In-line mic doesn't work

I want to speak through the Apple headset (earphone with mic on it) but it doesn't work. I chose 'line in'.

I bought mine earlier this year, before the newer one came out.
Funny thing is, I can choose to speak into the mic on the Apple earphone when I used Windows by Parallels.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
    BIOS:              http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014992
    Best Regards,
    Hiro

  • 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.

  • Mic doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 7.0.2 ? go to settings privacy microphones and allow access( green button) to apps This worked for me

    Mic doesn't work on iPad 2 after upgrade to ios7.0.2? Go to settings / privacy/ microphones. Then allow access to relevant apps (green button)
    This worked for me on skype, vocal live, mic pro apps

    Can't believe this worked! I had same issue since upgrade, searched web, found this... Hoover the mic for around 15 seconds... It only flaming well worked!  

  • Line-in mic doesn't work; both preferences selected

    I can't get a Line-in microphone to work on imovie VO, or elsewhere.
    I've selected Line-in on both the Personal Preferences and the preferences on imovie.
    And I've tried two different new microphone headsets.
    Can someone please tell what I'm doing wrong?

    Pieter,
    I'm not at my big Mac right now (..the one with iMovie '08..) and so I can't test things: I'm travelling with my G4 PowerBook laptop, and iMovie '08 isn't (..can't be..) installed on that. So I can't test this for you; sorry.
    I don't remember having had a problem with audio input in iMovie '08, but maybe someone else can give you more info. (I think I've used a Saffire FireWire input device, and condenser mic, with iM'08, but can't remember the details right now.)
    It may be that the 'GarageBand Fix' might help: go to GarageBand, play a few notes on a virtual instrument, then quit GB. That may reset the audio to its proper settings. And as Klaus1 always recommends.. "Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz."
    I'm sorry that I can't presently help any more than that..

  • Installed Camtasia which wanted Soundflower and now line-input doesn't work

    I installed the Camtasia demo which asked to install Soundflower to get the audio recording working, then I went to skype and my mic/headset (attached to the line-input) no longer worked. I've tried attaching different headsets to the same input, visiting System Preferences / Sound and tapping the mic, but nothing seems to fix it, and I haven't installed anything else, so it has to be Soundflower doing something to affect the line-input.
    Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any easy fix?

    Thanks, I've tried that but they haven't responded yet. I wondered if anyone on the apple forums had seen a similar problem...

  • M1330 mic doesn't work

    Hi!!
    I bought the wonderful Dell XPS m1330 and almost everything works.
    One of the essential features that doesn't work is my microphone. I saw the wiki page and I didn't try yet to recompile alsa because my speakers work well and I don't want make a mess.
    Any idea from who got this pc?
    Solved!! In KDE(mod4) to have the mic working you have to set the mixer like in this screen:

    If you lack something just go in Settings --> Channels and there you can enable the other bars.

  • My Mic Doesn't Work for Windows 7!

    My laptop Model is a Satellite M305-S4910 I just last week got my laptop upgraded to Windows 7, but when I use video chat on MSN Messenger or Skype or any type of Audio Recording it doesn't work, or when chatting it seems like my voice is from a far distance, Please I need help, It's the only why for me and my boyfriend to talk from overseas, I really need this mic to work Please help me
    Thank You

    Thanks Chen, but still the same result. 
    I'll narrow down the scenario(actually two scenarios) as per the way it's behaving on Windows 7 machines.
    Case - 1
    1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
    2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button.  Close these windows.
    Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
    3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
    Result: No it is not set.
    4. Again open up advanced settings -> system env variables window. Click on the OK Button.  Close these windows.
    5. Now open up a command prompt window and type 'set'
    Result: It is set now
    Case 2:
    1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
    2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button.  Close these windows.
    Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
    3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
    Result: No it is not set.
    4. I do a system restart.
    5. Open up a command prompt and type 'set'
    Result: It is set now
    Any idea why this is behaving like this(more or less like setting a user level env variable), please  ? I've to some way get through this obstacle to advance further. Thanks a lot for the support
