Creative Fatal1ty Mic Not Working

Hey guys, Ive just recently bought a new headset (the creative fatal1ty gaming headset) and the speakers work fine, but the microphone just isnt working. It being detected, it just not picking up sound. My sound card is the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi running on Windows 64-bit. I have all the obvious things done correctly, the mic is plugged into the correct jack, the mic is not muted, the mics sound is at 100, and I have the latest drivers for my sound card. Any one have any suggestions, Ive really run out of ideas after fooling with this for a few hours.

I'm having the same problem , my pc detects the mic but no sound is being emited from it.
I'm using an realtek high definition audio onboard sound card.(other mics have worked fine on this card)
I have the none USB version , and i double checked to make sure the mic is properly
inserted in the headset and PC, (the line on the removeable mic lines up with the groove in the headset)
Can someone from creative please help??\
F it , i'll just get refund from where i bought it...

  • IPhone 2G voice mic not working

    Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….

    I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
    I just had Apple take a look at it.
    They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
    Didn't work.
    Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one.

  • Both internal and USB mics not working

    Hi there, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Starting last night, I have been having issues with microphone use on my iBook G4. Neither the internal mic nor my USB headset mic (Altec Lansing AHS302USB) are accepting input.
    The internal mic's failure doesn't surprise me, as I have heard about the delicate nature of the wire connecting the internal mic from its position on the display down to the main computer. It's the USB mic that confuses me, since USB mics are what everyone seems to recommend that people use when the internal mic is on the fritz (thanks to other mics not working with Mac due to the line-in thing). Also there is the fact that I have used this headset with this computer for over a year with no significant issues until now, with both mics simultaneously failing.
    There doesn't seem to be a problem with the headset's wires; I am still able to hear audio through the headphones quite well, and when I load my audio recording program (Audio In) and Sound Preferences, I can see the occasional blip of sound recognition when I move the USB adapter portion around in the port. These blips even occur when the pink microphone jack and headphones jack are unplugged from the adapter, so this suggests to me that the problem lies not with the wires, but somewhere in the USB adapter, port, or the computer itself.
    I'm leaning toward the computer itself, since it just seems odd that both mics would just happen to stop working at the same time. That and the fact that audio output still works through the headset, and the USB ports work fine for other USB devices such as my external drive and iPod.
    I have tried restarting, resetting the PRAM, and repairing permissions with Disk Utility. Nothing's working so far.
    Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong?
    For reference's sake, I took a recording of the sound that results from jiggling the USB headset adapter in the port. It's very quiet, so you may need to turn up the volume a little bit to hear it. Again, these are the ONLY sounds that the mic is able to pick up currently.

    Just to chime in here - I wonder if it's down to the software: I've recently updated to 10.4.10, and the internal mic seems to have stopped working.
    One positive effect of the change to 10.4.10 is that my Griffin iMic no longer flips to 8-bit, 22khz recording when I plug it in.
    Having said that, I really like to get my internal mic back up and running again.

  • Ipod mic not working

    My Ipod 5th Gen mic not working

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
      - Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Internal mic not working after updating to 10.10.1

    After updating to 10.10.1 (from 10.10) on my MacBook pro 2010 (15” screen) the internal mic is not working when using FaceTime (or Skype) and so the person on the other end of the video/audio call is unable to hear me. On my end there is a static/crackly sound during FaceTime (or Skype) connecting  since the update which I believe is related to the mic problem (no sound input on Mac during FaceTime/Skype).
    HELP!!!

    I had exactly this same issue and and this workaround from Paul on another thread (Internal Mic not working for phone calls in Yosemite ) solved it :
    Make sure FaceTime App is not running
    Open Terminal
    type sudo killall coreaudiod
    Press Return

    Then I think it is software Issuebut,
    When I detected the issue software version was 4.3.3, And Then I updated software to 4.3.4. Still the issue remains.
    I tried several time restarting. No advantage
    After all I deleted all my content by resetting from phone and iTunes, bothways.
    Now my phone content looks like new iPhone and software is 4.3.4 and
    Still the MIC not working only on a phone call
    Unbelievable.
    I went to more than 3 apple dealers in Dubai, like istore,protech.. All they refused service for iPhone.
    They dont have service for iPhone, but they selling and are autherized reseller,
    My phone still under warranty.

  • X220 Internal Mic not working

    I had just get a new X220 in recent days.
    And I found the internal mic not working, I can not record any sound through Sound Record or Skype.
    I had tried all the following methods, but the mic still can not working. Anyone cound give me some suggestion ?
    1) update sound card driver to 8.32.23.2
    2) Fn+F6,  change between "only my voice" or "Multiple voice"
    4) UnInstall source card driver and use microsoft generic driver
    3) The method in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-internal-mic-problem/td-p/435551/page/..., operate like :
       Start -> control Panel -> Sound
    Click on the "Recording" tab
    Click Internal Microphone to highlight it
    Click Properties
    Click the "Advanced" tab
    Uncheck "Enable audio enhancements"
    Finally, click the "Levels" tab and turn Microphone Boost to 0dB. (if you don't do this the noise will be even louder than before).
    Click apply.

    hey kitewind,
    welcome to the forums and since you have tested the microphone using microsoft generic drivers and i'm guessing it did not work; therefore the best action for you right now is to contact our tech support group via

  • EMU 0404 - audio technica ADG1 mic not working

    Have a E-MU 0404, Windows 7 64 bit. Headphones and audio outs working fine. Need help with mic issue. Mic not working with this headset or my other ones. Mic input ports working, as I tested with a traditional mic with phantom power on. The headset mics do work, tested them with computer inputs.
    Also bought and tried a mic preamp with no luck when plugging in the headset mic.
    Why won't the 0404 pick up my gaming headphone mics, and what can I do to fix this?
    Thank you in advance.

    the order is an issue, and whether or not they should be checked..
    Hmm... you shouln't use those ASIO drivers which are installed by Cubase installer (ASIO MME / ASIO DirectX).
    Since I don't know the version of Cubase you're using (a bit different device setup system in each version), I can only suggest you to select the "ASIO E-MU 0x0x | USB" driver (device setup) and then set up the I/Os and MIDI ports. You'll find information on how to do it by reading bundled Cubase guides (paper or PDF) ... if you don't have these guides, you'll get all downloaded from Steinberg's site:

  • Problem posted for the third time! PLZ HELP! Mic not working! :)

    Hey all!
    My Microphone isn't working. Im useing the onboard Live 24-Bit. To this I have at 7.1 Creative Inspire TD7700 with the external decoder, connected. Im useing the Optical cable, if that have anything to do with this.
    When I connect my micrphone, I cant use it at the same time that I play sounds. The difference is when I use the "Digital Output Only" function in the mixer. Here is what it does:
    When DOO is on: I can play and hear all sounds, but my microphone is not working at all.
    When DOO is off: I can record with the micrphone, no problem. I can create and record pretty good wave-files. But I can't hear anything.
    A thin I could do is to turn DOO off, record af wave, turn DOO on, and play the file. -But how cool is that?
    Besides, the primary reason that I got the mic, is that I play alot of World of Warcraft. And I want to use TeamTalk.
    Therefore, isn't there a way to get both things at once, just like "in the good old days"?      Plz help!

    Thana, the mods/admins are on strike...just bump this question if they stop their strike...
