If inbuilt Mic is not working, follow below steps to resolve the issue
Right click the audio options down bottom right, click recording devices if your mic isn't there right click in it and select show disabled devices, if it then comes up right click on the device and click Enable.
If still it is not working, download and install latest audio driver from below link based on your operating system and follow above steps again and check

  • My inbuilt mic is muffled in logic studio

    i use logic pro 9  studio
    i use a tascam 144 audio interface to record - this is old and i get a lot of interference with audio input mic and need to replace but that is another issue
    ISSUE IS : when i wont to record something off the hoof maybe a melody that comes into my head i go into a working project , create a track and select inbuilt mic as the input
    obviously all the levels in logic are set as normal and the right inbuild mic input is selected
    in the past , this has been fine, but recently the level is very faint and muffled and i am not sure what I have done. if I go to the midi/audio set up and select input, i notice that hte master is set to 0 and will not change although right and left levels are working - not sure if that is the problem
    i have tried going into system prefs and checking input level there and this looks fine.
    If i put my mouth right upto the mic i can hear myself back but if i am just singing with my guitar alongside my laptop (macbook) then it really is faint and i can hardly hear it back
    When i use my audio interface , i do not get this probem ( only the crackling which is down i think to an old tascam 144 , but as i say that is another issue)
    any help greatly appreciated

    None of us are lawyers or work for Apple. Is someone is suing you or you were sent a cease and desist letter from an atty? Just because someone says this, does not make it true.
    Start with the Logic License. If you can not find it in your papers, go to the Apple site and search for Software licenses. There is a whole page of links to their software licenses. When you find the Logic version - read it carefully. It defines the legal relationship between Apple and you with regard to what you purchased. If it makes things clear, send the relevant sections of the software license to YouTube or whomever you desire. If that doesn't work or If you are still unclear, consult an atty versed in entertainment law.
    Having said all this I have to add, being right will not protect you from accusations by the clueless.

  • Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

    I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone.  Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
    However, there is one very annoying problem I am having.  When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic.  I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
    Here are the tests I ran:
    Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear.  Call result, pretty muffled voice.  I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
    Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone.  This definatelyimproved call quality.  Was louder and clearer, but not perfect.  I'd rate it at 8/10.
    Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic.  This was a further improvement in sound quality.  Rating would be 9/10.
    Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole.  Very low volume and muffled sound.  Rating a 4/10.
    Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic.  This gave perfect call quality and volume.  Rating a 10/10!
    Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
    Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone.  Call quality was really nice.  Id give it 9/10.
    Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7.  Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
    Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand.  Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7.  Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
    Speaker phone on, placed face down on table.  Volume a bit low, a little muffled.  Call quality 6/10.
    Speaker phone on, place face up on table.  A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled.  Call quality is 5/10.
    Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection.  It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
    I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality.  And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good.  That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
    Is anyone else seeing the same issues?  I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
    Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give.  Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Mic problems with all boards thread! What do we do to fix this or do we need a new boa

    I have come the conclusion that this is not just a mic problem but a uni'versal line in problem since several devices can be connected thru my SoundBlaster Li've! 24-bit line in port. I'm assuming its a software problem and it seems to be a common problem. The second possibilty is that part of the board is either defected or assembled incorrectly. Either way everyone seems to have made sure that:
    A. there drivers are up to date.
    B. they have dissabled any other audio device in windows or in BIOS.
    C. there mic won't work no matter what port they attempt.
    D. creative software changes of audio devices and mixer still don't change anything.
    I came on here for answers yet all i find is questions.
    And all seem to be pretty similar. There are many other posts pertaining individual audio cards, yet they all have the same problem. If your having the same problem post here and keep this thread ali've, if you have an answer to your own problems you'd like to share post it here. Hoping for a Creative response to either my post or one of the many other posts on the same subject.Message Edited by syferus on 09-23-2005 0:30 AM

    If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
    If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

  • Mic problem & warrenty issue .

    Hiii
    I have iPhone 4S which is having mic problem i guess.During voice calls the call receiver at other end unable to hear my voice on handset mode but on speaker mode he can hear my voice.
    Also wanted to know in which country my phones warrenty is valid .
    iPhone4S
    Model: MD241LL/A
    Serial No.: DNPHN0Z3DTD6

    Hi Alankar,
    Make sure your iPhone case is not covering the mic. It is on the bottom to the right or left of the connector. Have you tried a call without a case on the phone?
    Your Model Number indicates that this is a US phone, so the warranty would be valid in the US.
    Cheers,

  • Audigy 2 ZS/ Teamspeak/ Mic Problems/ SOL

    I gather from other posts im not the first and probably not the last to have problems with my SB card and Teamspeak Mic function, after MANY painful hours of reading this forum, downloading drivers, reinstalling software and countless tweaks to my SB mixer and Teamspeak options I finally got my Mic to work right. Hopefully my pain will help someone one else, I was ready to give up on my Mic/SB card ever working right till I stumbled on what appears to be the fix to to Mic problem, I made so many changes I will list them all as Im not sure that it isnt the combination of any or all things that made it work,
    My set up, front Mic and Headphone jack on computer,
    -Go to SB mixer function, above the first volume knob is a red arrow, click on it, it will say digital only output, SELECT this option, turn volume up
    -reading left to right on the middle part of the mixer, turn the function ON the first 3, turn off the the following 3.
    - the 6th funtion should be set to microphone, click on red arrow above mic picture and turn on mic boost function.
    -Teamspeak setting, go to options screen select "wave" sound, click ok and adjust in and out volumes on settings panel.
    This did it for me, I went from no mic, to fuzzy mic, to crystal clear mic after playing with things for 2 days.
    I have new faith in my SB card and hope others are smarter than me and figure it out with out all the research good luck.

    In the Creative Mixer on the right hand side you should see a separate column with a "Rec" heading. There should be a small upside-down triangle. Click on that and you should get a list. Choose "Analog Mix" which includes Microphone, Line-In, etc. Then to the left, un-mute the source you want.

    Happy New Year to all.
    I have installed 2 ZS card. Output works well. I want to record a couple of old vinyl albums. I cant either through Creative Surround mixer or through windows get either a Line-in or microphone input to select from. I have tried everything but this forum. If anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am currently using an ipod touch 3. When i record in voice memos with the apple earphones(with an inbuilt mic) i can see on the screen that its recording;
    but when i hear it, its just a long beep. Need some help!

    Does the mic work for other apps like Voice Control?
    Does the mic work OK in other devices?
    Have you tried it with another mic?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipad 2 mic problem

    1. My mic just suddenly has gone out of service. Only some scratching sound can be heard during video recording.
    2. I bought my iPad 2 in NY, March of 2011 - I am currenlty in Saudi Arabia,
         a. Is there any shop that can accommodate me to fix this mic problem?
          b. I have got only a scanned copy of the receipt from the Apple Store in Palisades - am I still covered with a warranty using this scanned copy?

    Yes, hold a finger longways over most of the nozzle (if you have one) to confine the suction to a specific area. Also, do it for a prolonged period, and gently use a common pin to loosen any foreign matter that my be in it!

    I unlocked the iPhone From AT&T, its working well in browsering and i can hear people in calls, but people can`t hear me (even with earphones! it`s not a mic problem!!) help me please..

    I had the same problem this morning. I tried reset on phone a few times. Nothing. Then I restored it from iTunes and it worked fine. This has happened to me before -- don't know the root of it, but restoring has worked so far. Good luck.

  • Mic on mac mini

    I had used a built-in mic on mac mini for Skype. Then I hookep up a usb webcam and the mic stopped working. After I disconnected the webcam, the mic remained nonfunctional. Anybody has an idea how to fix it?

    It would help to know more about the Mini, what version, what OS?
    However, a stab in semi-darkness: go to Apple Menu / System Preferences. Click on Sound (the speaker icon). Next click on Input button.
    Try changing settings for Input Level.

  • 3GS Speaker Mic problem

    I have a mic problem with 3GS 32GB running latest software v3.1.2. It works fine when making calls in standard mode, but the mic does not increase its sensitivity in speaker mode so that people can barely make out my voice. Speech is virtually inaudible speaking at it from just 30cm away. I tested it and there was no difference in mic volume between speaker and standard mode. The mic mesh is clean, and removing the phone cover made no difference, nor did restoring the iPhone or changing the SIM/carrier. I took it to the local Apple retailer and 3 other 3GS phones tested all had the same problem, but a 3G worked fine and calls were easily heard in speaker mode. Is this a problem with all 3GS phones?

    I have found it myself. When Skype is running at the back plan, the app is routing sounds to ear speaker. Quitting app, solves the problem. This reply is for whom experience the same problem.
