Built-In Mic not working when Headphones plugged in?

I'm currently using the 13 inch Macbook Pro with the latest software. I noticed just today that the built-in microphone that comes with the laptop will not work when I plug in my headphones. However, as soon as I remove them, they resume working.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Use headphones that also have a microphone.

  • My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it.  How do I get to listen on headphones again on my IPod touch?

    My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it.  How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?

    You likely have a problem with the headphone jack.  You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
    - Get the jack fixed.  Here is one place:
    DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
    However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
    Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
    The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

    I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
    The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
    Your options are:
    1) Unplug the headset.
    2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
    3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
    4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.

    Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

  • My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger.

    My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger. Evenmore when it is on the charger and it still not working, it asks to connect to i-tunes but i can't and i can see only emergency calls. What should i do?

    If it only works when connected to a charger, that would indicate a battery issue.
    As for the other issue... do as it suggests and connect to iTunes then restore.  There is no logical, intelligent expectation that anything on the device can be accessed as long as the "Connect to iTunes" screen is displaying.

  • Internal Mic is mute when headphone plugged in

    Hi,
    My laptop is Toshiba R30 with Windows 7 SP1.
    The internal mic of the laptop will be mute automatically when ever I plug in my headphone, which doesn't have a mic in it. Is there any way that I can use the internal mic of the laptop while using my headphone?
    Thanks!

    Hello ricky_waldron,
    Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
    Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
    Here is a link to the updates.
    Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
    You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
    Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Built in Mic not working on Imac Windows 7 boot camp

    I've been doing research and a lot of people seem to have problems with macbook pros mics not working for vista or XP. My current problem is on an Imac running Windows 7 32bit boot camp. The built in mic REFUSES to work be recognized or show any signs of picking up sounds. It won't work in Sound Recorder, Ventrillo or any program. Any help is appreciated if you need any more info let me know. Yes my mac is fully updated with both windows updates and mac updates.

    Edit: I'm running an Imac Version 10.6.6 intel core 2 duo, 2.4GHz

    Same Here... is there any solution? i have 64 bit windows 7 and still the same problem.. external mics don't work either!

  • Volume not working when I plug and take out headphones

    When I plug in my headphones, my keyboard button and the slider button in the menu bar stop working.
    I can hear the water droplet sound when I hit the keyboard button, but it doesn't change the volume. With the menu slider, it moves, but doesn't change volume.
    I have to go to system preverences and change the volume from there.
    When I unplug the headphones, it says
    Name
    Type
    Internal Speakers
    Headphone Port
    Where I think it should say, as it does before
    Name
    Type
    Internal Speakers
    Built-in Port
    and none of the controls changes the volume, it just moves.
    What can I do to get the volume working again?
    I tried a PRAM reset and that did no help.
    Do I need to update to Mountain Lion? or is there a cheaper/easier way to do this. Thanks!

  • Built in mic not working

    I just noticed my built in mic is not working at all and I need to use it. I've tried setting it in system preferences but can't get it to do anything. A hardware test has reavealed nothing. BTW the mic input seems to be dead also.
    I thought I'd ask if anyone has any tricks on this before I call Applecare to the rescue.
    Thanks,

    Many G5 Power Mac users have trouble with the built-in microphone - you can see why from the specs.
    http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G5_Early2005.html
    The analogue audio-in port on the G5 is line-in and requires a higher-level input than a simple microphone can provide - the usual solution is to use either a powered mic, a mic pre-amp or a USB i/f - some discussion here
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=597246#597246
    and elsewhere if you enter "microphone" in the search box at top right of this forum.
    If, on the other hand, you have a G5 iMac, you may have more fortune in the iMac forum

  • Why does my printer not work when i plug in the internet? (ethernet)

    hey guys,
    i have the Mac connected to a large digital printer via the ethernet connection. works fine, no problems untill i plug in the internet. I get an error message in my software and can't print any jobs, but the internet works fine.
    I have a feeling that its a network problem, but don't want to mess around too much with the settings.
    This is a company internet connection.
    if anyone could advise of the possible network settings, I would be very greatful.
    thanks again.

    Your Mac sends traffic to the interface at the top of the list in
    System Preferences > Network
    When you plug in the second Ethernet, that Interface jumps to the top of the list and all traffic goes there.
    The solution is to cable that Printer to your Router, not to your Mac.
    Alternatively, you could add a small Switch and connect your Mac and the printer to it.
    If you really want to you can use Internet Sharing to add the Ethernet port going to the Printer to the Network connacted to the Internet.

  • Itunes not working when nano plugged in

    Hi, I'm pretty sure I did something wrong... I unplugged my nano from my pc without ejecting because I didn't want it to auto sync. Now when I plug it back in, it won't open itunes. If I manually open itunes, it stays frozen. But itunes seems to work fine when nano is not plugged in. This all happened because I got a new pc and was trying to figure out how to get around the auto sync... Help!

    The model=auto option was actually the only thing i found on the internet that looked related and/or promising so i already tried that.
    Sadly, it didn't help.
    Even if you mute the PCM channel ?
    There's no such option for my PCM channel. Can't mute it.
    It might be unrelated, but something that struck me as strange is the that there's no more volume support by my acpi-module.
    > c /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
    level: unsupported
    mute: off
    Before 2.6.33 thinkpad-acpi has always been able to control the volume. However that might just be because tpacpi is switching its interface more and more to /sys instead of /proc.
    Any more ideas?

  • Line in / Built in Mic not working

    Hello everyone. I've got an iMac G5 and for some reason it just doesn't want to accept any sound input.
    The built in mic and line in both have the same behavior; no matter what I set the input volume to the bar never budges no matter how loud the sound is. The only time I even see the bar twitch is when I switch between the built in mic input and line in; sometimes I will see the bar flicker for an instant.
    This problem was happening with 10.4.2 and hasn't been fixed by 10.4.3. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

    Have same problem and have read entire thread. I
    don't have LOGIC so could not try it. Only
    difference with me is that my indicator shows input
    from line and I can vary it with input source volume
    controL. Just cannot hear it thru built in speaker.
    Both MIDI and PREF set correctly. Need help from
    anyone on this thread.
    You will not hear sound automatically through your speakers. You need something to listen to the audio that is being piped in.
    Try the program "LineIn" from:

    This should get you going.
