Captivate does not recognize my microphone

Hi there,
Another problem ... i have just reinstalled Captivate to overcome a different issue and this time (when I reinstall I always get something new go wrong) Captivate is not recognising my microphone. It is not showing in the drop down list of Audio Input Devices - in fact there is nothing in there at all. it was working perfectly before. the mike is not the issue either because it's working fine on youtube and for other progs. It's a Logitec ClearChat Comfort mike.
Is there a way I can get Captivate to find my mike? I have spent ALL day trying to get Captivate stable and working on windows 7. Please, please, please try not to suggest reinstalling because it will just end up breaking something else - but if i have to I will.
hope someone can help!
thanks,
C

ok ... problem solved! i worked out that windows had set a preference which limited the microphone to one program. this meant another proggie sort of "owned" my microphone. so, not an adobe issue at all. *drops head in shame because i had been calling Captivate all sorts of nasty names* I clicked that option off, rebooted and yay, it's all back to normal.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Lightroom does not recognize the raw format of files loading from my Nikon AW1 and loads them as jpegs. I know there are updates that would allow this camera to be recognized as shooting raw but I haven't been able to work it out. Any help out there?

    Lightroom does not recognize the raw files (necs?) coming in from my Nikon AW1. It loads them as jpegs. I know it is possible to update Lightroom so it knows my Nikon but I can't get it to work.

  • Captivate won't recognize my microphone

    Captivate doesn't recognize my microphone and therefore I
    can't record my own audio. I downloaded the Captivate updater,
    which is supposed to solve this problem, but Captivate still
    doesn't recognize my microphone.
    I get the following error message:
    "Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device. Please
    check that a microphone or recording device using line in is
    connected proeprly and tured on. Do you want to try again?"
    Yet my microphone works just fine with GoldWave software
    which I have on my computer. I can record with Goldwave, save the
    audio and insert it into Captivate. But I can't record directly in
    Captivate, which is what I want to do.

    Hi there! By all means! Go to
    the
    page at this link
    to download the hot-fix for the Realtek issue. Keep in mind
    that it is known to work with Captivate 2.0 but I'm unsure of its
    help on version 1.0.1 installations.
    Have a good day, All.

  • Lync does not recognize audio device.

    I have a Dell E6540 and Lync (office365) gives a message that it does not recognize an audio device.
    things I have tried
    1) update Bios
    2) update all drivers using Dell command update and Dell drivers update page
    3) delete drivers so that it has to reload them
    4) check microphone settings under sound
    5) make sure power management is not turning the audio device off
    6) plug in external head set (I would prefer if the factory installed microphone worked instead)

    Hi jakesz28,
    Please check if there’s a
    WiDi USB Intel Wireless card is installed.
    If this is the case, open Device Manager then disable the
    Intel UoIP Bus and Host Controller.

  • "Find my iPhone does not recognize New iPhone 5

    I use my AppleID to "Find my iPhone" successfully on iPhone 4, iPhone4S, iPad, iMac. All show up. New iPhone5 iOS 6.0.2 uses same AppleID in the General iCloud settings, Contacts,email,photostream,safari bookmarks,reminders,notes, are all synced fine. I can even see how much storage is available in my iCloud account on the new iPhone5.  The Problem is that "Find my iPhone" does not recognize the new iPhone 5. Yes location services is turned on. The iPhone5 can find its location in the map app, can find all other devices in "Find my iPhone" just not itself in "Find my iPhone" I tried a hard reset.
    ANY IDEAS?

    How about when the passcode is correct but not recognized?
    I was prompted to enter a password to unlock the device when I downloaded IOS 7 several months ago.
    Entered the password every single day for months, never a problem.
    Yesterday I attempted to download the most recent IOS version and I was asked for a passcode before I could do that (my phone was unlocked). Online I found out the passcode is the unlocking password. It did not work and I was unable to use the phone for several minutes after 5 attempts. I just stored the phone and when home I charged it overnight.
    This morning I unlocked the phone as usual  and used it without a problem for emails, phone calls. etc.. Now, after not having used it for a while, I am asked for the passcode to unlock it as usual, and although I am sure I entered the right code, it is not recognized. I am unable to unlock my phone, although I have done it for months.
    This is not a case of forgotten passcode! And I see it has happened to many others that use 4s and 5s iphones.
    i could attempt the iTune connection fix, but it troubles me that all solutions are presented for forgotten pascodes, and in many cases actually the passcodes are not recognized. Which means, it will keep happening unless Apple offers a solution.

  • My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

    My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

    The Photosmart 5510 is AirPrint capable.  You can find that information linked below.  There may be something in the network that is preventing communication.  To use AirPrint your router needs to support Bonjour services.  Run the download below.  It will let you test Bonjour services from your Windows PC.  If this app can't see the printer either, then the router's Bonjour services are off, or it does not support Bonjour.  Let me know what the app finds.  If it can't find the printer, let me know what brand and model router you have, and I'll see if it has Bonjour services at all.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

  • IMovie 6.0.3 does not recognize built in iSight Camera on new iMac

    New iMac, Intel, OS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.
    Built in Camera works with Photo Booth, the new iMovie 7.1.3 and iChat.
    iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 does not recognize the camera. Opening a new project results in a No Camera Connected error. I have tried selecting various options in the video format drop down when creating a new project. I have repaired permissions, tried it under various users, removed the imovie plist, reinstalled imovie (both 6.0.3 and 6.0.4) without success. All 10 of the new computers are exhibiting this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    That is not an option that I can select on the imac's. On my iBook under 10.5.4 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 I can click on the triangle next to the camera icon and select the built in iSight camera. On the new iMacs that does not work. The built in iSight is not listed as an option.

  • MSI x48c platinum does not recognize 2 PCIe boards

    Hello,
    I had the same recycling boot problem as others have noted.
    It occured with the Antec Phantom 500 power supply and the Antec Signature 850.
    Swtiched to a Cool Master Pro 650 and no more recyling boots.
    However, I have 2 PCIe cards that this system board does not recognize in the POST (quick boot disabled) and no new hardware is found under win XP.
    Boards are:
    Black Magic Design Intensity (HDMI board)
    http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/techspecs/
    United Audio UAD-2 Quad (audio DSP)
    http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2neve128/index.html
    Does not matter if they are together, alone or which PCIe slot.
    These bpards are needed for my work.
    anybody else have baords that the x48c can't see?
    These same boards are fine with other motherboards.

    i just remember     i had once similar problem with a sata driver. the issue is this you can not adjust everything in bios in one go and expect mobo to know about it. what i mean is this for instance you disable the raid then you save it and exit and then when it reboot you go back to bios and reset another another parameter,  you save and exit and on reboot you go back to bios and reset another parameter. i got round the prob that way and it worked and mobo saw the sata HDD. give this a shoot good luck and finally make sure raid is disabled
    this is what i would do
    1- make sure the jumper setting on your IDE Hdd is correct (Y may have to try this twice as there are two different setting on jumper setting for Master)
    2- connect the sata HDD
    3-click on power
    4-go to bios and disable raid save exit
    5-on reboot go back to bios
    6--on first option click on it then you should see all devices that can be seen by mobo if you do not see sata HDD you have to click on enable for the auto to see the device once it sees the device save and exit. REMEMBER THE JUMPER SETTING  ON IDE HDD CAN CAUSE PROB . SO try the other jumper setting for master, repeat this procedure once more hopefully you get it right

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
