HDX-16 -Windows Vista- in-built microphone not working

Hi,
I have a HP HDX-16 laptop. 
Suddenly the in-built microphone stopped working. Its a IDT High definition audio CODEC. When i open the control panel it says its working but when i open the properties ; under 'Jack Information' it says ' No jack information available'.
A external microphone works just fine.
I tried updating/re-installing the drivers. No help.
I recently got it repaire for a screen problem from a local repair shop. 

Hello HpProbs,

Good luck!

  • Windows Vista and iTunes does not work

    First Time sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany and my English is not the best.
    I have the new Windows Vista but iTunes does not work good.
    And I have to use it, to manage my music on my iPod.
    When there will be a Vista compatibles Version of iTunes??
    And when will come an 64-Bit Version?
    Thanks for Help,
    Karsten

    iTunes running under VISTA does not recognize media burned by iTunes Backup (v7.0.2) from a non-Vista machine.
    The original machine recognizes the media just fine, but the new VISTA machine does not recognize the dvd at all.
    Anyone else having a problem with VISTA recognizing burnt media?

  • In built microphone not working.

    Hi - I have an iMac OS X Version 10.6.8 bought in April 2008.  I'm attempting to record a voice over in iMovie - however the inbuilt microphone isn't working (it doesn't work with Skype as well)  Is there any way to do a diagnostic test? Thanks

    Hi, I am using PulseAudio, so I installed Pavucontrol. The microphone is not muted and the meter doesn't bounce
    Thanks anyway!

  • Vista x64 and Microphone not work

    Hi folks,I've installed and am running Vista x64 and the sound is working fine but the mic is misbehaving. In the 'Speakers Properties', 'Levels' tab, I have the microphone set to 85 and unmuted. This way the microphone works but I get bad feedback and I have to listen to myself droning on through the speakers. I've tried muting & unmuting this but nobody can hear me speaking in Teamspeak. Am I condemned to having to blast my neighbours with feedback or is there a way I can talk through the mic and have my voice come through on Teamspeak instead of coming through my speakers Many thanksPete P.S. System is a 4gig, dual core, Audigy 4Drivers are the latest Vista ones from the creative site.Oh and it all worked fine on XP by the way

    Go to recording properties, select levels and increase mic to 85. Also add 20db boost.go to speaker properties, select levels tab and mute the microphone.....Fixed..

  • My Aspire 5750-6438 built in microphone not working.

    My Aspire 5750-6438 built in microphone not working. My OS is windows 7 64-bit. I have updated all the driver. Built in microphone is not even recognized in the sound setting.

    welly267,
    Go into the device manager and check to see if there is a yellow or red icon next to your built-in microphone. If there is a red one, it's probably disabled, see if you can enable it. If it is yellow, right click to uninstall it, then restart your notebook to see if it installs correct and starts working. Look through these steps if it does start showing up in the sound manager.
    If it does not, you can try to remember when it worked last and try a system restore. If you cannot remember, you might have a hardware problem or can try to perform a recovery as a last resort to see if that solves it.

    Thank you

    ValentinT, welcome to the forum.
    There are no drivers available for Windows 8.  I suggest checking in the Control Panel/Sound/Recording to assure that your microphone is selected.  It seems that the Sound is one area that gets changed when updating to Win 8.1.  At least, this is what happened to me.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>

  • Microphone not working Windows 10

    I have an Asus GL551 series laptop and I just upgraded to Windows 10. I have all updated drivers and I use Realtek HD Audio Manager. My microphone works except when on Skype, which before upgrading I had no issues. The microphone is working but the gain is very low, but my mic works fine on Google Hangouts, and other applications. I was able to fix it by going into control panel-communications-then set communication activity to "do nothing" when it was previously set to "reduce the volume of other sounds by 80%." It worked for a minute, but then the person on the other end couldn't hear me anymore. The settings were still the same from when I changed them. I've tried configuring my microphone, changing the boost, not having Skype automatically adjust microphone settings, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, and Skype. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Internal Microphone not working for L505D-S5983 (PLEASE HELP!)

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get my internal microphone to work. I have enabled it under Sound->Manage Audio Devices
    ->Recording tab. However the green vertical bar does not detect any voice. After setting the Microphone boost to +40dB, it detected some noise (since it has some green light) but I realized it wasn't detecting my voice. Since this did not work, I re-set the Microphone boost to only +10dB.  I only have one internal microphone and no external microphone. 
    I have seen many postings on internal microphones not working on Toshiba laptops but couldn't find a solution to mine. Can someone please help? I think it's about time that Toshiba fix this issue after the countless complaints.
    FM.

    No mentions of reinstalling the sound driver. That sometimes turns on the microphone.

  • USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat

    =USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat?Windows 7, X-fi Fatalty Pro
    I have a webcam with ?a built in microphone (Ps3 eye). ?It is connected by USB. ?The drivers are the CL-Eye drivers; a third party driver set since Sony does not directly support the eye for PC.
    in the windows audio device management, the microphone appears as normal and is set as the default device. ?I can use the windows sound recorder to record me speaking just fine. ?However if I use any other applications it doesn't seem to work at all. ?I can select the device as the default recording device in Starcraft 2 as well as Teamspeak 3 but no sound is detected. ?The USB microphone does not show up as a selectable device in recording options in my Creative Control Panel. ?Disabling the default creative microphone does nothing.
    I think the problem is in that windows can directly detect the microphone and so software that uses the windows audio device manager works fine, but anything that talks directly with my sound card software does not properly detect the microphone. ?Basically, I can select the device as a default device but it does not work.
    Any thoughts on this or am I SOL and have to find myself a shiny new headset?

    I had the same problem. You need to check the device index of your USB mic.
    In my case. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.6 system. I had four devices cataloged. With the last one being the USB mic.
    Then set like so in your AS code audioPub.microphoneManager.micIndex = 3;
    Remember, that the indexing is 0 based.
    The sound framework make the assumption that the index is 0.
    Hope that helps.
