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.

MacBook won't recognize headphone microphone

I can't get my Macbook to recognize the microphone built into my Apple earbuds or my Urbanears Plattan headphones. What can I do to make it work?
Help me Apple Support! You're my only hope!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I can't remember if that setting is stored in PRAM but resetting it won't hurt and might fix it.
Hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

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.

Captivate won't recognize microphone

I have a working microphone plugged in my laptop. It works
with other programs, but Captivate tells me there is not a
microphone plugged in.
It all will not connect to the Internet automatically when
trying to use help.

Hi Rick, adobe is such a big company that it must not
necessarily be the developer who is reading the forum to see if
there are complaints ..
I have never heard of the wish form and I always thought that
there is some communication between forum and company ...
Anyway ... thanks for the info about the wish form ... so I
will know this the next time ... definitely not easy to find
without some insider knowledge ..

IMac won't recognize external microphone through 4-pin splitter

I recently purchased a Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 headset with separate audio output/input jacks, so I planned ahead and purchased a "splitter" adapter to get it to work with my Late 2012 27" iMac's 3.5mm combo jack. According to different accounts, it should have worked. But it doesn't.
With the splitter, the audio output works fine, but the microphone isn't appearing in the Sounds system preference pane (I tried my iPhone's Earpods and its microphone is recognized). I've tried all the usual suspects, resetting both the computer and the PRAM, and tried all the tricks that got it to work with other people- muting the mic, plugging in the inputs before plugging the splitter into my iMac, I even tried the MIDI setup and stared at it like a five year old.
Am I missing something? It seems to work for other people with the same headset and splitter. I'd like to exhaust all my options before forking over $40 for a Griffin iMic. Thanks.

Is yours a Rev. A or B iMac??
Not sure if this will work but try this, shut down and power down everything, detach all external peripherals you have (FW and USB, all the hubs, iPod etc etc) even the ethernet cable, pull out the main power cord too, let the iMac "rest" at least 15 mins, then attached back the main power cord.
Now plug in your FW drive and then start up the mac to see if your ext. HD mounts
Cheers

Twist won't recognize external microphone

This is a new problem. I do have an adapter and it has been working fine until a couple weeks ago. Even when I plut the external mic in now, the laptop continues to take its input through the built-in microphone. I really need to use the external capability. I've updated the audio driver. I have also updated the laptop to Windows 8.1. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I actually tried using the pickups on my acoustic electric guitar, which has a small pre-amp, equalizer, and volume control.
As I said, I could clearly see in the Mac OS setup section that the audio was getting through, it's just that garage band insists on using the built in microphone instead, even when I've configured line-in as my mic source.
So, does anybody else have any ideas?
Has anybody had this problem too?
Please let me know.
Cheers.

Captivate doesn't recognize my USB microphone

Hi there,
I'm using Vista (32) with Captivate CS4. I have USB microphone (Sennheiser PC-166) that works beautifully with other applications, but I can't get Captivate to recognize it. When I configure settings...Captivate hears my default PC microphone, but is stone deaf when it comes to the USB mic. I've reinstalled Captivate. I've downloaded updates. But nothing works. Any ideas?

FMLE won't recognize audio drivers.

My FMLE will only recognize my microphone as a potential audio input source, and won't recognize RealTek Audio at all. In the dropdown menu, the only option is for the microphone.
Is this a bug, or something I can fix?

OK. OS Flavor means: Is it Win7 Home Basic or Win7 Professional or Win7 Starter Edition
m/c: machine details like Core2 Duo with 4 GB RAM...
For RealTek Audio driver: check their website for WIn7 release driver.

ITunes won't recognize iPod Nano (1GB, 1st generation)

I have been having problems Sync'ing my iPod nano with iTunes, however, the more I read help articles and follow the steps, the worse the problem gets. (I'm on a PC using Windows XP)
I've gotten to the point where I updated my iPod software in Disk mode (up until then it was being recognized only in Disk mode), but when iTunes failed to recognize it when not in Disk mode I preceded to restore my iPod to factory settings, as instructed in the help articles.
Now, up until then, I still had music in my iPod, and I was being able to charge it and listen to my music even though I couldn't sync the iPod anymore. After restoring, I not only lost my music (which I was aware of), but it STILL did not fix my problem. So I started to get annoyed.
I then noticed that my iPod was being recognized by My Computer, just not by iTunes, so I began to perform the steps indicated in the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
I restarted my iPod service - no luck
I removed iTunes - no luck
I emptied my Temp directory and restarted...
That's when iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod altogether, not even in Disk mode. Not only that, but it seems to have affected the iPod itself, since it won't turn off or exit Disk mode anymore. So now I'm scared of going though with any more steps on whichever "help" articles and making the problem even worse than it already is (if that's possible).
The only other information I can provide is that windows is still recognizing my iPod, no problem, and when I connect my iPod, iTunes actually launches... but DOESN'T recognize a thing. So I ran a diagnostics using iTunes and here's what I got (iPod diagnostics):
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

Connected Device Information:
IPOD (H:\), iPod nano running firmware version 1.3.1
All green lights, and as you can see, according to iTunes, NO PROBLEM! Except that it won't recognize the iPod that the disgnistics says exists and reads... ?!?!?!
If anyone could shed some light on my situation, i would be VERY greatful!

My IPod Nano will charge when connected to my computer but it won't come up on My Computer or iTunes. So I can't update the songs. I've already tried reseting the iPod. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.

I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my PC, Window 8 and now it won't recognize my iPhone 4. The device never shows in the menu bar

I just upgraded to 11.1.4.62 and now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone 4. The device never shows in the menu bar

Adobe won't recognize that I uninstalled CS on old computer, won't let me activate on new computer

Adobe won't recognize that I uninstalled CS on my old computer, won't let me activate it on new computer.

Yes, uninstalling is not the same as deactivating. Call support to reset activations.

Please Help - My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic

My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic 80gb. I try doing the trouble shooting steps on apple, but they still did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to add some newer music to my old iPod for listening in the car or when travelling. Thanks a lot.

Hello dmbnewfie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPod classic is not being recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer. I know you have tried some troubleshooting on the Apple website as well, but without knowing which steps you have completed, I would suggest working through the attached iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant.

Have a great day,
Joe

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!
