Bluetooth headset's mic does not work

I have NB205-312BL netbook and bought Acoustic Research ARWH1 bluetooth headset.
I am able to pair it with the netbook easily. However, the mic does not work! Only audio playback works. I know it is not the fault of the headset because the mic works pretty well with a cell phone.
When I look at Device's properties, I see that the device is identified as a 'headset' but an audio-sink device.
The mic does not work even if I explicitly select "Bluetooth Wave" as the sound/voice input device.
The netbook runs Windows XP. It has the latest Toshiba Bluetooth software 6.40.xx installed on it.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First you need to get your keyboard fixed. The caps lock appears to be stuck.
What have you tried, and what symptoms do you observe? "Does not work" does not tell us much.

CIT200 Internal mic does not work??

I am using the CIT200 under WIndows 7. It connects fine to Skype and drivers are installed OK. When I call, the internal mic does not work (phone's internal speaker is fine), but when I plug in a headset, the headset mic (and speaker) works just fine. Does this mean the internal mic is physically damaged, or is there anything I can do software vise to get it to work?

Hmmm, well never tried to make the CIT200 software on a Virtual PC, but you can give a try and check if that solves your problem or not.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

The T61 internal mic does not work when docked

The internal mic does not work when docked. However works fine when undocked.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I go this issue very recently. What I did to solve the problem was probably mentioned before somwehre over the web.
First of all, I degraded Skype from the latest version to skype 6.1.0.129. Then I went in Skype - Tools - Option - Advanced Settings - Automatic Updates and click "Turn off automatic updates" and Save. I closed (Quit Skype) Skype then.
I clicked on Start (in toolbar) and in search area typed Device Meneger. Then in Sound Video and game controlers, highlite and right click on mouse on IDT High Definition Audio Codec and press Unistall. This will unistall IDT drivers from the system. You must restart your computer.
Once you come back after reboot, you must go again to the Sound Video and game controlers and remove the rest part of your driver. After reboot go Sound Video and game controlers and click "Scan for hardware changes" then system find your IDT Sound Card again. Please install the latest driver (6.10.6367.0) and reboot. After reboot you should have mic working while on Skype.

Bluetooth on iPhone 6 does not work with car stereo

I have used iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S on my car - my own and my families phones. They all work as intended with regard to music and most importantly telephony. My car (FORD S-MAX) has buttons etc. for phone navigation. My daughters and wifes 5S's still work.
When I paired my new iPhone 6, the pairing itself was successful, but it does not work at all.
1) Incoming calls show my own telephone number, regardless of who calls
2) I cannot use the car buttons for anything, neither pickup, hangup or anything else
3) Regardless of what I do, the Podcast starts playing, if I choose Bluetooth as sound input on car. If I click pause on Podcast, it resumes after a while, sometimes immediately.
4) If I use the phone to dial a number, the sound is not in the car, even if sound source is Bluetooth/Car. If I select something else and back to car, the sound is in the car.
Hopefully this is soon to be solved! Or is there already a solution out there?
Best regards
Matt, Denmark

My iPhone 6 pairs just fine with my 07 Z4 ,no idrive etc just the basic B/T install on a Business standard radio set up with e snap in connector for the iPhone
but not yet an iPhone 6 snap in
You may need to ensure you clear all ol pairings from Beemer they have a limited number of pairings that can be stored at one time
To dispel all the bad press my 6 also happily paired with my '13 X1 without any issues and with the correct snap in also plays audio
The issue is usually with iDrive which BMW do have some issues with

You need to set it up in Skype preferences.

Mic does not work in Valve ga

I have a Creative Labs X-Fi Platinum sound card with the li've dri've bay
extension. I have tried using the mic input on the soundcard card itself and
I have tried using the mic2 inputs and the aux line2 inputs on the dri've
bay. I configured the Creative software and the control panel audio options
for either microphone and the bay inputs and I still can not send chat audio
in games. When I test my mic with sound recorder I get a reading and it does
recoed my voice but when I go into a game the games do not receive my audio.
I tested the audio levels in Day of Defeat and Counter Strike Source in the
options / voice menu. Both programs show the mic working when I do a
microphone test but when I finally go into the game itself again no good I
can not transmit any voice. When I do the microphone test in Sound Recorder
or in X-Fire I here my voice while I talk and then I hear my voice again
with a slight delay. I have the I have tried 2 different headsets that I
know work but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My system is:
Win XP Pro SP2
AMD dual core 4800+
Sound card Creative Labs X-Fi Platinum
Asus A8n-SLI Premium Mobo (on board sound disabled)
EVGA 8800GTX
G Cosair Xtreme mem
All hardware and software have the latest patches and drivers installed.

Your line in or mic in on the I/O bay should show up as line in or Mic in -2. These will not show up as just generic since you obviously have front I/O bay and rear of the sound card jacks. You do have to change your recording source in your mixer before entering the game in Creative control panel, as well as your windows recording properties. change it first in the Windows Recording properties, and then make sure it matches in your Creative Audigy control panel. Do a recording test first using Windows sound recorder. Battlefield 2 may be similar to Call of Duty. I talked to the game developers' studio and they had said that their respecti've games primarily look for the mic on the back of the card and have no provisions for looking for other mic ports that may be avaiilable. This also causes wrinkles with Ventrilo. Mapping your "default recording device" in the Windows Control Panel, and then the Creative Control Panel is cruciial. On my system for example, I use my X-Fi Titanium with my cooler master front panel jacks. But if I run the game once with the headset and mic plugged in to the front jacks, play the game and exit, and then unplug the headphones and mic, the back jack becomes the default again immediately. In my control panel, when my mic is plugged in it says, "Microphone FP". When I unplug it, it only lists "microphone" as a choice. Also with my card I have to set the Flexijack in the back of the card to microphone and not "line in".

Bluetooth on iphone 6 does not work on BMW

Just purchased a new iphone 6 and while I love the phone the Bluetooth does not pair with my 2007 BMW. I have iOS 8.1.3 and I can type in the pass pin on both phone and car but the message indicates the pairing failed I have tried this numerous time. MY iphone 5 did not have this issue. I am actually thinking of returning my iphone 6 and going back to my old phone to remedy the issue.
Apple, is there any resolution for this issue?

Um my mic does not work I've try every thing help??

It's still not working

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
