Headphone works, microphone doesn't

I have gone through probably 5 pairs of Cyber Acoustic headphones. The first two worked fine, at the beginning and then in relatively short order, the microphone stopped working (due to no mishandling on my part). The company has been quite kind in sending me new pairs to try, but now all the new sets they've sent don't work from the start.I don't have the model number handy, but these retail for about $20, and I bought them off the shelf at a Staples store.
I should add that I can stick a just a simple external microphone into the mic input jack and it works.
I'm wondering if this could possible be an impedance problem and I'm just chasing a wild goose in trying to find a pair of this particular headphone to work. But then why would that be? The same pair that didnt work on the MacBook Pro is working just fine on a Dell PC/Windows.

Yes, as I said in the original question, I have an external microphone (and not just those cheap plastic things that come with computers, but one I paid around $30 for) that works on the MacBook Pro. I should add that when I tried to work it so that I used the cyberacoustic headphones, and this external mic I couldn't get it to work. I should also add that I'm mainly trying to get this to work on Skype (and yes I have had that configured correctly.
I appreciate being pointed to this optical thing, but I've never noticed such an option and I certainly don't see any light anywhere, certainly not at the input. So, not sure how to look into that possibility. But thanks just the same.

Bose Headphone's Microphone doesn't work with my HP Desktop

Hello,
I've recently purchased a HP Pavilion p7-1240, which comes with Beats Audio. I have a Bose Quietcomfort 15 Headphones and there's a microphone attached to it. I plug it in the front audio line and the microphone doesn't seem to work. I've been looking around the audio setting but nothing seems to fix the problem. I use the microphone for my laptop so I know that my headphones are working fine. Can someone please tell me what the problem is?
Thank you in advance!

I know it's a very old post, but for the benefit of everyone... i'll answer it.
Bose QC-15 got 2 cables with it.
To use it as a headset only for your PC (there's no microphone in it)
The other cable with a microphone in it is to be used with Apple products (iPhone for example).
Your PC require 2 connections... 1 to hear the sound (usually the green connector), and 1 for the microphone (usually the pink connector).
If you connect your Apple cable into the green connector, don't expect your computer to hear your voice!
I've heard that with simply a cheap splitter, you can split mic & speaker from your Apple cable, and connect it in your PC. But if i were you, i would contact Bose first... I wouldn't like to blow up a 300$ headset just because of a "I've heard of".

Headphone work speaker doesn't

My speakerphone, music, alarm, and ringer don't work. Speaker plays for a couple seconds then cuts out. Doesn't work 98% of the time. Headphones still work. I tried cleaning out the headphone jack, putting the headphones in and out several times. Nothing. Any ideas?

Hey cmf1184!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot that issue a little further. That article can be found right here:

[SOLVED] Sound output works, microphone doesn't, works in Ubuntu

SOLUTION: While I unmuted everything in ALSA, I missed this step from the ALSA wiki: "In order to record from a device, the device's "capture" switch must be set. To do so, run alsamixer, select your microphone and press space."
What sound card I have:
# From /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/info
name: 92HD93BXX Analog
# From lshw
product: 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0
I've tried:
Setting different models in /etc/modprobe.d/
Blacklisting snd_intel8x0m
Stopping PulseAudio and using ALSA directly
I've unmuted everything using alsamixer.
Sound output always worked regardless of what I tried, the mic never worked.
I'm not sure about the correct model and whether it must be specified in /etc/modprobe.d/. Looking at this list of models there is a STAC92HD83* but no STAC92HD93* (see output above). The laptop is a Dell Latitude E6530.
Interestingly, the mic is working fine in Ubuntu 13.04. Listing the snd-hda-intel parameters on both Ubuntu and Arch, it seems as if Ubuntu does not set a model.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the relevant settings that Ubuntu is using? Anything else I should do?

1. Reset the phone (no data loss): press botht the home and lock buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears
2. Restore the iOS using iTunes, also restoring a backup
3. Restore using iTunes as new, without restoring a backup
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

[SOLVED] Asus 900 : ALSA plays sound, but microphone doesn't work

Hi,
This week I installed Arch Linux (kernel 3.1.8-1-ARCH) on my Asus 900 with HDA Intel Realtek ALC662 rev1 sound card. The wiki and google and existing forum posts have been good for most issues, but I'm stumped on ALSA configuration. So here's my first forum post for advice.
I configured sound OK following advice in the wiki and twiddling settings with alsamixer, through both the internal speaker and through the headphones, but I can't get internal or external microphone to work. I'm testing with:
arecord -d 3 junk.wav
then when I play back via:
aplay junk.wav
there is only soft static (with audible soft clicks at the start and end).
(Other files like /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav play fine.)
alsamixer recognizes and reports my HDA Intel card, Realtek ALC662 rev1.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa has several suggestions of options for the snd-hda-intel module.
Different pages suggest different places, which was confusing until I discovered that they can go in any file in /etc/modprobe.d so I'm putting them in /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf .
I added
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
with no luck.
I have tried various model=XXX parameters (based on many suggestions found googling for Asus 900, alsa, ALC662, etc problems):
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel model=asus
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
options snd-hda-intel model=ref
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode1
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode2
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode8
and I do
rmomd snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel
after each modification, which makes a little click in the speakers as the module is restarted.
I don't know what the differences between asus-mode1, asus-mode2 etc are supposed to be - I've failed to find clear documentation about them, but AFAIK they seem to be the only valid model choices, unlike stuff like laptop, asus, etc.
I find asus-mod1 etc at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/ … _realtek.c and various other webpages.
I found they vary the items presented by alsamixer but none of the 8 asus-modeN values helped me get the mic working. (The only obvious change was asus-mode8 made my headphone stop working, unlike asus-mod1 through asus-mod7.)
I looked at /var/log/kernel.log when doing the snd-hda-intel module reload for various values of model= and they all look similar to this:
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A disabled
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64
hda_code: ALC662 rev1: BIOS auto-probing
input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input24
input: HDA Intel Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input25
input: HDA Intel Headphone as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input26
(Note the emphasized line about BIOS auto-probing only comes up when not using model= or when trying various suggested model values that don't seem to be actually defined for ALC662, e.g. stuff like model=asus, etc.)
Here's a list of alsamixer settings I used for various models. (Note I also tried muting and raising various higher boost levels, and when there's an Internal Mic or F-Mic item I tried various combinations. The following are just what seem the most plausible settings to me.)

Hello,
I don't have your soundcard but maybe the following information is helpful, though:
Install the linux-docs package, then you have some information about your soundcard drivers in "/usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/sound/alsa/". Exspecially "HD-Audio.txt" and "HD-Audio-Models.txt" might be important. In the Models file it is stated that just the "asus-mode*" are legitimate model parameters for your soundcard and in the HD-Autio.txt file it is more or less said that trial and error the modules is the way to go to find the "correct module". Further there is a section
Capture Problems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers.
Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the
mixer correctly. For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture
Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture
Source" or "Input Source" selection. Some devices have "Mic Boost"
volume or switch.
When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio
plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well.
This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in
software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume
control such as digital microphones. Unless really needed, this
should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra
gain nor attenuation. When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM,
this control will have no influence, though.
It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits,
and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset. This is no bug
of the driver.
So check your mixer, here and here are nice tutorials.
Greetings

After upgrading software microphone doesn't work

After upgrading software microphone doesn't work

Dimitrios44-
Have you tried using the microphone with more than one App? One I use is Skype, which is a free App. Once your are registered with Skype, you can use their test server to record and playback several seconds of your audio.
It may just be coincidence that your microphone stopped working after the upgrade. If you show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad. If that is not convenient, search for an Authorized Apple Repair Center near you. There may be one in your city.
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

When I skype, and take videos, my microphone doesn't work. I know it's on but my friends can't hear me. How do I get it to work?

I'm sure you have checked, but make sure your mute button on the keyboard is not on , also check that you haven't touched the space bar during a call as that mutes it.
Check your settings in Skype>Preferences, Audio/Video tab. Here's what mine look like:

TS2634 My iphone headphones with microphone don't work. Any suggestions?

My iphone headphones with microphone have stopped working, and they are under warranty. I am having difficulty getting an answer about what to do from Apple - just got off the phone with them, and they emailed me an article that was of no help at all. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

All, I have this same problem and has just solved it on my iPhone.
I read up on the problem at att.com/esupport and arrived at the link below:
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413495#fbid=ahhj00ALH45
"If your email address is linked to your AT&T Access ID, changing your AT&T Access ID password automatically changes your email password to the same password.
If you use your email address as your AT&T Access ID, changing your email password automatically changes your AT&T Access ID password to the same password."
I have a ATT Uverse (for my internet access) acct and could not log on so I requested for password reset. They sent me temp password and I had to change my password to my Uverse acct. I use my att.net email as the log on for my Uverse acct. Per att instructions above, my Uverse acct is linked to my att.net email, so now my att.net email pw has been changed to the pw for my Uverse acct.
Accordingly, go into your iPhone Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose your Att.net mail acct and change your password. In my case I changed it to the new pw I had set up for my Uverse acct and it works.
Before doing this, I had also added new servers as shown below. The way I see it because your iPhone will try in succession to log on to each server from top to bottom of the list, it's best to add all the mail servers.
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.att.net
outbound.att.net
Please note that I did not have to add "imap.mail.att.net" and my Att.net mail on my iPhone still works.
Hope this helps.

SB X-Fi XtremeGamer - Microphone doesn't work

Hi. Help me solve this stupid problem with microphone. I have been experimenting with all kind of settings in Creative Audio Console, but unfortunately no luck. However I noticed very strange bug, when activating microphone there is some strange annoying noise coming out of the speakers when playing music and it disappears after microphone mute. Ok, then I open MS Sound Recorder and what I see ? this peace of s*** reads signals from wave out instead of the microphone. There is some activity of microphone when enabling +20dB boost, but it is no good to use.
If there is some tricky setting please let me know.
The other thing is that drivers that came on CD with this card don?t even support it. That was quite disappointing. Updating from creative website to SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_09_0007 solved that problem but something tells me that microphone doesn?t work because of driver fault. When will creative write drivers that at least work...
P.S. Have tried 2 different microphones, both of them work well on digital sound recorder.Message Edited by Dirt on -04-20060:03 AM

G I have owned an X-Fi Extreme gamer card for almost 5 years now. I have experienced this issue off and on, ever since I purchased it. The OS did not matter. Over the years, I have found different methods for fixing this. Unfortunately, none of them work every time. As I am not familiar with this card on more than a user level, I can only begin to guess what the cause is. Many times, a simple reboot is all that is needed. I have a labrador retriever who is insatiably curious about the taste of the various electronic devices that I own. Consequently, over the years, I have purchased, used, and replaced a wide variety of microphones and headsets. My sound card is connected to a?seven?year old set of Creative 5. speakers which might be my oldest and longest lasting piece of PC hardware.
Try removing the microphone plug from the input jack and disabling your sound card in the?windows?hardware manager. Reboot your computer and insert the?microphone plug back into input jack on the sound card. Then re-enable the sound card in the windows hardware manager.
Alternati'vely, you can try shutting your computer down, removing the?microphone plug, rebooting, and?then?inserting the?microphone?plug into the sound card input?jack after windows has completely rebooted.
If all else fails, you can try using the microphone with your on-board sound card while still using your x-fi for output to the speakers.

Microphone doesn't work anymore

Hi all,
I don't know what happened on both my Mac (iMac 24" Intel and Macbook Late 2009), but on both I cannot use anymore the microphone (integrated or built-in).
I tried using a standard 3.5 jack headset and a USB one and I'm 100% sure that all my headset were working because:
In Windows they works;
They worked on both Mac since few days ago (I'm a trainer and I daily make lessons using Web-ex).
System preferences recognize the audio input (built-in and integrated), but it doesn't work (no activity on the bar, even if I remove the headset).
All software that needs a microphone doesn't work (Webex, Skype...).
I'm sure that there has been an update that compromised the correct functionality, as it is on 2 Mac.
Do you have any suggestion for me? I tested 2x 3.5 jack headset and 2x USB, I had the issue with 10.8.3 and I've it still with 10.8.4 (updated today).
I really don't know what to do!
Thanks in advance!

I have an iMac, Intel Corre i5 running 10.8.5 and the built-in mic is not working.
I have checked System preferences and it is set to built-in mic and not muted. If I physically tap near the built-in mic, I see the sound level bounce. But speaking, even if right next to the mic, doesn't register. In Garage band when I try to record my voice, it only picks up the finger snaps but not my voice (snapping to show a rhythm to my choir).
What is going on?

I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?

I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?

Just thought that I'd report that I've decided on my solution.
It seems that just making do with what I can find on the US store is the easiest and perhaps also the best way of going about it. All other methods mean trouble. I'm lucky that China hasn't outright blocked the US store, as they HAVE blocked iTunes music store in China already (something about a song about Tibet caused them to block the store entirely).
So yeah, just going to deal with it I guess. I should be grateful I'm getting anything at all, considering the country I'm in. Still, I just feel so ripped off sometimes when I pay for expensive devices and I can't even get much out of them do to my region. iPhones cost around $700 in China because there's no company like AT&T that you can just sign a contract with to get one, so you have to pay up-front for the phone, and get less features out of it in the end. Makes buying smart phones look like a waste of time and money sometimes, since you can't use the device to do what it was built to do due to censorship and not having any content for your region (though they do have a lot of Chinese apps that I can't use due to not knowing Chinese).

Microphone doesn't work for Creative Live! Cam Socialize HD AF HD Webcam

Microphone doesn't work for Creative Live! Cam Socialize HD AF HD Webcam (for Windows 7).
I have to use external microphone from Logitech now.
I send few emails to Customer Service. They answered once to check my Device Manager and disappeared after that. I'm really disappointed.
It looks like the drivers for Windows 7 are wrong.

hey Killthebeeping,
if you have the USB Mic connected kindly remove it first then uninstall the audio drivers for your B510.
let windows install its generic driver.
once done plugin your usb mic and test it again.

Headphone jack sometimes doesn't work for my ipad air.

Headphone jack sometimes doesn't work for my ipad air, when watching a video or listening to music the audio in the ear or head phones cuts off. It's definitely not the ear phones it's the ipad because I've tried too many different headphones. It's been 7 months that I've bought it from the apple store so would you be able to fix it. Is there a fee?

Hello SungSungE,
please check out this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6288240
It doesn't perfectly answer your question but you will see that I have an answer from Apple regarding this problem.
regards, Elberto

Frequently the earphone and microphone doesn't work and I have to turn off in order to work, it ocurr whit skype and the ipod function, what I have to do?

Frecuently the earphone and the microphone doesn't work, specially with skype and the music (ipod), and I have torestart (turn off) my Ipad !.
What I have to do?
Thanks in advance for your support.

Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

Y410p Front headphone and microphone jacks not working after repair

I recently (last month) sent my IdeaPad Y410p in to Lenovo for repairs due to the laptop not turning on, or repeatedly restarting at the BIOS screen. The laptop was repaired by Lenovo (they replaced the motherboard), and returned it to me. The laptop has worked great sincce then, except that the two USB ports on the right side and the headphone and microphone jacks do not work. I have reinstalled the audio drivers, twice, but have not reinstalled the chipset drivers at all, as I don't want to screw around with those untiol I no more about what I should do. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Talonek, welcome to the forums,
the problem you are experiencing is probably due to the cable connecting the ports on the right side, front of system, to the mainboard unfortunately not being connected or connected properly. Please see pdf page 52 of the system's Hardware Maintenance Manual.
I've never taken an Y410p apart, but having looked at the manual the cable connection may well be accessible to check / fix by removing the hard drive. Another alternative would be to call service and ask them to do this for you.

Headphone works, microphone doesn't
