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.

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.

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.

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...

Mic not connecting for voice recording.

Suddenly mic not connecting to server. I have FP 10.1. 102.64 Windows XP 32 bit and explorer 8.   See link which instructs me to "change" but no response.

Thanks for replying;   Have been away for three days and just now found your
reply.   I'm taking interactive language lessons. A segment of each lesson
asks for a verbal response.   I had no trouble with 25 previous lessons - so
far as recording and playback is concerned. Suddenly, for reason unknown to
me, I cannot do the recording. Sound portions from the instructor are as
usual - no trouble. But when I try to record a reply, I get a message
saying I must allow Flash player to access my mike. There is also the word
change in blue - looks like a hyperlink but I can't succeed in inserting it
as hyperlink here. In addditon it seems to initially respond as if it is a
hyperlink with the prelimininary signal (hand with index finger pointing to
it.) However, nothing further happens. It doesn't connect me to anything.
My problem is that somehow the connect between Flash Player and my mike has
failed and I'm unable to find the fix for it. .

QuickTime player 10.2 does not record audio, mic works in other apps

Hi,
OS: Mountain lion
QT player: 10.2
Perian and Soundflower are installed.
QT is not recording audio from the computer mic or even a headphone mic, neither for audio or video recording.
QT starts always for recording with the volume down.
The mic works in other apps (skype or garaband).
I am not able to find either the plist files for QT.
I used QT in the past to record audio from the computer mic.
I recently updated the OS from lion to mountain lion.
Any ideas why is not working?
Thanks!

HP Pavilion DV7 Internal Mic not picking up audio

HP Pavilion DV7 Internal Mic not picking up audio

Sound (in control panel)
Integrated Microphone Array: Enabled
Default Device
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
No error messages
Did not change operating systems or mess with audio/recording settings before problem occured
Still under warranty

Hello schneids,
I see that you are having start up problems with your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with your issues.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your issues.
If you are still having trouble I would suggest testing the power adapter or trying a different power adapter. Most retailers will let you try a power adapter on the computer to see if it works.
Let me know what happens.

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?

How can I use an external mic to record meeting audio with quicktime player

I'm trying to use a SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic to record meetings at a conference I am running.
I'm using Quicktime for the recordings.
The SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic does not transmit any sound when connected to the Audio-in plug on my MacBook Pro.
Does my MacBook Pro require external mics that are also powered - connected via a usb port rather than, or at least in addition to, the audio-in plug, for instance?
What's happening here?
Steve

Macbook Pro does not have a microphone input
You have two options:
1 buy a USB mic and connect to a USB port
2 buy a small very cheap sound mixer that has 3.5 mic level input and a line level out put
something like this:
DAP Audio

Depending on which soundcard you have there, but if your card is capable for
ASIO -> activate I/O drivers on Sonar/Options/Audio/Drivers -tab (mic/line sources should be listed there --> activate) and select the mic or/and Line sources on tracks "I" - dialog
WDM/KS -> use the Surround Mixer or windows recording controls for recording source selection (mic should be listed there)
MME32 - > same w/ WDM/KS
If you use Asio4All --> same w/ WDM/KS & MME32
No mic and line source simultaenously w/ WDM/KS and MME32.
You perhaps be able to do this w/ kX drivers.
jutapa
ADDED:
You can also install modded version of Audigy 2 drivers/software but I have never done this w/ Li've! 5. so I can't be sure if you get ASIO support for your card.
Here are the instruction --> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php

System is not recorded in the system list

Hi all,
I am using BI 7 system which is connected with a source system of SAP R/3 system and there is no problem in the connectivity between these sytems.
When I tried to save a user defined ztable in BI system it shows an error below and also the description the error message would be. Please go through the following the let me provide the solution.

Explaination of the error follows:
System BI7 is not recorded in the system list
Message no: TR638
Diagnosis
The current transport route configuration does not have the system BI7 in this current system list.
The transport route configuration was probably not maintained after the system setup, or was changed incorrectly.

Check in STMS whether your transport route is configured correctly or not. As per error message there is problem in your transport route.
Thanks

Static between Apogee One and Logic 9...When track is armed but not recordi

The static only happens when i sing into the mic or strum the guitar. It begins to happen when i have input monitoring enabled or the track armed (R). It slowly creeps up after a few minutes of NOT recording and just having the track armed. I can make multiple passes at recording and it will eventually go away or...i have to quit logic and apogee and restart but if i leave the track armed and not record continuously its back! Its like a terrible crackle and its as loud as the instrument im trying to record.

I dont have an FTP at this time and i tried uploading to steven slate drums but havnt been on there for a while and wasnt able to ...Too bad apples forum doesnt allow mp3s or wavs
