Can Hear From Mic through Speaker but cant capture in audacity

Hi,
I have the following Sound Card.
05:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)
        Subsystem: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
        I/O ports at e800 [size=256]
        Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
        Kernel driver in use: C-Media PCI
        Kernel modules: snd-cmipci
It is detected and I can hear the sound Sound from Mic Through the speaker.
How ever I am not able to record it in audacity.
Mic Does not work on Skype too :-(
Could some one help me trouble shoot this?
thanks :-)

I had similar problems and could get nothing whatsoever when trying to record from the microphone or using it in Skype (it was obviously muted completely in some way). Tried everything I could in alsamixer, and installing PulseAudio didn't manage to get it working either.
However I installed gnome-alsamixer, and ticked a few 'Rec.' check boxes and everything works now as it should! Sorry I can't pin down exactly what switched it on.

    In my iPad mini if I use earphones I can hear from only one side  but the earphones work fine with other devices

    Have you tried different headphones in your iPad mini?
    Check in Settings > General > Accessibility if little slider half way down isn't moved to either side towards "L" or "R".
    If it isn't , try to reboot the device, but it's likely that your audio port isn't working correctly. If so, it should definitely be covered by warranty.

  • Cant hear Siri or any music or typing through speaker but can hear ringer

    Cant hear Siri or any music or typing through speaker but can hear ringer

    There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there. Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
    You might be able to get it out by connecting the headphones 5-10x or spraying compressed air into the jack.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

  • How come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?

    how come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?

    Hi,
    Several possibles.
    1) The Mic (or Audio) item in the Video Menu is Off (unticked)
    2) The Selection in  App (iChat or Messages) menu > Preferences > Video section > Microphone Drop down  is not pointing to a Mic that is active.
    3) The Mic selection in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab is not the same device in the app and/or the volume is not set high enough.
    In System Preferences > Sound > Input tab the blue response bar must get to at least halfway (preferably 3/4s) but not bang in to the right hand end.
    The Mic should be the one select in the app itself.
    IF you are using a headset then change both the System Preferences > Sound > Input to anything else but the headset mic.
    Then do the same if the app.
    Then go back to the System Preferences and "Set" that "First" and then do the App "Second"
    Repeat the same process for the output options in both places.

    My speaker is broken.... But my microphone works except my speaker but you can hear music out of it but you have to put it really close to your ear.... How do I fix it????

    You don't - you check your warranty status and have apple replace it for you. make sure you restore the phone as new first (after making a backup, of course) to see if the speaker works then. this isolates the issue to either your hardware or your software. if it's still happening after a restore as new through itunes, it means it's hardware that's the problem and apple will fix it for you

  • I do not see the user interface for the Logic software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but I cannot see them to adjust parameters. Please advise.

    I do not see the user interface for the Logic Pro software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but cannot see them to adjust the parameters. Please advise.

    Couple of things - you can open the interface for any instrument or plug-in by double-clicking its insert slot on the channel strip. You can configure Logic to automatically open the interface for a plug-in when you first instantiate it in the preferences. Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > Mixer, and check the box for "Open plug-in window on insertion".

  • No audio when recording and no one can hear me when using speaker?

    Whenever I take videos now, there's no audio it's just this buzzing noise. Kind of like white noise. I used to take videos on my phone all the time and it would work. I'm not sure how to fix this. Also, I can't use my speaker phone. I can hear people talk on it but they never hear me. That issue started one month after I got the phone. I've had it about 8 months now. Anyone know of any fixes?

    Does the Voice Memos app work? It has a VU meter so you can see if the mic is working.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    Hi. I have the Apple connector kit...and actually played Garageband via my M-Audio Oxygen 25-keyboard thru  my iPad2--without a powered hub. 
    But that was two month ago.
      Now...I can't get it to play--with volume.   I can hear the notes...but faintly.  And I have pushed ALL possible volume controls up (Keyboard & iPad). 
      I know the keyboard is triggering, because I tested it on a MacBook: got full volume, just like before.
      But just can't get full volume from the iPad2.  I got a 4-port USB hub...and tried interfacing it between the keyboard and the connector kit/iPad2.  But still no volume.  It's almost like a switch is off in the iPad???
      Any help would be appreciated.  Dan

    hello again,
    i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
    one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
    "Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
    by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
    i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
    are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
    also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
    cheers, stephen.

  • Now signed up for Icloud - bought song through Itunes but cant find folder for this on Imac!!!

    Now signed up for Icloud - bought song through Itunes but cant find folder on Imac pc - is this correct - this is my first ever apple pc and not sure about folders etc - very different from Windows 7 which I was using

    In the absence of any replies, I'd forgotten that I'd posted here, but I did manage to sort out the problem eventually.
    I forget all the steps involved, and possibly some which may be pertinent, but in essence somewhere in the iCloud signup procedure I'd clicked something that told Address Book to upload to the Cloud, and otherwise remain invisible on the Mac.  Tinkering with the Address Book preference settings eventually restored the Contacts list to my iPhone.

  • Can hear audio in a track, but can't see it?!

    I've been doing vocal takes in logic, and now in a track earlier on in the song I can hear a later vocal take, but can't see it?
    It's not doubled up on a hidden track, i've checked that, if I mute the track, it gets rid of the vocal too.
    Anyone have any idea what that could be?
    Image of what's happening is here: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y125/bodyrock666/general/logic-phantom-audio.jp g
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    When more than one audio region gets played through the same track, there is a hierarchy:
    Top region gets played, and in the case of multiple arrange tracks, the top one gets played. All other regions do not play.
    This is why, if you do not want to listen to a region when using this method, you should mut the REGION. Not the arrange track.
    Cheers
