Audio input either through audio jack or through USB.

I need to connect a device on my laptop that only has ONE audio panel (for a headphone AND microphone device).
This does not recognize my microphone only device.
Is there a driver I can download to use for it to recognize my microphone?
I also have a USB that I can connect instead, which driver should I download for it to record sound through USB?

Hi Nikker,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I saw your post regarding the problems with the microphone. Most HP notebooks have a built-in mic to confirm that I will need to know your product number. You said it won't recognize your microphone but does it see it in Sound in your Control Panel. If it is listed there we can try to set it as the default recording device. This third-party link will show you how to do that about halfway down.
As for a driver that will let you record sound through your USB with a USB microphone there is no HP driver for that. There might be a driver from the company that makes the USB microphone.
Also what is your operating system?

  • Audio in through headphone jack, out through USB?

    Hi community, hoping you all can help me solve an audio puzzle.  I currently play iTunes through a USB digital audio convertor connected to powered speakers.  The system works great (especially with the "remote" app to control it).  However, I would like to play my TV's audio through the same USB device.  I have an oldish macbook pro.  I've confirmed that the headphone jack can be used as input and made this selection in system preferences, where I have also selected the DAC as the output.  The TV out is plugged in to the macbook headphone jack and I can see the audio registering on the little meter in the audio input preferences but I cannot get it to pass through to my speakers.  I've reset the PRAM and SMC and I've fiddled with audio MIDI setup to no avail.  Perhaps this just isn't possible but I'd thougth I'd ask for help here before I gave up.
    Oh, and before someone suggests it, the DAC only has USB input, no other options.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried using another HeadPhones ?

  • Dv9700 audio input in - alternate audio jack port pcb board available?

    I have an HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC, Product LC329UA#ABA
    There is no sound/audio input in jack, 2 headphone jacks instead
    I want to hook up a device which uses the input in jack for my turntable
    Have seen part 449763-001 described as Genuine HP Audio PCB + Cable for dv9000 series. Audio and infrared (IR) circuit board - Contains the IR receiver, microphone, line-in, and headphone jacks
    Is this true, or is it the same board currently in my laptop with 2 headphone jacks?
    If only 2 headphone jack board available, is there an alternative usb device that has an audio in jack I could use?

    I recently discovered this and the fw800 is also gone. For audio, this will work http://store.griffintechnology.com/imic
    Good luck.

  • No Audio Input Via 3.5mm Jack

    I understand that the Envy 23 has a single pin jack for input/output (headphones). 
    However, I have never been able to get the jack to work as an analog input (from a record turntable & mixer to digitize vinyl). It worked fine on my old HP desktop (with the designated separate jacks). No input signal at all...
    I've tried different kinds of 3.5mm jack (2 ring, 3 ring), different digitizing programs, every configuration I can think of in the Windows audio device controls...nothing. 
    any ideas? I'm at my wit's end! 

    Hi,
    Firstly have you tried somting similar to  the following adapter ?
    Secondly: have you tried a microphone with the above adapter ?
    Regards.

  • Music through headphone jack + Calls through Bluetooth headset?

    While driving, I usually have an internet radio app streaming music. My car stereo supports both bluetooth and normal aux plug input.  I also have Bluetooth headset for calls. However, when I turn my BT headset on (a Jawbone ERA), all audio gets routed into my one ear — music, calls, GPS directions, Siri.
    Is there any way to having music play to my car stereo (via BT or aux plug) and lettting my earpiece just handle Siri & telephone calls?

    i've had my phone connected to my car stereo via the dock connector, and have been able to answer calls via bluetooth. so i would imagine it works the same way with the headphone jack.

  • Music through headphone jack, calls through bluetooth

    Can I connect the iPhone to my car through the headphone jack to play music through my car stero, while at the same time having a bluetooth headset connected to send/receive calls?

    Im using an iMic to record but now it all of a sudden won't pick up anything played through it, yet if i turn on garageband it works. logic pro does acknowledge that the imic is plugged in but still won't pick up any sound, even with audio input : imic and audio output : external speakers. is this just logic pro not working properly?

    Same problem - happened after recent logic update.

  • Audio input and output

    I am trying to get audio to play through from the audio input to the audio output. I have plugged a line-level keyboard into the audio input and as I play it, it shows that it has plenty of input level in the sound panel of the system preferences. However, there is no sound coming out. I have tried speakers, headphones and the Griffin IMic. If I use a program like SoundStudio3 and click the audio "thru" button it works fine, but it does not work without.
    Is there a THRU switch that I am missing somewhere? I tried the Applications/Utilities/AudioMIDI setup to configure it, but the Thru button at the bottom is greyed out (not in operation).
    Thanks.

    Hi Rich,
    Welcome to apple forum.
    In my opinion, I don't think OS X have the capability to sent the audio input "THRU" to output directly (I could be wrong).
    You need to use Garage band or third party software like you mention before to allow it.
    Maybe if you connect third party device that is "supported" the signal become audible and you can hear it. Like mBox using core audio driver.

    Good Luck.

  • Using USB on MacBook Pro for audio input

    I have a turntable that outputs audio via USB for conversion from LPs to digital sound on my MacBook. It comes with Audacity software for control of the process. When I use my daughter's 5 year old Gateway I am presented, within Audacity, with a drop down of audio input choices - including the USB ports. When I try to use my MacBook the only option for audio input is the Microphone jack.
    I'm pretty sure that I should be able to use the USB port for audio input but am unsure how to make it happen. I'm comfortable using GarageBand if the Audacity software is the problem.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    The previous answer is CRAP, your turntable already provides you digital audio over USB.
    You just have to select USB Audio as the default audio input.
    Under OSX this is not done inside Audacity, as is done under Windows. It must be done on the System Preferences, Audio.
    There you will be able to select the USB interface as your default sound input.
    After this, launch Audacity, and there you will see that the USB audio is now the only available option...

  • Ideapad 400 Audio Input Issue

    Hey there,
    I'm trying to use this computer for audio production and recording and it gave me a lot of issues today trying to get an audio input. There's no specific audio line-in 1/8" jack that I can see, so I tried using the only 1/8" jack there and Audacity wouldn't recognize it as an audio input. So I tried using a USB audio device, which also was not recognized.
    Any help on this would be appreciated, I'd hate to have to return this laptop over this issue.

    Hi retiredactor
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    It sounds like maybe the 3.5mm end is not completely seated into the iMac's input port or you have a bad or mono 3.5mm to RCA cable.
    Check out some example's of 3.5mm stereo to RCA cables and an adapter in the link's below.

  • No audio input or output when connected to bluetooth headset

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" early 2013 (MacBookPro10,1) and a Plantronic Legend.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite (I am not 100% sure it's related, it just didn't happen on Mavericks), I have the following problem: my headset connects to the MacBook correctly, but I don't see it in the sound preference panel, neither under audio input nor under audio output.
    If I open the System Information, I can see the Bluetooth Headset being recognised as such:
         Major Type: Audio
         Minor Type: Headset
    If I reset the SMC and repair the headset, it works again, but that's a hassle.
    Anybody else having the issue and maybe found a better workaround?

    Removing and pairing again the Plantronics Voyager Legend solves the issue. But it keeps on happening again. Really annoying.
    I have firmware v106 for the Plantronics Voyager Legend, which is the latest at the time of writing.

  • Cannot set Edirol UA 25 as audio input in Magic Garageband

    Edirol UA 25 fine when working in GB itself - but despite numerous attempts to set this device as source for audio input (GB Preferences>Audio/Midi) when in Magic GB it keeps switching back to 'Built-in input"
    I've downloaded latest drivers for UA 25

    I was in channel 2 and switched to channel 1 and it worked fine - thank you.
    (normally plug into channel 2 for GB - just force of habit)

  • Audio input through external microphone not 'heard' by computer

    I can record audio with any app through the builtin mic.  And I know the system 'hears' sound through the builtin mic when I go to SystemPreferences->Sound->Input. 
    I have an external microphone that I want to record through.  I went to SystemPreferences->Sound->Input and chose 'Line In' and plugged in the microphone's lead into the 'in' jack.  However the SystemPreferences->Sound->Input Input Level sensor/detector is dead -- it shows no audio input.  Nor does iMovie pick up any audio input when the mic is plugged in.
    I know the input jack works by plugging in the output pin from a cassette-player, choosing 'Line In', and playing a cassette.  The Input Level sensor/detector comes on and the sound is available to apps.
    I know the external microphone works by plugging it into the cassette-player and recording from it and tapping and rubbing on its pick-up.  The sounds are captured on cassette tape.
    So why is audio input through external microphone not 'heard' by the computer?  Is there some trick to making it work?

    There are a few possibilities, but the most likely is that your microphone does not produce enough signal to be "heard" through the Mac line input. Usually this is normal, with most microphones producing perhaps 1/100th of the signal needed, which would be called "mic level".
    You cassette deck probably outputs "line level", much stronger and strong enough to register in the Mac Line input. Similarly, the cassette deck microphone input is probably "mic level" and much more sensitive than the Mac line input.
    There are other possibilities, such as a powered microphone, but you have not provided any model numbers or specifications to analyze.
    Try this: plug in the microphone like you did before, and make a really loud sound right in front of the mike, like clapping hands. You may see or hear a faint sound register on the Mac.
    The usual cure is to buy a microphone preamplifer. You can also buy a new microphone with a built-in preamplifier. You can also buy a USB microphone or preamplifier device that bypasses the analog Line input entirely.

  • How to make my computer send all the audio through optical audio cable instead of headphone jack?

    Howdy,
    To listen to online radios or CD's played from my computer, I used to connect the computer to my home entertainment system from the computer's headphone jack to the AUX port on my home entertainment system.
    I now wanted to get better sound and purchased the optical audio cable. However, I don't know how to tell my computer to send the audio signal to the home entertainmeny system through the optical digital cable rather than through the headphone jack. If I just unplug the cable connecting the headphone jack and the AUX port and only have the PC and the system connected with the optical audio cable, I don't hear any sounds. I suspect the computer isn't sending any data through the optical audio port. I'm not able to find how I can adjust the settings on my computer so that from now all sounds are output through the optical audio.
    1) I'd like to do that mainly for my HP desktop (configuration below) and any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.
    2) I also have a HP laptop (configuration below) and was wondering if that would be doable too (even though it doesn't appear to have a audio out, but it has HDMI out - can one convert it to optical audio?

    Hello @_goma,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I have read your post on how you are looking to make your computer send all the audio through an optical audio cable instead of the headphone jack, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To configure your desktop to enable the optical audio cable, I recommend following the steps below:
    Step 1. Click the Windows Key Button on your desktop
    Step 2. Type "Control Panel"
    Step 3. Select "Control Panel" in the top right-hand corner
    Step 4. Select Sound
    Step 5. Under the Playback tab, right-click the white area below the devices available
    Step 6. Select "Show Disabled" and "Show Disconnected Devices"
    Step 7. Connect your Optical Audio Cable
    Step 8. Select your Optical Audio Cable as the default device and click "Enable"
    Since it is not possible to convert the HDMI out to audio out on your notebook computer, it is unfortunate that the notebook is not able to connect with an optical audio cord.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

    - You are doing a double upmix/downmix. For me, I tried playing a movie I bought from ITUNES. It was 00% 5. sound but I, like you, only heard 4 channels. Then I realized that on my Logitech analog speakers that I had pressed the "matrix" button which is meant to physically take stereo and put it through all fi've speakers. So VLC was playing the file just fine but my speakers were taking the fi've to one sound and making it stereo.
