Am I muting both microphone and speakers during Lync conference?

I would like to ensure that my microphone is turned off/muted during Lync conferences, as I prefer to dial in for audio. When I click the mute on the microphone/phone icon, a red "X"
appears but it only says speakers muted. Is my microphone muted as well?

Agree with Georg, When you’re connected to a call, use the audio controls to mute, unmute, or change your device. Mute: Click the phone/mic icon to mute your line.When
you’re muted, the icon changes to

Headphones plugged in, but sound is coming out from both headphones and speakers

My laptop has had this problem for quite some time now, it first materialized when I updated to Windows 8.1. I had recently upgraded to Windows 10, and the problem fixed itself. But when I used the laptop the next day, it reverted back to playing from both headphones and speakers, so it's not really a problem with the hardware. I've also restored the laptop multiple times (using restore point), and the problem gets fixed for a day, then comes back the next day. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, but no luck.
Laptop does not recognize the headphones even when they're plugged in.
Any other solutions?

Hi @Alpha_ ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b017c Sleekbook and not playing sound correctly. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
Here is another step to try.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio is your default.
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues as headphones or speakers.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
Hope this helps with the sound.
Thanks.

Can I somehow connect both an external microphone and speakers via the 3,5 mm at the same time?

Thank you!

Help With Recording both Microphone and Audio Playback Simultaneously

I am trying to record both my own microphone and another audio source at the same time. The other source is a VOIP program. When I try to set up a multitrack session I can only select either my Microphone or The sound card as my input for the tracks. When I try to set up one and then the other, I have to change my default input device from the audio hardware settings which then excludes the other device from being used. I am following the steps in these two videos here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAJ9rXepKZc
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAJ9rXepKZc
Thank you for your help.

Since Audition inherently uses ASIO, the windows driver you see in the hardware setup is translating the built-in driver information (not ASIO) to this standard. The ASIO4ALL driver, which you can download for free, has some advantages in this regard; it will let you see all of the devices connected to your system with valid windows drivers and possibly let you connect more than one at a time - although I'm not promising that this will work... (although it seemed to in the video)
The thing you have to understand about ASIO is that it bypasses a lot of the OS, and inherently will only ever work with one device at a time. Fortunately, ASIO4ALL counts as a single device, and to that extent, Audition doesn't care what's connected to it. You may yet run into difficulty though, because your mic and Windows internal hardware aren't synced together, and ASIO4ALL may regard this as an insuperable problem. The reason that I think it might work though is that your mic is a USB device, and the drivers for this are a little different. Normally we regard USB mics as being a right PITA, but in this case it might be your saving grace - I don't know.
The usual solution to this problem is to use an external sound device with more than just single inputs and outputs, and with an ASIO driver. This method doesn't use 'what you hear' at all, but routes the software feed from your VOIP package straight to one output, which you feed to a small external mixer. Into the mixer, you plug your external mic as well. The mixer output goes to another pair of inputs on your sound device, and this is what you record in Audition, generally you on one channel and the incoming caller on another (or you can use a stereo pair split left and right). The advantage of this is that you can monitor the call on the mixer, and once you have the levels set about right, just concentrate on the call - final level tweaking, which is invariably needed, is easy, because you've kept both sides of the converstation on different tracks.

How to handle BP who is both Customer and Vendor during history import?

Hi Forum,
This is for importing Financial transactions for Open Sales Orders, Open Sales Invoices, Open Purchase Orders and Open Purchase Invoices and also for importing history for all Closed Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Invoices.
Our prospect has in their current system Business Partners who are both Customers and Suppliers (Vendors). In SAP Business ONE, BP is unique. It is recommended I believe in situation where BP is both Customer and Vendor, we need to create two BP Ids.
Question?
How do we import open and history of invoices in this situation where the same BP is both Customer and Vendor? Any tips would help please.
Thank you all very much.

Hi Syed,
As Gordon and Rahul said, it is painful for you if you import closed transactions.
Try to compromise your client that to use the old system for last year/old reports.
Its always good practice to import the Opening balance and even the open documents only.
If you have partially open items, then import the document for open quantities only.
Let's say, if you have a sale order with an item of 100 Qty. Among that 100 qty, lets 20 qty has been already delivered then you have to create the sale order in SAP for remaining 80 qty only.
Regards,
Bala

Thinkpad X201 - problem with microphone and speakers

Hi,
My thinkpad X201 is a professional computer set up with Windows XP. Although I cannot check, I am reasonably sure that the computer was installed with the latest drivers and is regularly updated to the latest SP and patches.
My problem is the following: in Volume Control window, when both the general "Volume Control" and "Mic in Volume" are un-muted and maxed-up, a feedback loop quickly builds. When I decrease the volumes of both to a lower values, I can actually hear myself speak with a slight delay. The same phenomenon can be heard if I use the internal mic or if I plug in a microphone.
So, it seems that the (internal or external) mic input is constantly sent to the speakers. This makes any recording with this computer very painful.
Did anybody experience this problem? Is there a solution?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

Ok, I've fixed the Radio thing, I installed the Nvida drivers from the Nvida site, and then had to select the aux input twice. Still havn't fixed the Mic issue, any suggestions?
Thanks!

Both headphones and speakers play aloud at the same time, why???

I have just purchased macbook pro... im in windows XP right now. I installed an mp3 player, Winamp, put my headphones on and the music comes through the headphones AND the speakers on the laptop at the same time. Why is this? I thought sound is muted on the computer once you plug the headphones in. Any ideas or suggestions is appreciated!! thanks

email me: [email protected]

I originally posted in another posting, didn't realize this was posted twice. In case, you didn't realize you posted twice,I'll copy my reply in both messages.
The sound card on the macbook has a combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack). So sound is being piped out both sound outputs in OSX and XP.
The difference comes in because XP and the windows sound drivers for that card, do not know how to handle dual digital audio outputs and instead of shutting down the internal digital speakers(on our Macbook)when say your headphones are plugged in, windows just leaves both digital outputs open.
To resolve this issue, contact Apple or the soundcard vendor to obtain a Windows XP driver that supports digital output on the dual-mode analog/digital capable sound card.
To work around this issue, use analog speakers or headphones.
Hope this Helps!

Microphone and speakers died

I broke my iPhone 4 screen about 6 weeks ago.. it's not terrible and the phone was completely fine otherwise so I just kept using it. About 2 weeks ago my microphone quit working completely and the external speakers now output at about 50% volume. It has made the phone pretty unusable as I can't make any calls. Nothing happened to my phone to cause this to happen and I'm pretty sure that it wasn't my fault in any way. It cracked from the top right corner of the phone so neither of those things would have taken too significant of a blow when I dropped it six weeks ago. If I go into the apple store and ask them to look at it will they not be able to help me because my screen is broken?

You could always try at the Apple store, the worst that can happen is they say no.
If you have never made backups (to itunes or icloud) that include the photos you want, then there's just no way to get them back (if Apple can't do it).
The "app" you mention that had information, was this an Apple app, like Calendars or Contacts? If you had the device logged to an icloud account, then all that data would be available for download on a new device. Otherwise that data is gone unless you had made a backup when the data was still on the phone.

Undo removed Microphone and Speakers devices from ...

I had my audio skype options set to chose from the list of devices in order of the priority I've set. Recently I had some problems with my microphone (sorted out as it was a hardware problem) and I wanted to have a look at the options again. I noticed that no matter what I was dooing (eg plugging or unplugging my headphones from the IO jacks) the same options was chosen by skype :
-Microphone (Raltek High Definition Audio)
-Speakers (Raltek High Definition Audio)
And all the rest was shaded gray.
I thought I can remove them and the next time I open skype it will detect again the devices. But this was not the case ! How can I have all the devices back there ?.
Now, the input and output is sorted by raltek I guess, but I cannot figure out exactly how can I controll these. When I plug the headphones, it is taken as IO and when I unplug them the build in IO are taken.
I want the ability to have my headphones plugged (and other devices, eg third party webcam), and choose whenever I want to take the microphone input from my build in laptop or from headphones or from my third party web cam and so on. How can I achieve this?

Hi Amanda,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

Volume resets on both headphones and speakers upon shutdown/restart

Every single time I shut down my MacBook Pro, it resets the volume to a little over halfway for headphones/external speakers, and halfway for the speakers in the MacBook Pro. I've tried resetting the VRAM and PRAM but I haven't been able to. Every time I hold down the keys it just boots to a normal login window. If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I would be very appreciative.

Worked beautifully! Thank you very much!!

Tried it reverting to an older version of Skype. Didn't work.
But! I believe I may have found the solution.
Here are the steps I took to solve the issue:
1. Right click on the audio volume control icon -> Playback devices. The Sound window and Playback tab should be open.
2. Set Speakers/HP as both the Default Device and the Default Communications Device.
3. Go to Skype>Tools>Audio Settings. Set Speakers settings to: Speakers/HP (IDT High Audio Definition CODEC).
Hopefully this will work for anyone else who has the same or a similar problem.

Equium A300D - microphone and speakers don't work properly

I have an annoying problem.
With my sound card on its default driver, I cannot get the microphone (front jack) to pick up anything.
Yet when I upgrade with the latest drivers I then lose the onboard speakers and can only get sound by plugging in external speakers.
Can anyone help?

Hi!
I dont understand why the onboard speakers not work with the latest drives.
Did you download the driver from Toshiba?
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Furthermore you should check if you have the newest BIOS version. There are two BIOS versions available: One for Vista 64bit and one for Vista 32bit. So choose the right one make the update.

After XP downgrade, sound comes through both headphones and speakers

Hi Forum Family,
I recently downgraded my Pavilion dv2615nr from Vista to Windows XP. Managed to install all the drivers and then followed advice from CherylG (to whom I owe my ability to do anything with this laptop, frankly) to get the sound working.
My remaining problem is that plugging in my headphones doesn't cut off the sound through my speakers.
I have tried reinstalling the drivers following Cheryl G's advice but it returns me to the same problem.
Can anyone help a newbie?
This question was solved.

That driver is known good and I used it in my notebook (see my sig)
However, that driver have poor quality when I use mic for chatting.

USING BOTH HEADPHONES AND SPEAKERS

I work in a small store near a busy street, is there a way to keep the built in speakers of my MBP and my headphones as well, at the same time? Since I need music in the store but I don't want to hear all what's happening in the street...

I don't think this is possible, i think it's hardware controlled. As soon as you plug headphones in a switch is set to channel audio to ur headphones (but i could be wrong about this).
Close the door of the store ?
