Internal Mic is mute when headphone plugged in

Hi,
My laptop is Toshiba R30 with Windows 7 SP1.
The internal mic of the laptop will be mute automatically when ever I plug in my headphone, which doesn't have a mic in it. Is there any way that I can use the internal mic of the laptop while using my headphone?
Thanks!

Hello ricky_waldron,
Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
Here is a link to the updates.
Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

  • Speaker wouldn't mute when headphone plugged in

    I've search the forum for this problem and found several solutions but none if them work.
    This is my problem...
    One day the building I've stayed been struck by lighting and my laptop suddenly shutdown. When I turned it back on the problem occurs. My laptop speaker wouldn't mute when the headphone plugged in. I've try reinstall the driver and plugged in a new headphone still wouldn't mute and the sound from headphone only from one side. Is this hardware problem and can it be fix or this problem can be solve just by tweaking?

  • Built-In Mic not working when Headphones plugged in?

    I'm currently using the 13 inch Macbook Pro with the latest software. I noticed just today that the built-in microphone that comes with the laptop will not work when I plug in my headphones. However, as soon as I remove them, they resume working.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Use headphones that also have a microphone.

  • I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
    NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)

  • Satellite P745-S4217 - internal speakers don't mute when headphone or speaker plugged in

    This didn't used to be the case.  Is there something I need to do to make the internal speakers mute when I am using headphone or external speakers?
    Thanks
    Tim
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You never did answer one of my questions.  Did your external speakers ever work and the internal speakers mute as they should?  If the answer is yes, do a System Restore back to a time when they worked properly. Type System Restore in the Start/Search box , hit Enter and follow instructions.  If the answer is no, do a System Reset as follows.  Turn off computer. Remove all attachments and battery. Press and hold the Power button for 15 seconds.  Attach Power and insert battery.  Start computer and tap F2 at the Toshiba splash screen to get in BIOS.  Press F9 to setup system defaults. Answer Yes. Press F10 to Save Configuration Changes and Exit.  Answer Yes to complete the process.  The computer will restart.

  • DV9720US - Speakers won't mute with headphones plugged in.

    I am running XP instead of the Vista it came with. I have all the drivers but one work..(other devices> unknown device) with yellow !?  I can't use my headphones because speakers won't mute. Is this a hardware problem, or something electronic broken, like a metal tab inside that senses when headphones are plugged in? I'd really like to fix this because I use at school all day! Thanks ahead of time....Matt

  • Internal mic poor quality when recording in iMovie

    I noticed exceptionally poor quality of internal mic when recording acoustic guitar piece on iMovie, with the built in iSight camera. Technically, the sound is called "Phasing" - it sounds like a slow 'whoosh' over all of the audio.
    After investigation, I have found the cause to be the Ambient Noise Reduction algorithm added by Apple.
    To remove this - go to:
    System Preferences
    Sound
    Input
    *uncheck* 'use ambient noise reduction'
    Problem solved....
    Now my question - does anyone know how to use the iSight (built in) and simultaneously and synchronously record audio using an External Mic - eg the Blue "Snowball" - which is a USB mic.
    In theory, the mic should plug in and then show up as an external device, but when I select iSight camera as my video source - the Powerbook automatically assumes that I want to use the internal mic as my audio source.
    Have tried to go to Sys Prefs and change 'Input' to USB - but no option to do so
    All help appreciated
    SK

    Hi thanks for the response
    unfortunately, it's got nothing to do with MIDI (which is just a series of controller information)
    The Blue 'Snowball' External mic is essentially a 'USB Device' and should be recognised as such by the Mac. The data will come in as 16bit, 44.1khz AES bit stream and then be assigned a destination.
    The problem is that iMovie does NOT allow me to separate the iSight camera from recording with 'internal mic'
    I want a way of finding how to seperate them - and then assign the USB mic to be associated with the iSight camera - giving me iMovie/iSight videos - with PROFESSIONAL sound
    sorry if i didn't make this clear
    thanks again

  • IPhone 5 and Bang & Olufsen earset 3i headset: mutes when I plug it in

    Hi all
    I've done a sweep of the discussion boards can find no similar issue:
    As the title says, when I plug in my B&O earset 3i into a 64Gb iPhone 5, the volume goes to silent/mute.
    Has anyone else had the same experience and is there a way for me to stop this from happening?
    Thanks in advance
    Graeme

    For those of you who bump into  this question in the future:
    The workaround I ended up using is that before I play a track after the headphones are plugged in, I increase the volume. Mildly annoying but not a deal breaker.
    Oh, and the mute occurs when I use the headphone remote not when I plug in teh headset, as my question implied.

  • Why do my internal speakers still play with headphones plugged in?

    When I plug my headphones in, my mac does not recognize them. Why is this?

    Nah it's a 2011 15" I'm starting to think I need to re-install the Headphone and audio drivers, it only happens occasionally, say if you plug it in as you are opening itunes, the sound will come from the speakers not headphones. but if you exit then plug them back in, then open itunes they're fine ... may just be a gap in apple's coding for bootcamp drivers

  • Macbook Pro way too loud when headphones plugged

    Hi
    I've always had this problem, when I plug in any type of headphones, I must lower the volume to one - max two - "blocs" of volume, otherwise my head explodes. I unplug them, and I have normal volume range with the external speakers.
    Anyone has that problem too??
    thanks

    Anthony,
    Have you learned anything more about this problem? I have the exact same issue. Headphones that work fine on an older Macbook Pro are deafening on the new (Mar. 2008) model.
    I haven't had time to go down to an Apple store and see if it is the same on all machines.

  • Only internal mic reords even when line in selected

    Hi all
    I hope some one cane help with this frustrating problem, I have purchased a 15" MacBook Pro with 2gig HDDR, I have recorded guitar successfully in the past, but recently updated GBand to 3.0.4 (104.7) now when I select an instrument channel, it only records from the internal Mic even when I select, Line In from the System Prefrences, the input registers on the input level meter in the system prefrences pane, but not in the Garageband mixer display, and when I press record GBand only records from interlnal Mic. I have selected all inputs on track info, and have moved slider as far as I can, but still no sound is registered on track, I did notice when I came back to do some more work on one project a panel popped up to say that song had not been saved in iLife? it asked if I wanted to do so so I pressed ok, hope this did not cause problem?
    MacBook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    You have to select line-in in GarageBand's
    preferences. (That's a difference between Intel Macs
    and Power PC Macs.)
    Hi Christoph,
    I've had the Apple set up for a few weeks, I'm trying ti figure things out for myself. I'm a bit stumped...
    I've got this same prob (amongst a few others...) I've got the iMac, and can't turn the internal mic off either. I'm a wee bit lost mate, have you any ideas?
    Thanks for your time...

  • [SOLVED]No sound in speakers when headphones plugged in since 2.6.38.3

    As I already mentionned in another thread, since the kernel26 2.6.38.3 update I'm not getting any sound in my speakers when my headphones are plugged in the front panel of my desktop.
    I'd like to get sound in my speakers even when headphones are plugged in.
    I was directed at some "Headphone jack sense" option, but there is none in my alsamixer (even after pressing F5.) Can't find anything anywhere on the web either. Most people want to disable sound in their speakers when their headphones are plugged in... Not me.
    I'll try to see if I can find the annoying commit somewhere, but meanwhile if someone has an idea, that would be great!
    PS: some technical information...
    Gigabyte H55N-USB3 motherboard.
    $ lspci | grep -i audio
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
    $ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
    Codec: Realtek ALC892
    Codec: Intel IbexPeak HDMI
    The speakers are plugged in the rear jack output (not HDMI.)
    ... and I forgot to say I'm using ALSA.

    You realize that the speakers are supposed to get muted if you plug some headphones in the headphone jack, if that doesn't happen it is considered a bug as the new jack sense ... stuff ... is supposed to emulate the old and reliable hardware switch inside the jack. You may be able to pass some option to some module to override this though since everything is done in software now.

  • Disabling iTunes from automatically starting when Headphone plugged in

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite Ver 10.10.1. Whenever I plug in my Apple headphone it in, the iTunes automatically starts and I would like to disable the same. Some times its very much annoying where in, even if I am talking on FaceTime using my head phone, (I am guessing some small movements of headphone triggering this) the  iTunes starts automatically and the songs start to play during the FaceTime call.
    Does any one know how to disable the iTunes from not starting up automatically, whenever a Headphone is inserted into Mac. I can start iTunes whenever I want like any other application. But I just don’t want any automatic starting of iTunes, when I plug the headphone! Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks!

    I think the following solution seems to work:
    + Go to the  - System Preferences - Users and groups //Need admin privilege and unlock to edit etc.
    + Remove iTunes from Login Items
    + Click Login Items
    + then select iTunes Helper and then the - to remove the application
    + Force quit the iTunes if it was already running
    Problem did not seem to reoccur in my case. I have not restarted the mac but it seemed to work! Try yours and update please.

  • No sound except when headphones plugged in

    I just noticed that there is no sound on my phone except with earphones. The phone calls but I can't hear anything. I just started noticing this today. Alarm and timer sounds are okay.

    I have had this problem more than once, and from what I can tell it comes from unplugging headphones while playing music, talking on the phone or some combonation of all. What I have done to fix this is do just that, play music without headphones, plug them in, unplug them, play again etc. Just go through every possible combonation you can think of. Also if you use an fm transmitter that plugs into the docking port, then you need to use that in your tests as well. I can't tell you the right combination, cause I don't know excatly what it was to fix it, but this has happened to me twice, and I got sound back after both times.

  • Why does my internal speakers come on when i plug in my headphones?

    Why does my speakers only work?when i try to listen to music thru my headphoes it doesnt work, and my headphones are perfectly fine because i tested them out on other ipods.... and i even tried to push in the headphone flush but that doesnt work either. what do i do?!!??

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Rest. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Likely a bad headphone jack. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm
