External microphone in headphone jack on Hp envy 15-j160no ?

Hello! I just bought my Hp envy 15-j160no. I want to use my external microphone for better quality. I have plugged my microphone in to my headphone input(because I have remebered that on this computer the input is working for both headphones and microphone, right?)
But i can't get it to work, my computer only uses the microphone that is built in on the computer instead.
I use an Audyssey that was included when I bought my receiver(Onkyo nr262)
Appreciate help!
Thank you!

Hi,
Please read:
This integrated headphone / microphone port uses a 4 section plug (identified with 3 black / colored rings).
You can plug a standard headphone in, and it should work by itself. A spliter cable may be required to support a stand alone microphone properly.
Please try:
Use a headset or
Use a "Y" adapter that can connect a separate microphone
Hope this helps
Regards.
BH

How to use external microphone in combo jack?

Hello,
My notebook Pavillion 14-V042tx have this combo jack (input/output in one jack).
How can i use my external microphone with this combo jack?
When i inserting the microphone it won't recognize the device, but when the headphone / external speakers are inserted, it's doing fine.
Do i need cable audio splitter like this?
Or are there any settings to enable the external microphone?
Thx before.

exlinko,
If the hardware is working the 8.1 software should detect that the jack was inserted and allow you to listen to (audio -out) on one of the jacks and allow you to input (audio-in) on the other. Also the software should mute the internal mic and speakers. Good luck with M$ 8.1 software.

My mac is not detecting external microphone from headphone

my mac is not detecting external microphone from headphone

If your headphone doesn't work on your mac then I suggest you try this:
1. Is it plugged in properly? Don't try pushing it in hard. Thatis likely to break something
2. Call up Systems => Sounds then select the Output tab. Do you see your headphones as an output option? You should see "Headphones" Headphone Output". If you don't see it then you either have a software or a hardware problem. Don't panic yet
3. Leave the headphone plugged in. Close all your apps and shutdown the mac. Press the power button to restart. Hold down the following 4 keys: ALT CMD P R this could also be OPTION COMMAND P R
The mac screen should go blank and should restart again. When you've logged in, call up SYSTEMS => SOUNDS again. Check if you can see the headphone source this time. If you can't, now is the time to panic. You've reset your PRAM and it hasn't made a difference, so you probably have got a hardware problem.

Recording Microphone through headphone jack?

Simple question:
Can I record audio through the headphone jack on my laptop with this microphone?:
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-20-Unidirectional-Microphone/dp/B00005T39P/ ref=dpreturn2?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics
If not, how do you connect this microphone to your computer to record?
Thanks!

Certainly not through the headphone port!
There's a separate audio line-in, but it's 'true' line-in, meaning it expects line-level (i.e. pre-amplified) input. So, you'd need a powered mic, or instead you might consider a USB mic.

Microphone and headphone jacks on front of PC - not responding with new X-Fi sound c

I recently installed a new X-Fi sound card. I hooked up my speakers into the rear jack on the back of the PC, the spearkers work fine. However, when I plug in my mic and headphones using the two front jacks, I get no sound at all, and my mic does not work. Could anyone explain to me why this is? And how I would go about resolving this? All the rear jacks work fine, but the two front jacks for the mic and phones do not work at all.

Not sure enb4 - you can order an X-Fi card as an option at time of purchase, in which case the front panel connectors?are available. If you?subseuqently install?a new/different card, I'd assuming you can then use the same ribbon cable - the problem is?you can't purchase the cable as an aftermarket accessory. I know the Dell X-Fi card is slightly different from the true Creative original X-Fi, so maybe you're right in that the front panel only works with the Dell installed version - which fortunately you also can't buy as a separate item?as apparently isn't a good unit anyway ?

Extreme Problem with Disconnecting External Microphone and Headphone.

I just got my first Toshiba A355D-S6921 6OCT2009 Display. I can not remove External Head or Mic without a High Pitch Squeal since their is no External Volume control. Fixed only by Powering down the laptop. I could not take my external out to add someone elses. Could cause a person to wreck if your kids were using the computer in your car. What can I do to fix this problem?

That knob is indeed a volume-control dial. It's electronic; so it has no stopping point. Apparently, yours is not working.
Pressing Fn + Esc should mute the volume.

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

Internal and external microphone doesnot working on HP probook 6550b

HP probook 6550b. Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit.
Sound works without any problems but my microphone suddenly stops working today.
Usually i use my internal microphone.
I tried to plug in one of my external microphones to mic jack and it also doesnot working. I check my 2 external microphones on other PC and they both are woking properly.
1) Nothing new was installed today.
2) To fix this i tried to swich in sound properties default device but i dont see any green volume level behind mic images for both.
3) I removed all audio drivers
4) After PC was restarted windows installed default drivers but i still cannot record any sound. (Checked in skype and by green record level indicator in sound properties)
5) Also for default windows drivers i tried to switch my default microphone in 'sound' window settings and also plug in and out my external mics and without results.
Screen shot of windows after default windows drivers was installed:
What it can be?
Thanks.

First question, i would answer yes :
About this mac >Materiel > Audio (intégré) > audio haute définition Intel > microphone interne > connexion interne
Second question :
in system preference > microphone interne is black and not grey.
bars "sound test" near menu "entry level" does not move at all even if I shout...
Third question :
The power supply has been totaly replaced by a new one.
4rth :
Yes, no problem with speakers integrated or with the one of the headset...
On skype : i Hear but can not speak.
(i tested the headset on a PC, it works)

"Squelchy" noise from external speakers plugged into headphone jack

I get a strange, warmly, high pitched static continuous "squelchy" noise from my external powered speakers when I have them plugged in via cable to the headphone jack of my iPad (3rd gen). The noise occurs only with the iPad - the noise is not present with other devices, such as my iPhone 4S, older iPhone 3G, or my Samsung Galaxy or Toshiba Thriven (both Android devices). Also, the noise is present only with external speakers - never with headphones. Doesn't happen with Bluetooth audio.
The pitch of the squelchy noise seems to be related to how much load the iPad processor is under, though I can't say for sure. I honestly have no idea why it's making this noise. I thought it might be a ground loop issue which occurred only when I had external powered speakers plugged in while the iPad was also plugged in, but the noise happens when the iPad is running on battery, as well.
Does anyone have any ideas how I might get rid of this noise?

I don't know if this could be your problem, but...
On some systems the BIOS will sometimes disable the on-board audio controller at startup if it doesn't detect anything connected to the inputs or outputs (older HP computers did this to me ). You usually need to enter the BIOS and permanently enable the On-board Audio by changing the setting from 'Auto Detect' to 'Enabled'.
Hope that helps.

After using external speakers headphone jack no longer works

Hi, i plugged in some external speakers yesterday, the type that have two channel inputs (red and white) from my headphone jack. the speakers didnt seem to work, i thought it was the speakers that were broken, but now nothing will work from the headphone jack. the computer recognises they are there but there is no sound at all apart from slight fuzziness. it is nothing to do with the red light connection as ive had this problem before and its not that this time. i have reset vram and done the SMC reset too, but none of this has worked. the internal speakers work fine. nothing is muted, nothing is unbalanced. i have read everything single thread about similar problems and tried all the solutions i can find. can anyone help!!?? :'.(

Replacing a faceplate on an 83xx device is not a simple operation. It is not meant to be disassembled by the consumer. This is a risk you take of disassembling a working device. You may be able to disassemble and fix but there is no way for us to know whether you can fix it or not.

When external speakers are plugged in to headphone jack, sound randomly goes back to internal speakers or digital audio setting, then back again

I have an essentially new MacBook Pro with Lion and all updates applied, and am wondering if this is a hardware or software problem. Essentially with something plugged into the headphone jack, things work as they are supposed to for a while, then the sound will switch back to internal speakers, or sometimes 'digital out' (I can watch it change in the system settings), and then often switch back. It doesn't seem to follow any sort of pattern or be related to any specific application that could be open, and happens with different sources of audio (iTunes, streaming from the web), and different external speakers or headphones plugged in.

Sounds hardware related. If it's brand new, and you're still under warranty I would have it checked out.
I have not experienced this on my computer.
As I understand it, you have analog RCA outputs from an 1/8" to left and right RCA outputs. when you're randomly using the computer, it'll switch to internal speakers, then to digital audio, back to your stereo analog external speakers.
This should not be happening and if it's happening with streaming content (I am unaware of anything that streams in 5.1 digital audio) then this must be something that an apple specialist should look at and consider.
Does this happen with the headphone jack out? when you hold your finger over the headphone jack area does a red beam come out of it *blinking* or just on? This will be a good indicator that your audio hardware is faulty. are you running HDMI out?

External headphone jack not working correctly

I bought a new MBP before Christmas and am now having an intermittent problem with the headphone jack. I have external speakers plugged into the headphone jack. They've been working great. Yesterday, they stopped working and the speakers in my external display started working. I unplugged, replugged, the external speakers with no result. I checked the sound tab in system preferences but the external speakers don't show up. Earlier today the external speakers started working again. I had some weird switching of audio from left to right channel in the speakers and then again they turned off. I try the external speakers with my ipod and they work fine. I plugged other external speakers or ipod headphones in the computer and they don't work and aren't recognized in system preferences. Does my computer need a trip to the repair shop already? Note: I also hear occasional "pops" through the external speakers. This never happened with these speakers before. I used to use them with a Windows machine I just replaced. Please help!

I have this same exact problem.
Did the repair solve the problem?
I have a wedding band and used my old MacBook to play music during the band breaks. I haven't used the MacBook Pro yet since I just bought it, but now I'm not so sure I will. I can't only imagine what type of catastrophe it would be if I had a dance floor packed full of people and the MacBook Pro decides to play through the internal speakers only.

Does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? (is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC?

does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? If so, is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC then to stereo?

My suggestion to work around this problem would be to hook up an Airport Express. The AE also has an optical out the same as your iMac. As long as your wireless connection is robust enough you should be able to stream from your iMac to your AE and then have the optical cable connect between your AE and your DAC, which then connects to your Integrated Amp/Receiver/Pre-Amp (depending on your system configuration).
I assume because you are using the optical out and connecting to an external DAC that you are looking for a high level of Audio quality ?
