possibly a hardware issue since an external microphone works without any issue, but let me know what happens with each step of the document as that will help determine if it is a hardware issue or not.
Also, let me know the results of the steps in the Using Windows Sound Recorder to test the microphone section. If this recorded file also exhibits the same behavior, then it is definitely not any third party software causing the issue.
