Inspiron 1525 not able to select internal mic for webcam, nor is it showing up on Control Panel, Sound, Audio Devices

Initial problem was Dell Webcam video recording records no sound.
In Control Panel, Device Manager, Sound Video and Game Controllers there are two High Definition Audio Devices listed: Location 1 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus) - I deduce this is the internal mic; and Location 2 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus) - I deduce this is external microphone jack. Both have the same driver version.
The Control Panel, Sound, Recordings Tab showed 2 devices that looked identical except the bars that show green with volume were only on the first one, which is also the default one, and would detect sound if you got real close to the webcam mic when talking. Both devices displayed as 'working'.
Accessories, Sound Recorder recordings are silent no matter how close you get to internal webcam mic.
Dell WebCam Audio Source tab has two selections, both reading Microphone (3 - High Definition Audio Device). Both selections record sound with the EXTERNAL MIC jack. There is no way to select the internal webcam mic, it is not an option.
Per instructions found on the web, I uninstalled the first device only in Device Manager and rebooted. The same driver version as before was installed. But now the settings have changed. Device Mgr still shows Loc 1 and Loc 2. However, under the Sound, Recordings tab there are still 2 devices, but the first one says 'currently unavailable' , is still the default, and the sound bars that go green for audio testing are on the SECOND device now instead of the first one. If you check the Properties for each device, they BOTH are showing the same location Location 2 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus), i.e., the external mic jack.  Loc 1 device (built in mic) is not showing up!!
Accessories Sound Recorder works with the EXTERNAL mic. (How does it know which one to use, it's not giving me a choice?)
So the Location 1 device (internal mic) is not showing up anywhere besides the device manager. I want to use the internal mic for skype and webcam. Somehow I need to get the Loc 1 device to show up on the Sound - Recording tab and in the Webcam Audio Source list? What do I do?
Thank you in advance for your help.

This is Vista.
Go to the Inspiron 1525 support page. Find the small blue "Change OS" and click on the arrow. Select Vista.Then download and install these 3 items with a restart between each one.
1. Dell System Software in the System Utilities category.
2. Intel Mobile Chipset in the Chipset category.
3. Sigmatel audio driver in the Audio category.
See if it works any better after you get the Sigmatel driver installed.

  • Not able to select sales area for reference BP in CRM system

    Hi Kishore,
    So you manage get into Sales Area Data, but when you
    try to select Sales Organization you get nothing?
    (click Sales Org combo but no selection appear)?
    How about field Distribution Channel and Division?
    I am afraid some of these fields still not properly
    set/transported to CRM.
    In R/3, this BP has maintained under same Sales Area
    which mapped in CRM Org Model right ?
    What is role in CRM when you open the BP?
    Have you check if there is any error in middleware
    when downloading BP data to CRM?

  • Not able to select physicalschema directory for file data server in ODI 11g

    Hi,
    I am a beginner to ODI tech and stuck up with an error while doing a tutorial (mentioned in this link - http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/fmw/odi/odi_11g/ODIproject_ff-to-ff/ODIproject_flatfile-to-flatfile.htm).
    While creating a physical schema for default file server(FILE_GENERIC) , I am not able to select schema directories and the name field with value 'FILE_GENERIC.Directory' is grayed out (non editable)
    I have gone through many documents but could not find any relevant information for this.
    So could you please let me know if any configurations required for this?
    Thanks,
    Anusha

    Hi Oleg,
    Thanks for your reply.
    While creation of physical schema , Name field is grayed out , is that the default behaviour of the screen? because in the tutorial I could see the name filead is pointing to a file directory path.
    Thanks,

    Wow,
    Talk about picking the hardest solution to an easy problem.  You guys were right, it wasn't driver related at all.  It simply wasn't enabled in the system BIOS.  I never imagined that it would be disabled as a default.  I conceptualized this is Plug and Play (Which was wrong).  
    Thanks for the hand.  BTW, MSI help desk was clueless about this (which was surprising).

  • I am not able to make International calls from iPhone 5s

    I got this new iphone 5s as a gift a week days ago, and It was working all great for 2-3 days. But from last 4days i AM not able to make international calls
    Whenever I dial, I can't hear any ring going on and all I can hear is my own voice reverting back to me. Moreoever I am being charged for every call I make. I tried restarting my device, Also by connecting to itunes to find if any Update is needed but it says my iOS7 is recent no updates needed.
    Urgent help needed
    Thanks in advance.

    A call is a call so far as the phone is concerned. Internation or across the street, it doesn't diferentiate between them.
    Contact your carrier.

  • I'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up

    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

    I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them. How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I am not able to select a new network printer just installed at work to print to from Firefox. I have tried to reset the printer settings, but this did not work. Do I need to map Firefox to this new printer?

    We recently had a new printer installed at work that has been set as the Default printer on my computer. When I go to print something from Firefox, I am not able to select the new printer from the printer window in the print box. The new printer does not show up

    From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
    You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

  • Not able to select images in iphoto 8????

    Since I've installed iphoto 8, I'm not able to select my pictures as I did with iphoto 6. When adding images through yahoo mail for example, I was able to before locate my iphoto folder, and it would give me a drop list of all the pictures. With iphoto 8, all I see is "iphoto library" and its faded out and I can't select it.
    Does anyone know if this is just the way iphoto 8 works, or is there a way to fix this. The only solution I have found, is I have to copy the pictures on to my desktop and then select them from there.
    Please help
    Thank you in advance

    THe basic answer is to export them to a desktop folder and access them form there

  • Not able to select a row in ALV?

    Hi Experts,
    I am enhancing a standard e-recruiting WD ABAP component.
    It produces a search result as ALV.
    I am not able to select any row in ALV by clicking it like we normally do in ALV.
    I wrote below code to allow selection:
    lo_value->if_wd_salv_table_settings~set_selection_mode( cl_wd_table=>e_selection_mode-single).
    Even after this I am not able to select any row by clicking it.
    Need help to solve this.
    Regards,
    Sumit Oberoi

    Hi,
    To have the inputfields for the ALV.
    Get the column references of the ALV table and for each column rference create a inputfield object
    type CL_SALV_WD_UIE_INPUT_FIELD.
    lo_value is model object.
      CALL METHOD lo_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns
        RECEIVING
          value = wd_this->lit_columns.
    LOOP AT wd_this->lit_columns INTO wd_this->lis_columns.
          lv_id = wd_this->lis_columns-id.
          wd_this->gref_column = wd_this->lis_columns-r_column.
    case lv_id.
    when ' colname'.
                CREATE OBJECT lr_input
                  EXPORTING
                    value_fieldname = lv_id.
                CALL METHOD wd_this->gref_column->set_cell_editor
                  EXPORTING
                    value = lr_input.
    when ' colname'.
                CREATE OBJECT lr_input
                  EXPORTING
                    value_fieldname = lv_id.
                CALL METHOD wd_this->gref_column->set_cell_editor
                  EXPORTING
                    value = lr_input.
    endcase.
    endloop.
    Or you can take a attribute READ_ONLY for the node to which ALV table is bound.
    Set the readonly property to abap_false (for input field) by looping through the table.
    Get the column references and get the textview reference for each column and use the set_read_only
    method by passing the attribute name.
    This way the textview will now become the inputfield when the read_only property is set to abap_false.
    Regards,
    Lekha.

  • Not able to select annotation in Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    If I hide both toolbar and navigation panel then I am n't able to select annotation in Adobe Reader/Acrobat X.  This wasn't the case with earlier version of Adobe.
    So is this issue of latest Adobe?
    Regards,
    Arvind

    I checked in version 10.0.1 also. I am not able to select annotation with left mouse button click. This happens only when both toolbar and navigation panel are hidden. You can check this at your end.
    And using RMB click, I am able to select annotation.  I think this is an issue of latest Adobe as earlier we were able to select using LMB click even when both toolbar and navigation panel are hidden.
