Disabled built-in mic

Hi. I have a mac mini MC815BZ/A which has a built-in mic, but when I enter on garage band the program says that there are none "integrated MIDI in". Also, all the system doesn`t detect the presence of a integrated mic. But it's not all the problem: when I connect an external mic the system doesn't detect it. Is it possible that the hardware related to sound is broken? Or... Is it possible that the driver isn't working?

BDAqua. Thank you very much for your concern about my problem, but I just solved it! Or better, an Apple technician helped me. It was just a misunderstanding. There is no built-in mic in a mac mini, but an audio-in ("entrada de áudio") and and audio-out ("saída de áudio").
One cannot insert a simple microphone on the audio-in, but a mic with four stripes, like nokia's cellphones:
Once you connect such a phone on the audio-out hole, you'll be able to both listen and speak throught the headset.
After that, my "Applications> Utilities > Audio midi setup" showed a new section called "microfone integrado", i.e. integrated mic:
Hence, I was able to move "principal" to the right.
Besides that, I could not tet skype capturing my voice... But I think it's subject for a new topic.
Thank you very much for your help!

Garageband: disable built-in mic in

Hi,
I have bought the GuitarConnect Cable (http://store.griffintechnology.com/guitar-connect) in an Apple Store, being assured that it works fine with iPhone and Garageband. Unfortunately, the built-in microphone of my iPhone 4 is still active even when the cable is plugged in. That makes it practically useless, since:
1) it records also sounds and noises around
2) it's impossible to use external speakers, 'cos it makes Larsen effect.
I cannot find any option on garageband to turn the built-in mic off, does anybody know how to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance!

Sorted, apparently it was just a matter of low battery on the guitar + the contact not working so well...

E531 - When standard headphones plugged into jack, built-in mic is disabled

Greetings everyone ! Lemme start by saying I genuinely feel guilty when my first ever forum post is about a problem/issue, but apparently it's my curse, lol. Per standard rules, I did search through the Edge listing for a solution to my issue, but no luck. So:
The E531 has one headphone jack, however it's apparently intended use is for headSETS ('phones/mic combo). Currently, my only interest for the port is standard headphones. However, there is an issue: when a pair of standard headphones are plugged in, the built-in mic is disabled so the mic on a headset can be used.
Is there a setting or config change anywhere in the E531 that would allow the built-in mic to be used when standard headphones are plugged in to the headset jack? I've played around with audio settings as far as I dare to. Please, any help would be greatly apreciated.
edit: I'm not sure how my Subject line got completely reworded, but I've changed it to suit my topic. Sorry for the confusion.

There is definitely something strange here. I tried to reproduce your issue and if I plug headphones or headset I can still switch the microphone and speakers under Control Panel>Sound.
Have you got the latest sound card drivers?

Satellite L300-2CL - built in mic stopped working

Hello
When I bought this computer (sep-09) everything was working fine. Then in march (I hade it idle for awhile), my built in mic stopped working.
Everything eles is working fina, and I have scanned the web for solutions, and tried to install new drivers, unistall them, boots everything possible, disabel and rebooting, but at most I just get a static sound from my test recordings.
I am using win 7 home pre, but the issues started when I was using Vista. Now I am out of ideas, and my friends on Skype grows tired of not hearing me.
Is there anything I can do to get the mic work, or should I just buy a headset?
Greatful for help

Hi
Sounds a little bit like an mic hardware issue but you should also check the internal mic settings in control panel -> sound.
There you will see the Recording tab.
Here you should mark the internal mic and should check the properties.
Set all volume controllers to max.
Choose internal mic as standard device.
In Playback tab choose speakers -> properties.
There you will see the level tab. Here you should set the microphone to 100 and should check if its not disabled too.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to activate / deactivate the built in mic?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to activate / deactivate the built in mic?

Ah somewhat confusing. Your question seemed to indicate you were looking for a way to disable the mic, not that it wasn't working with some apps.
Have you tried any of the Apple apps, Garage Band or Dictation? Do they work? If the input volume indicator under the mic in System Preferences is moving in response to your voice then the problem is not that the mic is disabled or muted, the sound is getting into the system.
Does the Input Volume move while you have one of the non-working apps opened? Have you installed any 3rd party sound apps or kernel extensions?
Are the mic settings in Audio MIDI setup 44100.0 HZ and 2ch-24 bit?
I would start by seeing if the mike works with one of the apps I mentioned above or download something like Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder to test it out.

CP-8831 built-in mic

Hi,
I bought the CP-8831 Conference Phone to replace the CP-7937, that use the built-in mic only (No the wireless / wired mic)
I'm using on the small conference room. As the CP-7937, the calling out sound is very clear and the receiver caller hear is good. But it is bad on the CP-8831. Why? The same small conf. rm.
Must I purchase the external mic for CP-8831?
I just searched some doc said the 8831 build in mic provide the 360 degree audio coverage via four built-in mic. Should I disable two built-in mic?

Hi,
Please try the following steps first:
Right click the speaker icon (bottom right),
Select Recording devices
Right click "Internal Microphone Array"
Enable it,
Click Ok/Apply

Having a problem with built in mic in iMac

It seems my built in mic is not working on my iMac 2.7 GHz with Intel Core 15.
I am running OS X 10.9.3
The first option under Audio Devices is
"Built-in Microphone" which is set at 2 in/ 0 out, 44100.0 Hz and 2ch-24 bit Integer
Master volume is all the way to the right, Value = 1 and dB = 12. Mute and Thru are unchecked.
The second option is
"Built-in Input" which is set at 2 in/ 0 out, 48000.0Hz and 2ch-32bit Float, Hardware rate Converter is set to Automatic. Master slider is unavailable, sliders 1 & 2 are all the way to the right both with Value = 1 and dB = 12. Mute and Thru are unchecked.
The speakers are working fine. I noticed the microphone issue when trying to use Facetime, iMovie and GarageBand. During Facetime, I can hear my caller, but they cannot hear me. In GarageBand, I am unable to record vocals. In iMovie, I am unable to record any voiceovers.
I have tried plugging in an iRig mic as well, but it does not work on the iMac, but works fine on my iPad Air.
Can someone Please help me resolve this issue. I am sort of a newbie to Apple desktops. I have googled until I am blue in the face, and everything suggested has not worked for me. Apple support has no answers and I am at a loss. I am begging! ! !
Thank you in advance for any help.

After using apogee duet, mac's built in mic & logic's track headers for recording are not working properly. How do I fix it?

I use logic 9
After using apogee duet for mac, I was away from my home studio without the duet and wanted to record vocals via the internal microphone on my mac book pro. (Obviously, I know it wouldn’t be the same quality. I wanted to do it as a draft, because I had a melody in my head and wanted to record it so I could remember it later.)
After opening up a project I was unable to record audio. I noticed the track headers had changed. Sometimes the “record ready” button was missing. But whether it was there or wasn’t, the same thing kept happening… After pressing the “record button” or the “record ready” button a window would pop up that said, “No input source selected!” I tried to trouble shoot by configuring track header and by going to prefereces>audio>devices>core audio, and switched the “input device” to “built in microphone,” and things like that, but I still would get the same pop up window indicating “no input source selected.” To be thorough, in preferences under “core audio,” I have selected universal track mode, 24 bit recording, and software monitoring.
Do I need to reset something?
If your recommendations help fix the immediate issue temporarily, how do I keep it from reverting back to the same problem if I feel like switching between the duet interface and the built in mic in the future? How do I keep it permanently from this malfunction? It seems like this is something simple that would be addressed.
Also, as I was trying to think of anything it could possibly be. I wonder if it could be the driver I installed for an old m-box2 possibly causing an issue. After getting my new mac book pro, I downloaded a driver for m-box2 (the second generation that came out in 2005 and used pro tools LE.) I used the m-box on my previous computer and it worked well. Since I purchased a new macbook, I tried to use it on my new computer, but since the m-box2 is a 32 bit system, it didn’t work very well, which is why I got the duet. I don’t know if that could possibly be messing anything up. If so, should I uninstall it somehow?
Thanks

Ok, think this through... you've changed from a stereo source to a mono source.
The message reads: “No input source selected!”
On the track you're trying to record there is an Input section directly underneath the I/O label. Click and hold to select the correct Input for that track.
Also, the project you opened was saved with the Duet's driver/interface parameters.. if you open the same project without the audio interface Logic will do it's best to pick I/O that's compatible but I've never seen any DAW do this perfectly.. it always takes a small amount of user input. Especially since you've changed from the Apogee to the internal mic.

The built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out.

the built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out. OS: Windows Vista (32-bit)

here is a sample code .
so far you procedure looks good but
i bet you have to specify the name of report , instead of 'filename'.
see this
Plist_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
IF NOT ID_NULL(Plist_id) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(Plist_id);
END IF;
Plist_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Receive_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Receive_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_time', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_time,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Issue_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Issue_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Workshop_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Workshop_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
-- RUN_PRODCT(REPORTS,'..\Reports\Pro_License',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, Plist_id, NULL);
-- here Pro_License is the name of report.
did you tried to see if the parameter passed using a message ?
try
message('parameter name'); pause; write this before "run_report".

No Sound from built-in mic recording to a basic track

I am not a garageband user in the past so please bear with me.
I want to record from the built-in mic and I did and there was a obvious record patten on the basic track.
BUT No Sound, I thought maybe the file was wrong I then recorded an itunes and the record patten was visible and I even tried raising the record level and the patten got higher. The recording level bars in the basic track were green and when I raised the volume there were occasions that they went red.
However both times No Sound when trying to playback.
I checked the speaker levels and raised them to maximum in both the GB and my computer.
The track volume constantly shows 0.00 dB-
Any thoughts as to why I cannot get the sound to playback.

I got it to work in Guitar track Midi.
I was in real Instrument.
Any reason why there would be a difference that sound plays in Guitar Track and not in Real Instruments ?

Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN besides from the built-in mic?

Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN aside from the built-in mic?
Also, are any special cables needed?
Thanks,
John

Hi
You should be able to check by going to about this mac from the Apple menu. Then click the more info button and then the system report button. Next, click on audio tab to the left. If you don't have an entry for built in input then you probably don't have line-in in your mac. As already mentioned though you should be able to defiantly find out with the model and year.
Hope this helps

Mac Mini I just bought shows no built-in mic. Is there no mic? How does one do dictation?

My new Mac Mini shows no built-in mic. Pls help ,explain.
I'm using a Samsung display, using HDMI connection from Mini to display.

The Mac Mini never came with a mic. Just like Windows desktop only computer do not come with a mic. Frequently computer that include a screen include a mic as well as a camera. Examples would be PC all in one computers. laptops and iMac desktops.
You can use the headphone/mic units designed for phones.
