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.

  • Internal Mic not detected for G60-535DX

    I accidentally disabled my internal audio sound options, and now it's not showing up at all.  When I go to Start>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Manage Audio Devices>Recording it tells me "no audio devices are installed"
    I tried installing the Audio drivers to see if that would fix it Conexant Pebble High Definition SmartAudio.  It installed, I restarted, and the mic still isn't showing up.  Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem with my internal mic. It was not listed as an option on the sound input panel. I solved the problem by going to System Preferences; clicking on "Speech"; then, under "speech recognition", choose "internal microphone" in the microphone menu; then click the "calibrate" button. Go back into the "Sound" panel and, hopefully, the internal mic will be an option.
    I have to admit that I explored the rest of the options in the speech panel, but I believe that the calibration in the speech panel did the trick. I have external speakers for output and the mic now works great.

  • Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain.  Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
    As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
    Wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Now try to configure the AirPort again.  If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

    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

  • 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?

    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!
    recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"

    # this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions
    tlsprune cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
    LIMITS {
    imaplimit value=0
    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!

  • HT4759 change do not show up on all my divices like contacts

    change do not show up on all my divices like contacts

    Are you saying that changes to your contacts are not syncing to your other devices?  If so, you need to make sure that the contacts you are changing belong to the iCloud account.  To do this, open the contacts app on your device and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account.

  • Why is my website not showing up AT ALL in Google?

    I uploaded my website at the beginning of this week and it's working OK, but not showing up at all in Google.  It is not so much an SEO question, because even if I google the exact website, it still doesn't show.
    I have no idea what I did wrong, but I assume it's a meta data issue.  What should I have filled out in the HTML for <head> box?  It's blank now.
    Thanks!!!

    You didn't do anything wrong most likely. It takes time to get indexed. Could be months depending on how your site is optimized, your content and traffic you generate to it.

  • Accordion not showing up at all in IE6

    I have a standard accordion set up at
    www.taradeal.com/pow.html
    and it works fine in Safari and Firefox, but does not show up at

    Well, it seems to be a bug in the handling of the XML file
    contents. I fixed it by changing the code in SpryData.js to force a
    "manual" parse of the XML code. Not a good solution, but I don't
    know the codebase well enough to find the root of the problem. I
    know that the firstChild.nodeValue is "Object required" but I can't
    figure out who sets that and why. Maybe no ActiveX object?

  • Some Devices are not showing up at all in the Discovery reports

    Hi all,
    The first time I ran the CS device discovery I got 50 reachable devices. I scheduled the Device Discovery to be run every week. I added more subnets to the discovery but unfortunately the last discovery shows only 31 devices from the first discovered devices (50). I checked the DCR and there is only 44 devices out of the 50!
    My question is:
    Should not the scheduled Device Discovery discovers all devices -the previously discovered ones and the new ones-?
    Why the rest of the devices are not showing up at all in the discovery reports (neither reachable nor unreachable) although all of them are pingable and responding to the snmpwalk tool from the CWLMS server.
    Your kindly respond is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I ran the discovery again with the same settings after enabling debugging and I checked the following log files:
    1. in the ngdiscovery.log I found a lot of errors all about Duplicate IpAddress example:
    ERROR  [DeviceManager : EvalTask-DiscoveryThreadPool-06 addNewDevice]  : Duplicate IpAddress (127.0.0.51) found in addNewDevice().Device 1 ip = 10.8.113.29 , id1 = 127.0.0.51*F1COR.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283, Device 2 ip = 10.8.113.106 , id2 = 127.0.0.51*LCD.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283

    2. in the CSDiscovery.log:
    Error while changing the permission of the file C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\csdiscovery\1348\DiscoveryStatusObj
    I checked the file and the casusers has a Modify permission
    My Question is:
    1. what is the meaning of those output exactly?
    2. If CWLMS found duplicatedd IP address how it works in terms of (ignoring, updating existing devices, Adding the new devices, ... etc)
    Many thanks for your help.

  • 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).

    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.

  • When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

    When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

    It's a bit hit and miss, Walter. Sometimes the box to enter text shows up straight away in the inspector under "text". Other times, although you click "text" in the inspector, there's nowhere to actually write anything.... then what you have to do is move the trackbar over the Title Box until you see the text boxes in the main Viewer. In the Viewer, double click a text box.... you can enter text there, but it's a bit flaky, but when you've clicked in it, you'll find that under "Text" in the inspector, the box for inputting text has magically appeared!
    I'm not sure if anyone else has this trouble, but it is a bit of a pain!
