Built-in microphone behaving badly.
Hi. It seems my 24" iMac's internal microphone doesn't like to work right, with any program. I get a sound, sure, but it's a horrible sound: Constant, uneven static-like noise, as if it's outside during a windstorm. The actual audio is in there, just extremely faint. It's not an OS X thing, as my Boot Camp installation of XP has the same issue. The mic isn't pushed up against anything, and there's no fan or anything nearby. Any ideas what could be going on?
I just want to video chat. I had my iMac replaced once for graphics issues, and I'm reluctant to have to drop the thing off again. Please let there be a simple fix.
Hi, on reflection, I do not know.. it was just a thought..
I would think Apple Help is your best point of contact..L

Is their a way to adjust the input for the built in microphone for my iPad?
Is their a way to adjust the input for the built in microphone for my iPad? What it is recording is so quiet I can barely hear anything when it plays.
Output works fine with videos and music, but not when I record something.
The sound is all the way up during the recording and during playback.Hi!
Generarly speaking you can't but some apps have that build-it to them. For your sound issues I recommend checking app settings.
There have been reports that some iPads had defective or disconnected microphones. You may need to show it to an Apple Store Genius. If they agree it is bad, you may get a new iPad on the spot.
If there is no Apple Store near you, search for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. In the US, <United States>. Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

How do I use the built-in microphone on my iMac while using Windows XP?
My iMac has a built-in microphone. My computer is set up with a partition to run either mac or windows. I would like to use the built-in microphone feature when I am using Windows XP. Is there any way that I can do this?
Hi and welcome to Discussions,
assuming you have installed the neccessary BootCamp Drivers from the OSX Leopard DVD the internal mic is useable with any kind of recording software.
Windows itself has a rather rudimentary Audiorecorder program built-in.
For a more sophisticated recording program have a look at Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

[SOLVED] HP420 and Built-in microphone don't work.
I have a trouble with my on-board microphone in my laptop (hp-420), it was working some months ago (with previous kernel) and I didn't use it for a while, after several upgrades now I tired to use it and it doesn't work. Second microphone, a jack, doesn't work either, and it's arch related, because I did some tests in windows (have dual boot) and both the built-in and jack work fine. So far I have tried testing alsa configurations, played with preferences and some other things I have read over the internet and in arch forums, but no luck at all. I may think it's kernel related but I'm not sure as I'm not an expert. Also sound works fine, it's only the built in microphone the one I can not get to work. I whish someone could help me or guide me.
So all the info I could gather about my machine and the sound

What is under the switches tab?
Oh -- By the way, that picture is over the size limit defined in the forum rules in tems of pixels, but the file size is okay. I'll let it slide. Watch the bumping as well.
If you want to post the switches tab, upload it to someplace like http://img3.imageshack.us/, copy the thumbnail (which has the link to the original) back here, and you are golden.
I had a bear of a time getting the microphone working on my HP DV4, but it does work. I'll look at the set up when I get home tonight [USA-PDT].
Sorry for the picture and the "bumping"... I have asked in irc in arch and alsa channels and no luck yet... one guy from alsa said I had to wait for the alsa-driver-1.0.24 package (currently I have alsa-driver-1.0.23) but it is weird because the microphone worked some months ago...
So here is what it is under the switches tab -
I am recording stuff on garageband and i need to hear other tracks as I'm playing, but I have to play them through external earphones so that the they don't overlap onto the one I'm creating.
The wire for my earphones has an external microphone attached to it, however, I have no desire to use this microphone as it is ridiculously sensitive and picks up even the slightest vibrations when the wires rub against my cheek or my t-shirt.
Therefore, I need to use the built-in microphone when recording. Except that, whenever I plug in the earphones to the iMac, garageband automatically switches to the external microphone. I went in to the Garageband preferences, and saw that it was set up for recording through the built-in mic, which is strange because input is clearly coming from the external.
So, I went into the iMac System preferences > sound > input. There are three options here: Internal microphone, Line-in, and Soundbooth 3.0.
What I found is that whenever I plug my earphones into the iMac, the option for 'Internal microphone' changes into an option for 'external microphone'. Now, I am fairly sure that an 'external microphone' is EXACTLY the same thing as a 'Line-in', but I'm not so sure now, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
How do I stop the iMac from changing 'Internal microphone' to 'External microphone'? It is very important that I am able use the earphones and the Built-in Mic at the same time.Hi John,
I think the only way is to get an iMic...

How to use built in microphone on ipad3 just for audio no dictation
If you just want to record a a voice memo, use the included Voice Memos app. That has nothing to do with Siri.
-
I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?
A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.
Regards. -
How do I get the built-in microphone to work on my IMac? Camera works fine, but I can't record sound.
I always assummed that the mic was part of iSight (intertwined?). The mic is situated right next to iSight. It would seem to me the solutions would be the same some what.
Regarding the OP, I also suspect his/her problem is hardware. It's rather unusual for the internal mic to not work yet the iSight does. -
After my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1, built in Microphone not working
Just what I said, my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 from IOS 5 on last week, the built in microphone is not working anymore, I can't record the video with sound, and called my friends with Facetime, they can't heard my voice. Then I already restored IOS 5.0.1 for a few time and built in microphone is still not working. Does anyone iPad 2 has the same issue after using IOS 5.0.1? And anyone can help me to fix this? Thx.
I've read other posts about this, and while it seems an odd coincidence, you likely have a faulty microphone. On the right hand side you'll see similar posts. The majority of people who all of the sudden had mic's that wouldn't work after updating, wound up getting their iPads replaced at the Genius Bar at their local Apple Store. You could try rebotting, by pressing and holding BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go fo both buttons and your iPad will restart. If that doesn't work, I would not recommend restoring. Instead, make an appointment at the Apple Store and if found defective it will be replaced. Do remember to create a backup before going. It will make setting up a new device exactly as you had it, much much simpler.

Built in microphone is not working on my Tecra A9
I have a Tecra A9 PTS52A-OEYO3F
My operating system is XP Professional.
I am trying to configure a Skype account without having to purchase a plug in microphone. I believe that my Tecra A9 has a built in microphone. When I test hardware via Control Panel / Sounds and Audio Devices / Voice / Test Hardware, an error message indicates that my voice could not be detected. A similar Skype test also revealed that my voice could not be detected.
The user manual at page 4-23 under the heading Microphone Level sets out the process for changing the recording level. Step 1 requires right clicking of speaker icon on the task bar to reveal Recording Devices on the sub menu. When I perform the right clicking of the speaker icon the menu revealed comprises "Open Volume Control" and "Adjust Audio Properties". There is no "Recording Devices" option hence the instructions in the user manual do not apply.
I am not convinced that I have a built in microphone, and if I do then why is it not functioning.
ThanksHi,
As i know, the laptops equipped with webcam should have inbuilt microphone, too. Update a sound driver, check sound settings well........... -
Built-in microphone not working (or extremely silent) under Windows XP
The built-in microphone works great on my iMac under OS X 10.6.
However, it does not seem to work under Windows XP, using BootCamp. Is there any way to fix it?Hi again, Hariharan
If you right-click on the first selection in the image (the microphone) and select Properties, you should be able to see the driver in formation on the Driver tab in the new window. Can you list the driver Provider, Date, and Version? Also, how long have you had the machine, and how long was the microphone working properly before this issue began?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Re: Portege R700-184 - Built in microphone not working
I can't seem to get the built in microphone to work. However, it works fine with an external usb microphone.
Have tried changing the settings in the control panel called 'Sound' where I click on the 'Recording Tab'. 'Microphone' shows a green tick as the default device. Strangly, the graduated bar to the right of the microphone, sometimes shows random green activity, but nothing which relates to any sounds I make at the time. Driver is working and up to date.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Hey,
>Driver is working and up to date.
What driver you mean exactly? Hopefully not the sound driver because it has nothing to do with internal microphone. It belongs to webcam so you should reinstall/update the webcam driver.

Built In Microphone Has Disappeared
Heyas, I don't know if this is a Lenovo or Windows problem, to be honest, but considering it had to do with my hardware, I figured this was the best place to start!
I have a T61 7659XAU, running Windows Vista w/ Service Pack 1. And, well, the built in microphone seems to no longer be installed. I have used it several times in the past, but haven't for a few months but something came up where I blah blah you're probably smart enough to figure out that I want to use it.
However, when I go into my control panel, it says that no audio recording devices are installed. I didn't do anything here, but I figure someone else probably uninstalled it or something, and I don't know how to bring it back up. Any help would make me very happy!yes i was, but the issue has resolved itself. after a couple of restarts it reappeared and is working fine. straaaaange.
Anyone know why that might be?
Thanks anyway.

Built-in microphone on HP Pavilion DV6500 not working in Windows 8
Hello,
I would like to know why my built-in microphone does not work after I installed Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on my HP.
Please note that before on Windows 7 the microphone did worked.
Service tag dv6551ea
p/n: GJ013EA#B1A

Thank you!Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook and Bluetooth not working. Here are some links that might help. I would check to make sure Bluetooth is on. It shows you how to do that under Connecting Bluetooth. A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, from the Start screen, type Change Bluetooth to open the Search charm, and then select Change Bluetooth settings from the search results. Hope this helps. Thanks.
