Headset Mic No Longer Working

As of a few days ago, the microphone on my iPhone headset stopped working. I've tried it on my wife's 3G and it works fine and I also purchased a new headset that isn't working, so it's not the mic or the headset apparently. any thoughts on what the issue might be?

Hi,
Make sure there isn't any debris in the headphone jack, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802#faq25
If the issue persists after trying the tips in the article, the iPhone will likely need service. You can setup service by making a reservation with a Genius online here: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or by calling U.S. iPhone technical support at: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466)

USB Mic no longer works with Skype after 7.1 updat...

Using a USB headset with skype, worked with previous versions, works with other programs. I can hear people talk but they can't hear me! Skype detects the mic just fine but when I talk nobody can hear me.
I have tried updating drivers, re-installing skype, I have tried deleting my profile/preferences from the skype folder on my PC and starting from scratch, tried restarting my computer, re-installing my headset drivers, and tried restarting or re-plugging in my mic. Nothing works. Skype simply doesn't use my mic properly in the new version, previous versions did not have this problem, as I said mic works fine in all other programs.

Hi pa.elimination, Can you please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
This will help us investigate and solve the problem you are experiencing.
Can you also try with the 7.0 version to see if that version solves your issue?

IMac mid 2010 w OSX 10.9.5: headphone with mic -- mic no longer working

I've been using the same headset plus mic with my iMac for a couple of years. Has worked fine until yesterday. Now the mic does not work. Headset / mic still work fine with my phone and other computers so nothing wrong with the headset. Checked system preferences -> sound -> input and the headset shows up but the blue bars don't move when I talk into the mic. I rebooted the machine and still have the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Jim

I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM. No luck unfortunately.
I've tried two headsets and neither are working (both worked fine two days ago). I've used both headsets on other devices and they are working fine there.
I can hear through the headset but cannot be heard when I talk.
Thanks.

Wireless USB mice no longer work

First, I'm left-handed and use my mouse on the left side of my laptop, so let's dispose of that suggestion right off the bat.
When I got my MBP, I bought a nice Microsoft cordless mice, the kind that has a USB dongle that snaps in to the base. It worked great for a long time. At some point, one of my co-workers bent the dongle, damaging it slightly. Time passed, I didn't need the mouse very much, and it stopped working (yes, batteries were replaced). Didn't matter if I plugged it in to the left or right USB port.
I found an unopened Logitech USB cordless mouse and decided to give it a try. It also doesn't work.
I tend to doubt that both mice failed, I'm more inclined to think that my laptop is, for whatever reason, not seeing them. I know the USB ports are good as I plug in my iPod, Time Machine drive, and printer in to either of them.
Any suggestions for diagnosing this? Yes, my laptop has been rebooted. I'm running OS 10.6.6, but this problem probably goes back at least one or two versions down.
I just wish I could find a good BlueTooth mouse. I've tried the Apple mice and the Microsoft BT mouse that was "Mac Compatible" (it didn't work), and I just haven't found one that I like. I really like the feel of the MS USB wireless mice.
Oh, well! And thanks for any suggestions.

The Microsoft Mouse did not require a driver, OS-X recognized it right off the bat.
It's kind of moot, I bought a Magic Trackpad last week so I no longer need a mouse. Thanks anyway.

Mic no longer works in Vi

I have an MSI mobo that has a built in x-fi sound chip. It has worked fine the past 6 months until maybe two weeks ago when i updated the creative driver via Vista. Ever since then I can not get the mic to work at all. It doesnt matter if I plug into the front panel or the rear. I uninstalled the new driver and reloaded using the driver that came from MSI. No dice. I still have no mic. I next went and formatted my pc, reloaded vista, and installed the MSI x-fi drivers and still no luck.
After reading the forums here I decided to give up on Creative and went to buy a new sound card. Not wanting to wait for shipping I went to Best Buy but all they had there were Creative X-Fi cards. I asked about their return policy and was told that I could install the card and if it did not work i could bring it back. So I have now installed an Xtreme Gamer card. I disabled my onboard sound and still no luck at all with getting the mic to work. I followed the instructions in the "getting recording in vista to work" sticky and that didnt help at all.
In recording devices now I have Microphone, Line-in,? What U Hear, and Auxiliary. I have disabled all but one at a time and cant get any of them to work. Monday I will be taking the card back to Best Buy and ordering a different brand if I cant get this to work before then. Anyone have any suggestions?
System Info
MSI Diamond Pro mobo (Nforce 680 chipset)
Intel 6600 quad core proc
2 gig corsair memory
8800 GTS video card
Vista Home Premium 32bit
Thanks for any help,
Mike?

I had a similar problem with this new driver version. After reinstalling drivers several times I realized that if I set the speakers to anything except 2. audio the microphone wouldn't work. Maybe this would work for you, I hope this is fixed soon in another driver release.

IPad 2 mic no longer working

My iPad 2 mic doesn't seem to be working. It has worked the first few times I used it, but now can't record audio for garage band, nor can my FaceTime send any audio. Help

Have you tried any of the following?
1) Close all open applications on iPad. Fully shutdown. Restart.
2) Use iTunes to do a system restore. Be sure to do a full backup beforehand.
If that does not help, consider making a Genius Bar appointment.

IPhone Headset Mic Doesn't Work

The mic on my iPhone 3G headphones (original) and a new set of Seinheiser headphones for the iPhone 3G do not work. By pressing the mic button I should be able to resume/pause playback on the iPod but need to get the phone out of the pocket to use the functions from the screen. Is this a glitch that needs to be looked at under warranty?

It worth trying! Yeah...

Headset mic doesn't work on ventrilo

Everything seems to work fine on Vent, just the mic side is what i'm having problems with. I can hear everyone else, I just cant seem to get my "mic speaker" to light up when I talk.
any ideas?
PS: same goes for Teamspeak as well.

We've cleaned the mic several times, didn't make a difference. And the mic doe run for recording, sounds fine. it;s only on calls it doesn't work.

New Version Of Skype, Now Mic Doesn't Work

Skype has been bugging me daily to install the latest version. So I finally did, from that moment on my mic no longer works. I had JUST used my mic right before installing the latest skype version and it worked fine, I tried to make a local call, and while I can hear the other party, they cannot hear me. I tried a skype to skype call even, and I could hear them, but they could not hear me.
* I double checked the mic, my computer, volumes, mute button
* I unistalled skype, reinstalled it, restarted my computer
* Did a mic test online/on my computer and it worked fine
After after all of this, it still does not work with skype.

In the same boat as you dude. i can hear them,but they can hear me. Ive checked my mic over and over,but nothing. all it says it it works. My recording sofware says "Ready to Go" but skype is the dragging body if you know what i mean

CIT200 Internal mic does not work??

I am using the CIT200 under WIndows 7. It connects fine to Skype and drivers are installed OK. When I call, the internal mic does not work (phone's internal speaker is fine), but when I plug in a headset, the headset mic (and speaker) works just fine. Does this mean the internal mic is physically damaged, or is there anything I can do software vise to get it to work?

Hmmm, well never tried to make the CIT200 software on a Virtual PC, but you can give a try and check if that solves your problem or not.

Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
Anyone have any possible work arounds?

Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.

Bluetooth No Longer Working With Headset

I have a Motorola bluetooth headset that I've used with my ibook before without a hitch, but when I screwed up OS X and reinstalled it (note: reinstalled the operating system, but didn't format) it no longer works with the headset. I can connect to it just fine, but if I try to use it for anything such as switch my audio output to the headset, the program will freeze - same applies to using the headset for input. The headset isn't broken as it works fine with my phone, but my ibook won't cooperate and they are paired correctly. Is their someway to reinstall the bluetooth drivers or something to that extent? Thanks

If you have a headset, why use Raise to speak? Kinda defeats the purpose of the headset.
Press and hold the button on your headest to call up Siri.
