Internal mic "not plugged in" Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4056

I have reviewed post after post on this issue, however none of them have referenced my specific model and I want to make sure that I do the correct thing to get this mic working. The Recording info is Conexant SmartAudio HD and the mic is "not plugged in." I've never used an external mic so it has to be something with driver or updates ... I don't know. I just know that I have tried everything else like updating driver, uninstalling and reinstalling driver, system restore, etc., etc. Please help me with what I need to do for my specific model. Thank you.

I seem to have fixed it, thanks.

L655D-S5050 Internal Mic Not Plugged In? Stumped!

I reviewed related forum posts without success. My Toshiba laptop L655D-S5050 hard drive failed a few months ago so I replaced the hard drive. The recovery disks I originally made did not work (no apparent reason why) so I ended up reinstalling drivers / software from this toshiba site.
This laptop has a little microphone up there next to the web camera which "use to be" great for skype.
Everything (speakers, webcam, etc) seems to work fine except that microphone!
When I right click on the sound icon and select Recording Devices it shows Microphone Not Plugged In. How can I plug that little mic in? Or get it to work?
I borrowed my wife's USB Plantronics headset and it does show up as a working device below the "microphone not plugged in". I have since used this headset to skype but I want the little built in mic to work so I dont need to steal her headset (happy wife - happy life).
I read these forums and uninstalled and reinstalled the realtek driver - even used different releases from the Toshiba downlaods for my specific laptop. I also updated the bios (per a few forum threads) to the latest which didn't work. Then I installed a previous version bios to see if that would work. No such luck - Microphone Not Plugged In.
Is there some software I need to install different than a driver?
Thanks in advance - Mark

Dransh, it's not clear from your last message if after you loaded BIOS defaults, whether or not you disabled 'fast boot' or 'quick boot', or whatever you called it, or did you re-enable it ? Regardless, make sure to disable fast boot, save and exit. Reboot into Windows.
Click the 'Start' button, type in dev , click on 'Device Manager', click on the arrow beside 'Sound, video and game controllers', right click on the 'Conexant audio' device, click on 'Uninstall', put the check mark on 'Delete the driver software for this device', click 'OK', Shutdown the system.
Try the full system reset again with fast boot disabled, follow the instructions from before, boot into Windows, install the Conexant audio driver again, test.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Need Windows XP SP2 drivers for Satellite L645D-S4056

Hi,
I bought a Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4056 with Windows 7 installed. I need to re-format in install Windows XP SP2 to work with my software, and I need all the drivers. The website does not provide the XP drivers. Please help. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

According to the Toshiba the specs for your model, they included Windows 7 Home Premium edition with your new laptop. I don't know if you could get a full set Windows XP drivers for your quite new laptop, I personally doubt it.
I would suggest upgrading to Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate editions, both of which allow you to run in XP mode, for XP only compatible software.

Internal Mic not Working, external mic quits arbitrarily, I'm at wit's end!!!!

Hey kids!
The Computer: Toshiba Satellite A355D-S69221
The Program: 32 Bit Windows Vista
The issue: Internal Mic not recognized, external mic quits midway through conversation, Realtek Digital output not plugged in.
So being the smart guy I am, a few weeks back I decided to do the smart thing and delete all the speech recognition software off this thing. I don't need it, so wth.
Now, my internal mic quit. I reinstalled the software, rolled back drivers, deleted drivers to rebuild the driver stack, did a BIOS update, did the GTA ViceCity cheatcode start (unplug everything hold power key 30 seconds, reboot, f2 to enter bios, f9 to update, f10 to save), and nothing.
I did notice that when I had the Realtek Digital Output set as standard, my mic jack was illuminated by a red LED, and the Realtek HD manager wouldn't pop up when I plug something in.
The last irritating part is that I will talk to my wife via vo/ip, the external mic I am using will just quit mid conversation, and I have to reload a driver to get it to work again. I am at my wit's end with this thing, can anyone help? The last thing I am goign to do is another system restore from an earlier date than I used before. Does anyone have any other hints/clues/ideas?
KFD

Thanks Jeff. No this isn't some kind of emergency so no one really minds my tinkering until it does get back up.
OK, I got it now. This is what my cyrus.conf looks like. It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it...
# standard standalone server implementation

# do not delete this entry!

But yet it insists with the message: relay=cyrus, delay=239180, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: No such file or directory_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_ )
when I try to send a message through the server. Could this be a permissions thing? I've fixed the permissions a lot of times and nothing seems to get changed...
Again, thanks for everyone's help. I'm sure this is something dumb that I'm just missing but since I'm not familiar enough with the system it's hard for me to figure out what that is!

Internal mic not working after updating to 10.10.1

After updating to 10.10.1 (from 10.10) on my MacBook pro 2010 (15” screen) the internal mic is not working when using FaceTime (or Skype) and so the person on the other end of the video/audio call is unable to hear me. On my end there is a static/crackly sound during FaceTime (or Skype) connecting since the update which I believe is related to the mic problem (no sound input on Mac during FaceTime/Skype).
HELP!!!

I had exactly this same issue and and this workaround from Paul on another thread (Internal Mic not working for phone calls in Yosemite ) solved it :
Make sure FaceTime App is not running
Open Terminal
type sudo killall coreaudiod
Press Return
Enter your computer's admin PW

Hello schneids,
I see that you are having start up problems with your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with your issues.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your issues.
If you are still having trouble I would suggest testing the power adapter or trying a different power adapter. Most retailers will let you try a power adapter on the computer to see if it works.
Let me know what happens.

X220 Internal Mic not working

I had just get a new X220 in recent days.
And I found the internal mic not working, I can not record any sound through Sound Record or Skype.
I had tried all the following methods, but the mic still can not working. Anyone cound give me some suggestion ?
1) update sound card driver to 8.32.23.2
2) Fn+F6, change between "only my voice" or "Multiple voice"
4) UnInstall source card driver and use microsoft generic driver
3) The method in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-internal-mic-problem/td-p/435551/page/..., operate like :
Start -> control Panel -> Sound
Click on the "Recording" tab
Click Internal Microphone to highlight it
Click Properties
Click the "Advanced" tab
Uncheck "Enable audio enhancements"
Finally, click the "Levels" tab and turn Microphone Boost to 0dB. (if you don't do this the noise will be even louder than before).
Click apply.

hey kitewind,
welcome to the forums and since you have tested the microphone using microsoft generic drivers and i'm guessing it did not work; therefore the best action for you right now is to contact our tech support group via

Toshiba satellite a215-s4757 internal mic not working

So up until a couple weeks ago, my internal mike on my computer was working fine. Then the other day when I tried to use skype it would not work. When I go into sound->recording devices it says that the "front mic" is not plugged in. When I click on it thought it says it is working properly. I tried to download and install the driver from toshiba and it said that it installed correctly but this did not fix my problem. I read here that some other people have been downloading a new BIOS and that that helped? would that be able to help my computer? i have windows vista home premium 32 bit i believe. any help would be appreciated

Let's just try a proper system reset and see if this helps bring your mic back. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, when you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows, and test your mic again.
Please let us know if this helps. Good luck.

Re: Satellite C650D - internal mic not working

Hello forum
When i was trying to mute the internal mic, I accidently removed the mic and its driver completely a few days from now,
and after reinstalling the driver i cannot get the mic to pick up sounds.
I'm not even sure if the internal mic is visible in the "recording devices" tab, what I see is "Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD".
Might be the internal one, might also just be the external mic i use sometimes.
Help me please.

Hi mate
You can try to reinstall the Conexant sound driver again. Usually this should detect all sound devices and mic even if it was disabled previously!
The necessary driver can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
Another tip:
You should check the audio settings in Control Panel -> Sound -> recording tab
Here you should see two entries: internal mic and external mix which should not be enabled/detected if the external mic was not connected.
The internal mic should be set as default!

Internal Microphone "Not Plugged In". *No help needed anymore*

edit: no help needed anymore
Hello. My internal microphone stopped working ever since I stopped using the default Toshiba version of Windows 7.
I have downloaded all the correct drivers for my Toshiba L750-BT4N22, especially the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver.
My internal microphone shows up in sounds/hardware, but it says "Not Plugged In". Also, every once in a while my sound get's choppy when I "seek" or move fast through a video file.
Could use some help, thanks.

I seem to have fixed it, thanks.

LINUX : Webcam mic non-functional on Toshiba Satellite T215D-S1150

I've been trying to get the webcam mic on my Toshiba Satellite T215D-S1150 notebook/netbook to work in Linux Mint 9 Isadora KDE 64-bit to no avail. My model has a Realtek ALC269 audio chipset combined with an ATI southbridge ( ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) ) using the "snd_hda_intel" kernel module. I've attempted using basically every combination of settings in "alsamixer" that makes sense. In addition to that, I've tried adding the "options snd-hda-intel model=" parameter in "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" starting with "basic" and trying every combination of "Input Source." I've also tried the "auto", "lenovo", "toshiba" and "3stack" models, but nothing works -- In each instance I get nothing when I try "arecord -t wav -f cd filename" and/or try-to-capture-sound/access-the-mic in eg. VLC Media Player or Skype where in the case of VLC I've tried "Open Capture Device..." where I've tried every possible audio device node with "Audio device name" and in the case of Skype I've tried "Skype Test Call."
My ALSA system information for the default model and the model "basic" respectively can be accessed here :
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5a7e986d7cad81213d2ef64f02ae478c7994c4d7
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f334a100b0c173875d838e57e42e7c23d98da8b7
Currently I'm at a loss as to what the problem is or what further action to take.
I'd be grateful for any assistance.
Thanks,

Most of the webcams support what is called 'UVCVideo' which is a generic video device; the generic video driver in the Linux kernel is able to support the webcam. Some manufacturers may put legacy cameras which requires a few extra steps from the customer's side.
Regarding the mic not working; audio/sound support is handled by the Linux kernel and the ALSA subsystem, http://www.alsa-project.org/ New audio hardware come with small variations which require equally small adaptations in ALSA. The laptop manufacturers tend not to help with this small information and it is up to the customers to inform the ALSA project.
For both devices, try out the latest version of Linux (such as the Ubuntu 10.04 distribution) in case these have been resolved from the work of other customers.
For the webcam, run the command 'lsusb' in a terminal window in order to identify the exact identification details. From those details it is possible to decide what to do next.
For the mic issue, if it is not resolved in Ubuntu 10.04, there is a process to extract the full hardware details of the sound card and use those details to help solve the problem.
You would need to execute the command
wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
and then post the resulting file to a forum to help you. This forum does not support attachments, so when you are prompted above to send the details to www.alsa-info.org, select Yes and post here the URL with those details.

Internal mic not working on macbook pro

Hello,
A few days ago I was trying to use my macspeech dictate software on my new macbook pro for the first time, I had to plug in the mic it came with and it would not work. Now my internal mic will not work at all in any other programs. I made sure it was selected under system preferences but for some reason it does not pick up on any sounds. I have my computer all up to date with version 10.6.8. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thank you

I doubt that the update did it, My daughter Macbook has it too and it is a general update of Yosemite. But, if you can backup your files you could go to the restore partition and reinstall Yosemite. The reinstall only installs the operating system and usually does not alter any of the other files. But having a backup is always a good idea. You can start by holding down Option or Option R at startup to do the reinstall.I cannot tell you that this will fix the internal mic problem as it could be that it is defective.

Internal mic not available with Apple headphones

Hi there! I hope somebody can clear this up for me.
I often use my Apple headphones with the built-in mic to monitor my recordings on GarageBand (like listening to one track as I record another over it), but I use the internal mic to record rather than the external mic on the headphones. However, now when I plug the headphones in, there is no option for me to use the internal mic on the computer. I've looked on the system preferences and on the GarageBand preferences, and no amount of jimmying with the settings will let me record through the internal mic while having playback through the headphones. I know the headphones are somewhat damaged due to my wearing them when I exercise (the sweat and all). Is it that the headphones are damaged, or that the computer has a problem which is making using the internal mic with the headphones not an option? What should I do to fix it? Thanks so much for your help!

Please Apple fix this problem, this has been bugging me for a long time.. No solution so far...

Internal Mic not showing up at all

cannot find the internal mic on my A215-s5837 any where in the sounds option or in the device manager. I installed an webcam and mic. The webcam works great but the mic is not working at all nor can the computer see it. I am running Windows 7.

I hope you backed up before this happened.
Okay solution to get info back.
Go to ebay and get one of the laptop hd to desktop hd connectors about $6-12 or a USB/FIREWIRE ($25 max) external enclosure for 2.5" drives as then you can install a new drive and still try to access it via USB/FIREWIRE
This will work if you have a desktop Win or Apple and then you can use a descent software to access it.
If not then send it to the manufacturer and then can make a backup for you or take the disc platter looking like a dvd / cd and place it in a new working device so you can get access as likely the motor died on the hd or the circuit board/firmware is bust but the disc platter might be in tackt.
Good Q? does the drive spin up ?
I have seen that a good format "erase can get life out of it " but it does not help for info/files.
PS: if you have tiger do not use panther disk utility as there is different thingy's they use and this does screw up a drive but nothing a erase/format can not fix.
