Integrated Microphone Array not working

Hi. I recently bought a dv6 laptop. In the beginning there were no problems with it at all, but without any (to me) apparent reason, the integrated microphone simply stopped working. I've tried several suggested solutions already; I've checked my sound setup in the control panel, everything checks out there, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT HD Audio Driver CODEC through the HP Recovery Manager. My laptop is running Windows 7 x64. I really need a solution to this problem, it is driving me crazy.. I'm hoping someone in here can help me..
Thanks in advance.

The following steps were posted by @DavidPK. I am copying the steps I want you to try rather than just linking you the thread as it is quite long. I am also providing a link to the thread below.
“Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Click the Recording tab, right click the 'Integrated Microphone array' and select Properties. Click the Microphone Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Disable microphone enhancements'. Click Apply and Ok to save this change and the restart the notebook - has this made any difference?”

Intergrated microphone array not working

I have an Hp elitebook. I went through are various directions to edit the properties concerning my microphone, but it will not work. I use headphones, which are in the correct jack. I enabled the device, went to my system bios and disabled and re-enabled it. Nothing is working, please help

Hello @Rilsere
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the EliteBook is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
When you put your post in that forum be sure to include the full product number and operating system for your notebook to save time.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
I hope this helps!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Dv7 Pavilion integrated microphone array (Skype)

I was able to use skype until I was recently messing around with the recoding tab under the sound options. I believe I deleted something, and now only the external mic and stereo mix devices show. I didn't discover the problem until I tried to use skype again and have no mic available. I went into the IDT HD Sound options (trying to figure out how to fix it) and can see that there is an integrated microphone array, but it appears to be disabled with appearent way to fix the problem.
Thank you in advance for the help!
This question was solved.

Hi,
On Sound Window, on Recording Tab, right click on Empty Space, click 'Show Disabled Devices', and 'Show Hidden Devices'.
If Microphone Appears, right click and click Enable, select it, click Set as Default.
Check if it works, if not, you need to uninstall and reinstall the Driver.
1. Click Start, type: DEVMGMT.MSC in Search Field and Press Enter. It opens Device Maanger Window.
2. Go to 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers' category, and expand it. Right click on IDT High Definition Audio Device entry and click Uninstall
3. Click Start->All Programs=>REcovery Manager->click Hardware Dirver installation, select Sound Driver entry, and click Install.
Thank You.

[XP64] Microphone does not work in WinXP 64

Hi,In Windows XP 64bit my microphone does not work, tried it in Ventrilo 2., Skype and even in the Windows Recorder. The computer don't detect any sound. Offcourse?I have selected the microphone in the recordering section in the Windows volume panel and the volume at maxium. Also in the volume panel under playback the microphone is not mute, set to max volume. I have also installed WinXP 32bits and here it works OK with exactly the same settings. Thats why I think it is because of my Soundcard driver, I have installed the latest driver from this site. I have a SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatality. Is there anyone with a X-Fi soundcard with the same problem or anyone where the microphone works in WinXP 64bit's Or is it a known problem?Please help me

Hi Theicewarrior,?Creative support has been aware of this issue for quite some time (6+ months, maybe even a year). The 4GB+?RAM driver/addressing issues are not a priority or they would have been addressed quite some time ago.
Presumably this is due to functional Vista drivers for the masses being a higher priority than the relati'vely few of us with 4GB+ RAM and an X-Fi.
While the X-Fi?is a great card, my only wish was that the vendor was forthright about this product not functioning with certain configurations. It is my feeling that?making an effort to help?customers choose?products that will work with their configurations would result in satisfied and repeat customers?and a better bottom line?as opposed to?eeking a few extra dollars out of a slightly larger customer base and?who are then left unsatisfied with a product and unwilling to buy a company's products in the future.Message Edited by Foddan on 07-9-20070:45 AM

Microphone does not work in Facetime

Hi
I read other posts and in Maverik I didn't find simmilar problem, for most people their microphone does not work after few minutes, but in my case, microphone does not work at all in Facetime, so I can hear the other end, but they can not hear me! This happened after updating Mavericks.
My Mac specs:
Macbook Pro 2013
OSx 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
things I already tested:
I tried to use headphone and without headphone, but it didn't make any difference
Microphone works fine in Skype and other softwares (Audacity, YahooMessenger, etc.)
Tried with WiFi and with Ethernet cable
Internet speed is 2.3MBps
Router's firewall does not have any restriction for certain ports
Tried turning facetime Off and On
Tried to call iPhone 5s, iPad2 and MacBook Pro each in different network and different countries!
... and finally searching internet for hours (which obviously came up with nothing)
I'll be thankful if somebody help me through, all suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate to post.

Same issue here....
8-core Mac Pro, Lion, Original External iSight camera connected via FireWire 400 through the FireWire jack on the 23" Apple Cinema Display.
Audio and video work fine using iChat and making video clips through any/all apps.
However, using FaceTime.....incoming audio and video are fine, outgoing video is fine, but outgoing audio is missing. Nobady can hear me.
Sorry guys...you can't doll this one up or spin it in any other direction......it's a bug pure and simple.
Feel free to fix it whilst you're dealing with all the other problems that Lion has.

My microphone does not work on calls on my iPhone 4

Don't ask me what has happened and I have been through all of the troubleshooting that I can on my own.
I have no clue how to get a hold of a LIVE AT&T person or APPLE person.
The problem is my microphone does not work when I use the telephone, whether I make the call or someone calls me. It is NOT the MUTE button. And yes, I have already rebooted my iPhone about 5 times now. Has not fixed it either.
But the microphone DOES work as I was able to record a new voicemail greeting to let people know my phone isn't working.
So, they could call me all day long but they won't hear me, so who do I call using my landline (thankfully I kept it).
It is the day after Thanksgiving and I would be a fool to head over to the Apple Store or the AT&T Store....
Thank-you,
Marcia

Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
Take a look at this Apple document for more information -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

Re: Satellite Pro L500-1PU - internal microphone does not work

I have an L500 -1PU Toshiba, running on 32 bit Windows 7,
The webcam is working wonderfully but the internal microphone is not working properly.
I had an external microphone so i hadn't noticed this problem when i got on skype, but i've recently discovered that when using the webcam the person on the other end can hear faint noises from my computer when i'm playing music or watching a video clip.
How can i solve this and get my microphone working properly such that i can control the volume and actually get full service from my otherwise decent notebook?
Thanks

Hi
Possibly this Toshiba FAQ could help you:
+Whistling sound on the Satellite L500+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UB0001R01.htm
Its a matter of the settings.
This issue occurs if the microphone volume in the speakers properties is enabled.
After disabling this point the issue with acoustic feedback does not appear anymore.
Hope this helps!

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

Microphone does not work after restarting computer

I just received the Creative Xmod soundcard yesterday after using an Icemat siberia usb headset sound card for a couple months. The sound is a lot better with the creative soundcard however, if I restart my computer and go back into ventrilo, my microphone does not work. It doesnt make any sound when I talk into it (almost as if it muted itself) but it hasnt. I check my sound settings and everything is the way it should be.....but the mic isnt producing any sound. It is not my headphones that is causing the problem because I have never had this problem with my old icemat soundcard. I am currently using :
Sennheiser PC350 headset
Windows XP Home Edition
The newest version of Ventrilo

That is how I have ventrilo setup. A friend of mine said I should Mux set to Record Control, but it only gives me the option for Wave In =/

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes. I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever. My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems. I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions. So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme? I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did. Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems? I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.
