Creative Webcam Live -- camera works, microphone does not

Any advices from the gurus in charge? Thanks.

I had the same problem and this is how I remedied it:
START/CONTROL PANEL/SOUND, SPEECH/SOUND&AUDIO DEVICES
AUDIO/SOUND RECORDING
Check the DEFAULT DEVICE to be sure it is your sound card.
VOLUME .. click on it and this will bring up a list of the sound devices.
CLICK ON MICROPHONE
APPLY
This SHOULD do it.
If not I will give you double your money back that you paid me for the advice. :smileyvery-happy:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My Creative Fatality Headset, the microphone does not work!! please help

Hi..
I just received my Creative Fatality Gaming Headset last night, it's not the USB, so it's the straight plug in..And my microphone does not seem to be working, it is detected by my computer as "working" but I can't hear $hit to tell you the truth..I called Tech service a couple times and it was , i notice that a lot of people seem to be sharing the same issue, any help? It would be awesome to get my microphone working. Thanks

Hey mate.
Could you please say what soundcard you're using?

[XP64] Microphone does not work in WinXP 64

Hi,In Windows XP 64bit my microphone does not work, tried it in Ventrilo 2., Skype and even in the Windows Recorder. The computer don't detect any sound. Offcourse?I have selected the microphone in the recordering section in the Windows volume panel and the volume at maxium. Also in the volume panel under playback the microphone is not mute, set to max volume. I have also installed WinXP 32bits and here it works OK with exactly the same settings. Thats why I think it is because of my Soundcard driver, I have installed the latest driver from this site. I have a SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatality. Is there anyone with a X-Fi soundcard with the same problem or anyone where the microphone works in WinXP 64bit's Or is it a known problem?Please help me

Hi Theicewarrior,?Creative support has been aware of this issue for quite some time (6+ months, maybe even a year). The 4GB+?RAM driver/addressing issues are not a priority or they would have been addressed quite some time ago.
Presumably this is due to functional Vista drivers for the masses being a higher priority than the relati'vely few of us with 4GB+ RAM and an X-Fi.
While the X-Fi?is a great card, my only wish was that the vendor was forthright about this product not functioning with certain configurations. It is my feeling that?making an effort to help?customers choose?products that will work with their configurations would result in satisfied and repeat customers?and a better bottom line?as opposed to?eeking a few extra dollars out of a slightly larger customer base and?who are then left unsatisfied with a product and unwilling to buy a company's products in the future.Message Edited by Foddan on 07-9-20070:45 AM

Microphone does not work in Facetime

Hi
I read other posts and in Maverik I didn't find simmilar problem, for most people their microphone does not work after few minutes, but in my case, microphone does not work at all in Facetime, so I can hear the other end, but they can not hear me! This happened after updating Mavericks.
My Mac specs:
Macbook Pro 2013
OSx 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
things I already tested:
I tried to use headphone and without headphone, but it didn't make any difference
Microphone works fine in Skype and other softwares (Audacity, YahooMessenger, etc.)
Tried with WiFi and with Ethernet cable
Internet speed is 2.3MBps
Router's firewall does not have any restriction for certain ports
Tried turning facetime Off and On
Tried to call iPhone 5s, iPad2 and MacBook Pro each in different network and different countries!
... and finally searching internet for hours (which obviously came up with nothing)
I'll be thankful if somebody help me through, all suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate to post.

Same issue here....
8-core Mac Pro, Lion, Original External iSight camera connected via FireWire 400 through the FireWire jack on the 23" Apple Cinema Display.
Audio and video work fine using iChat and making video clips through any/all apps.
However, using FaceTime.....incoming audio and video are fine, outgoing video is fine, but outgoing audio is missing. Nobady can hear me.
Sorry guys...you can't doll this one up or spin it in any other direction......it's a bug pure and simple.
Feel free to fix it whilst you're dealing with all the other problems that Lion has.

My microphone does not work on calls on my iPhone 4

Don't ask me what has happened and I have been through all of the troubleshooting that I can on my own.
I have no clue how to get a hold of a LIVE AT&T person or APPLE person.
The problem is my microphone does not work when I use the telephone, whether I make the call or someone calls me. It is NOT the MUTE button. And yes, I have already rebooted my iPhone about 5 times now. Has not fixed it either.
But the microphone DOES work as I was able to record a new voicemail greeting to let people know my phone isn't working.
So, they could call me all day long but they won't hear me, so who do I call using my landline (thankfully I kept it).
It is the day after Thanksgiving and I would be a fool to head over to the Apple Store or the AT&T Store....
Thank-you,
Marcia

Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
Take a look at this Apple document for more information -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

Microphone does not work after restarting computer

I just received the Creative Xmod soundcard yesterday after using an Icemat siberia usb headset sound card for a couple months. The sound is a lot better with the creative soundcard however, if I restart my computer and go back into ventrilo, my microphone does not work. It doesnt make any sound when I talk into it (almost as if it muted itself) but it hasnt. I check my sound settings and everything is the way it should be.....but the mic isnt producing any sound. It is not my headphones that is causing the problem because I have never had this problem with my old icemat soundcard. I am currently using :
Sennheiser PC350 headset
Windows XP Home Edition
The newest version of Ventrilo

http://picsend.net/images/240403ventsetup.JPG
That is how I have ventrilo setup. A friend of mine said I should Mux set to Record Control, but it only gives me the option for Wave In =/

Bought iphone4 and the microphone does not work only if we use in speak mode. How is it possible to fix

I bought two iphone4 in Miami and one of them appared a problem that the microphone does not work in normal call only if i use the speak mode. I am living in Manaus - Amazonas - Brazil and we do not have an apple store to complain it.
Question.
How is it possible to fix this problem ?
Maria Filomena Kimura

Unfortunately, the warranty is NOT international. You will have to send the defective phone to someone in the U.S. and ask them to take it into the Apple Store for replacement, then have them ship it back to you. Apple will not accept the International shipment, nor will they ship a replacement phone out of the country where it has warranty coverage.
There are 4 carriers in Brazil who sell the iPhone, including one which sells it completely unlocked. You probably would have been better off to purchase them there if that's where you live.

The capture section seems to be ok.. However when I am using skype,
the people I call only hear a noise and nothing else. I confirmed that with
skype call testing service..
Moreover, the levels of the mixer are ok and nothing is muted.
Finally, the mic itself works fine, I dual boot with XP and I didn't have
any problems with skype there..
Please let me know what other information you need..
Many thanks in advance.

If you are using alsa, then remember to go into alsamixer and turn up your microphone volumes and set a device as the capture device.
Basically, go to the capture pane (F4), navigate to the capture device you want to use, and press Space to toggle it on.
First of all, I'm so sorry for the late reply.. I didn't have access to a pc for a long time.
And actually your suggestion did the job! I don't believe it was something that simple,
I spent hours googling around and trying all sorts of stuff..
Thanks a lot!!!

My camera is working but does not work on skype how do I turn the camera on for Skype

My camer is working but does not work on skype how do I turn the camera on.

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Recently installed Windows 7 on Pavilion dv6748us - internal microphone does not work

Hi,

I have been searching the web extensively, without success, to find how to resolve this issue.
I recently installed Windows 7, 32 bit, on my wife's HP Pavilion dv6748us laptop. Now her internal microphone does not work.
Have gotten some "roadside" advice to use a Windows Vista driver; Have no idea what the driver is or how to get it.
Have found some information about uninstalling realtek audio driver and reinstalling an older version; Have no idea on this one either.
Would really appreciate a definitive answer with a positive result.
Thanks for all help.
The drivers for the laptop are located here. select Vista and Driver-audio. The Vista driver should work. You can uninstall the driver from within the Device manager. Start --> type devmgmt.msc and the device manager will open. Locate the HD audio device and right-click it and update the driver.
After that is done go to Control Panel and Sound and the recording tab up top. Check to see if the microphone is grayed out. (not grayed out means driver is properly installed). The microphone should also have a green checkmark next to it. It is now a matter of selecting the microphone then selecting Properties to enable the microphone and then test and adjust the input level. Look at the tabs (listen,levels and advanced).
Had you considered trying Windows update or the Realtec website as a drivers source?

Hi:
Looking at your system information you could have one of two possible audio cards:
Conexant HD audio or the RealTek HD Audio
The fact that you couldn't install the RealTek HD audio driver indicates to me that you don't have a RealTek audio card. Check your device manager and look at your sound card and check to make sure which audio card you have.
Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Conexant audio card:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Realtek audio card:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
If you in fact have the Realtek audio card, I would download and install the latest, greatest HD driver directly from the RealTek site:
Accept the agreement, download and install the first one on the list. Maybe it has been updated to fix the issue you are experiencing.

My video camera on iPad2 does not work

My video camera on iPad2 does not work after installing ios7. Anyone else have the same issue? Photos can be taken but not video. Odd.

You shouldn't feel stupid, rather I think Apple should feel stupid. I swear I used to be able to simply select "Video" in the previous IOS version (rather than swipe). What value is there in having to have everyone relearn how to use their iPad?

My microphone does not work. pavillion dv7-1129wm running windos7

Please friends I need help my microphone does not work since installing windos 7, andreinstalled the sound and nothing and download the codes and nothing, not what else to do .... I need your help thanks.

I don't know if this is related: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2160988&tstart=660]
It's a Skype problem. The program automatically selects the DIGITAL input. You need to change it to the RealTex internal microphone.
From Skype, go into Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings and make sure the microphone is selected instead of the digital input.
I think it would also help to verify the microphone is working at all. I don't have experience with external microphones so you'll have to wait for other suggestions as to that, unless you can do it yourself.
