External mic doesn't work on ipad

Hello,
I tried to make a song with my external mic and with the guitar amp function. For some reason, when I plugged in the mic or guitar, it keeps recording the audio with the internal mic on the ipad itself. How can I solve this problem?
Annie

What connector are you using to hook up the external sources? A simple 1/4" to 3.5mm adaptor won't do. For the Audio Recorder/External Mic combo does GB show the green arrow at the bottom right of the display showing that is going to record from the device connected to the jack?

External Mic Doesn't Work Pavilion dv6

I've been trying to use an external microphone on my HP Pavilion dv6 with no success. Here are my specs:
HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 Product #A1U60AV
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit sp 1
IDT HD Audio Driver ver. 6.10.6381.0
I've tried the the Windows Control Panel sound settings and the Beats Audio Control panel without success.
I've updated the driver and seen no change in behavior.
The laptop seems to recognize that a microphone has been inserted because the Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Recording window "External Mic" icon info goes from "Ready" to "Default Device" when the microphone is inserted but the gray bar never goes green and I'm unable to record any sound.
I've confirmed that the microphone works on another device.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks,

I feel for you.
Exactly the same thing has happened to my MacBook Pro, and it is SOOO annoying.
My external mic has been working perfectly for over 4 months (that's how long I've owned the machine), and by co-incidence after the latest update from Apple (that I ran over the weekend, I've not updated for a while before this), the external microphone when plugged into the audio-in socket has stopped working.
I can't believe that it is co-incidence that so many Mac users are having exactly the same hardware fault at exactly the same time (I've seen a few stories like this around the internet), so by conclusion I'm thinking it's the update potentially causing the fault.
I've re-installed OS-X, and reset everything to ensure it's not a configuration issue. The only thing I can't do is roll back the firmware to the previous version, unless anyone knows how to do that?

IPhone 5 video w/ external mic doesn't work anymore. Why?

Thanks for any help.
We use the iPhone to shoot video for our business. We use an external microphone/s (Audio Technica ATR3350 & AZDEN WM Pro wireless) to shoot the video. An adapter is needed for the audio to be recorded correctly through the headphone jack. We've always used an adapter from KVconnection for the specific purpose of using an external mic.
The above equipment has been used with the 4 & 4S for years - no issues. Audio was always loud and clear.
Now - using the above equipment - the iPhone 5 records audio at approximately 40% of the iPhone 4 & 4S. Basically - the audio recorded when shooting video on an iPhone 5 can barely be heard.
I've done troubleshooting with 3 differnet iPhone 5's & 2 iPhone 4's - all results are the same. KVconnection has done their research - it's not the adapter (I agree).
My question:
Does anyone know what has changed in the iPhone 5 that would cause low audio gain while shooting video with an external mic?
Thanks again for the help.

I've found the same issue. Using the iPhone 5s with the 1/8 adapter cable from kvconnection and an Audio Technica wireless lav mic, the volume is less than desireable and I haven't been able to get it up and higher. Not sure if another mic would help the problem or if that's just the way it is.

Dock Plus Series 3, Mic doesn`t work

As I use Skype a lot, I bought Dock Plus Series 3 to solve the issue with mic jack at Lenovo`s stupid engeneeres "designed" for t420s model. No one profesional pmanufacture produces mic for this kind of jack, and it is always Pain in the Ass to connect external mic to the machine.
Dock Plus Series 3 has normal, industry standard mic jack. I hope it will soleve the issue. But it is not! No one mic doesn`t work if i plug it Dock Plus Series 3. Please advice, how to make it works!
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE !

Hey Baramburum,
I could not find any drivers for your docking station, what I can suggest is that you update your audio drives from the link below and you update your BIOS. If you do the update please remove the old drivers first completely and then install the new ones.
Audio driver: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014918

USB mic doesn't work on MBP?

After reading a ton of threads here on the audio-in issue (the MacBook Pro doesn't accept a mic-level input, only a line-level input) I came to the conclusion I would need either a pre-amp or a USB mic. I chose the latter, thinking it's better to have just 2 pieces of equipment (the laptop and the mic) rather than 3 (laptop, mic, pre-amp). I bought a Nady USB 24M only to find out it's not recording audio either.
So I'm not sure if:
A) the mic doesn't work
B) the line-in input on the laptop doesn't work
C) I have a setting off somewhere
or
D) I misunderstood that a USB mic would work with a laptop
The mic's promotional materials say it "connects directly to any computer with a USB 2.0 input port for easy plug-and-play operation." That's really what I need "easy plug-and-play operation."
I'm trying to record audio in Quicktime using "New Audio Recording." In QT preferences, I've tried both "Built-In Input: Line In" and "C-Media USB Headphone Set." I've tried plugging a mic with phantom power into the line-in (to no avail) and I've tried the USB mic (again nothing). Am I doing something wrong?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 2.4 gHz MacBook Pro and use an Altec Lansing AHS302usb mic for external mic input during online gaming. It is actually a USB 2.0 mic and headphone combination that works in Windows XP via BootCamp and also in Mac OS X. I have successfully used this mic in BootCamp (Windows XP) for gaming in Battlefield 2142. Works fine - no problems at all. Windows and Mac OS both auto configure to use this external mic and headphones automatically when the USB connector is plugged in.

Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2

Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2 and last update achieved

you have to be sure that you have iOS 4.4 on your Apple TV. Apple pulled 4.4 due to problems and hasen't re-released it yet. the only way now is to hook it up to your computer with a micro USB cable and then in iTunes you should see your Apple TV and do a restore and it will then put 4.4 on the Apple TV but it will wipe out all your settings and you will have to do all that over again but mirroring will then work.

A mic doesn't work. Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different. Please, help!

Hello!
The trouble began in Google Hangouts on Air. When I'm in conference room I read that my mic doesn't work. I checked settings, chose "default" one time and my microphone name another time. Both variants don't help. On the right end of an address bar I read this message: "this page has been blocked from accessing your camera and microphone". I clicked it, chose "Allow", after reloading the problem returns. Then I went to Chrome exceptions and allowed my mic on the site.
In Chrome exceptions menu I read this: "Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different". Though I chose "Allow" in Chrome I can't do it Fllash Player. I did all the instructions which are given to solve audio problems, but it didn’t help. I also wanted to allow excess for my mic on “Website Privacy Settings Panel”, but I can’t find https://plus.google.com in the list to allow (attach a screenshot). I’m out of ideas what else to do. Please, help!

Just reinstalled OS 10.6 and updated to 10.6.8 and internal mic doesn't work...

I reinstalled the system to try and fix the DVD player, which was refusing to play most (but not all) my DVD's... the new system didn't fix the DVD problem and now the mic doesn't work either!!??!?!?!
Any ideas?

OK, I don't think I'll be starting that tonight though, might try it later in the week. Thanks very much for the advice, kind of what I expected, just hoped for an easier solution! Mac always seems to go back to "whipe it and start again" - you'd think there'd be some targetted system app testing tool that would help identify probably causes... but there we are, rant over, thanks for the help.

T400 Internal mic doesn't work

brandnew T400, 2 Duo P8700.
The internal mic doesn't work. I tried to use the sound recorder, and there is no voice.
I clicked      control panel->sound-> recording,   then the screen displays the interanl Microphone is working. but when I use the sound recorder, still nothing recorded.
Then I double clicked the internal microphone -> levels, the drag the bar of microphone and microphone boost all to the very right. Still the internal microphone doesnt work.
The speaker is working fine. It is a brandnew laptop.

Good suggestion on removing the driver then clean install the simple driver.
I have been having the same problem with recent new releases of the Conexant Audio Driver for HD on a T500.
Not sure when tech support will get around to fixing the problem. I have tried every combination of Add/Remove, Device Manager Remove, and even Rollback, but the problem persists... The internal microphone gets muted no matter what one does in configuration. You can get playback of audio from CDs and audio files, but the microphone gets disconnected from the system when you install the latest versions.
The following versions will disconnect the internal microphone in T500s:
       v 3.64.10.0
       v 3.64.10.51    (the latest release)
The only stable version appears to be v 3.64.7.0 for T500s.
IBM Lenovo does appear to post previous versions of all Conexant Audio Drivers.
I got lucky, since I keep copies of all previous installs available in order to revert back to a version that is stable.
The suggestion made by this board to install the simple Conexant driver (v 3.53.0.0) is appropriate.
Thanks for the link. I am keeping a copy handy just in case.

Headphones/mic doesn't work on macbook, iPad as mic? plus internet through macbook?

I spent a lot of time trying to set up a wireless network unsuccessfully so now I only have internet through a LAN cable on my macbook. The internal mic is broken on my mac (fixing would cost as much as a new mb). I have a pair of apple headphones + microphone (not the in-ear buds the plain $40 ones) I read elsewhere that only a mic with another power source will work with the macbook, I used to use a USB mic which worked so that backs that up. Any way around that? I'll end up buying another one I'm sure just wondering if there was a quicker fix?
Also, I have an iPad, no internet in my room since I couldn't set up the network, this is probably futile just wondering if anyone knew how I could use it's mic as an external mic for my laptop? Or if there was anyway to get it on internet through bluetooth or something, doubt it but just thought I'd ask!
Thankyou!

Amcon-
You would need an App to do that. I don't think there is one, but you can search the iTunes store.
If there was such an App, it might use the Bluetooth interface to communicate with the Mac.

After updating my mic doesn't work on my iPad 2

I updated the operating system last night so I could use the new Adobe app, then my mic wouldn't work! I read that it happened to a whole lot of other people here too. I tried vacuuming...felt a bit silly, but was despo, then tried my headset, works well if you have your headset with mic on! Hope they sort this!

Really? Where did you read that? I updated my iPad and have updated my iPad every time and update came out, and my mic works just fine.
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all? Did you try resetting the iPad? Did you check to see if Siri is enabled? Did you try resetting all settings?
