Internal microphone and Webcam not working

Ive had my laptop for about 2years, i have a Toshiba Sattelite L840
Ive used skype to call and webcam but for some reason for the past week i havent been able to use it.
I checked my drivers installed, the Audio Input and Output have disappeared and so has imaging devices.
If anyone could help would be much appreciated, There are no hidden devices under the recording sound tabs, my webcam still lights up but it does not show images.
Ive also realised that my firewall is down, i click on the use recommended setting but it doesnt do anything
Please contact me if you know anything about fixing these problems

I don't actually have any information on that model because that wasn't sold here in the US. This is the Toshiba USA forum, and I believe that's from Toshiba Australia. You should contact them.

Microphone and Webcam not working/Webcam not recognized by YouCam

Hello,
I have a dv7-6c95dx and my YouCam program tells me that it does not recognize my integrated webcam. I have read all of the webcam forums on this site and clicked on all of the links people have posted in the forums. I have uninstalled the CyberLink YouCam program and it still comes up with the same messages. The webcam also does not show up in my device manager. The microphone is malfunction as well, it will not work any any programs including skype.
I have heard that the webcam can come unplugged internally, will that also cause the microphone to stop working? I have run out of options and I do not want to pay anyone to fix it. I would appreciate any advice on this subject.

Hi DillOrNoDill,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Notebook and sound and microphone issues and Webcam not working correctly. I would be happy to assist if needed. Try these steps first.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default

You could also try Microsoft troubleshooter located on your Notebook.

Microphone and webcam not working on Yoga S1 after windows 10 update

I have to admit I never tried the webcam since I got my Yoga which had win 8.1 originally installed on it, but with the update to windows 10, I'm trying more things out. I did install the camera driver from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-yoga?c=1 but no luck.I dont even see any kind of camera in device manager. The camera app just says "something is wrong" amd closes. I tried Skype and it also could not detect a working webcam. After installing windows 10, I did try Cortina and it had me go into microphone setup and it was working. However after subsequent updates, it no longer works. The micropphone levels are ll the way 100%, but when I try to setup the mic, I never see the level meters move when trying the speech test dictation,. Ive installed the Conexant drivers in the the above link, and also uninstalled them and tried to go back to what are the default microsoft drivers, neither seem to wor

Hey 22d05da3,
Hey I see that you're having an issue with the webcam and microphone.
This could be a hardware issue knowing both of these features are in the same module
But first,
Can you go to device manager then go under the section that says imaging devices and tell me if the webcam shows up under there. Also, check and see if there's any type of exclamation mark next to it.
Next, Go to the sound controllers section also and let me know if you can see the microphone underneath that.
Now, these two don't have drivers to install from the website. What you can do is uninstall these drivers from the device manager then restart your Notebook. It should install the drivers after you restart.
Also, if this doesn't work you can do a driver recover from the software. Here is a document to show you how to do that.
http://goo.gl/XjqLp
Go down to the section that says "Reinstall the original webcam program that came with your computer".
If any other issues come up before this like you can't find the drivers in the device manager. Go to the section on that document that says " Webcam is not listed in the device manager ".

DV9910US Audio and webcam not working.

Hello, I have worked for over a month on trying to restore a HP DV9910us. I even ordered the recovery CD from HP. I can not get the audio working or the webcam working. I have done extensive research online and tried every solution I found. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hello robc1042. I understand you're having some issues getting your audio and webcam to work.
You said that you've tried numerous solutions. Would you mind giving a quick list of the sorts of solutions you have tried? This will be helpful as I wouldn't want to suggest solutions you've already attempted.
You may even want to take a look at this thread. I posted this a little while back but it covers the solutions for a webcam not being detected. You may find it helpful.
To begin I would like to see if either the webcam or sound card is listed in Device Manager. Try the following.
Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
Expand the "Imaging Devices," "Sound, video, and game controllers," and "Other Devices" sections.
List what you see.
I will await your reply. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Satellite C650-197 Built In Microphone and Jacks not working

As the title, I tried to use the my microphone that comes inbuilt on this model (integrated VGA Web Camera with built-in microphone) and found its not working. Tried to plug in an external microphone via the mic jack and still not recording.
I cant seem to find the drivers for the inbuilt or the jack anywhere.
Any ideas?

Hi
> I cant seem to find the drivers for the inbuilt or the jack anywhere.
Such drivers dont exist. The sound card driver controls everything.
I think you should firstly start the webcam software and should test the mic because the internal mic is a part of the webcam.
The webcam software provides an tab; settings and properties. In one of these tabs you would find settings for audio.
There you could increase the mic volume and could record small audio session.
Additionally I recommend checking the settings in control panel -> sound.
Be sure that mic volume is set to max. Don't forget to check hidden and disabled devices there...

USB devices and Webcam not working or installing on Pavilion Laptop

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Dm3 1030 sa,
For a while now certain USB devices have just not worked on the laptop, specifically printers and mice, despite me reinstalling the drivers for those devices on the laptop. I tried the devices on other computers and they worked fine.
This was annoying but I put up with it.
Now the webcam and microphone have stopped working and are no longer recognised by the computer. I have reinstalled the webcam software but cannot find the drivers for it. The software (arc soft webcam) says the inbuilt webcam is not connected.
I have been able to get my iphone to connect via usb and usb drives work most of the time. I don't really know what is going on. When I look at devices that don't work in device manager It says that there is a USB I/O error. I have tried reinstalling the drivers using device manager but that didn't work either. Any advice would be appreciated. Not being able to use a mouse is annoying as track pads are slow.

Microphone and Audio not working on Windows 7 (x64)

Hi.
I uninstalled Windows 8 two days ago, trying to put again, on my bootcamp partition, Windows 7. The first time I tried the GPU just wouldn't work, so I installed everything AGAIN to make it work fine. I downloaded those "iMac Late 2009 for Windows 7 Drivers" from apple.com and it was pretty successful: GPU was working again and so did my native resolution, 2560x1440 (I have a 27" Late 2009 iMac with i3). When I tried to talk to one of my friends on Skype I found out the (internal) microphone wasn't working, and so did the audio (also internal). So I installed EVERY drivers I could (realtek, cirrus, bootcamp 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2, I took some drivers from Driver Genius). I don't really know what I have to do!
Please help me, I'm in a tremendous situation.
( sorry for the bad english, I'm italian.)

Che dice Windows nella finestra dei dispositivi audio? Per me l'errore (su Windows 8) era che diceva "no audio devices are installed". In quel caso bisogna fare right-click nello spazio di quella finestra e selezionare "show disabled devices" e "show disconnected devices". Quando ho fatto quello sono riapparsi sia il microfono sia i parlanti. Spero che ti abbia aiutato in qualche modo.

Internal Mic and Bluetooth not working together at the same time

Okay.. so I've been noticing this happen alot lately. Whenever I have my usb wacom tablet plugged in (which is almost always), there would be no internal mic input and bluetooth would become "not unavailable". Also, even when I try an external mic, there was no input. Could this be a coincidence or some related usb-bluetooth problem? Could it be my audio input or tablet driver problem?
I've used my mic to skype before I had installed the tablet. Also before I used garage band to record my sister's guitar with an external mic, there was no problem at all, and of course I didn't have my tablet plugged in at the time. Recorded a whole hours worth of music, and didn't have any problems.
Today.. I checked to see if my internal mic was working before I launched skype, and it was working perfectly, and I also noticed my bluetooth was available (didn't test it though). Then I went on skype talked to friend for about 20min, and suddenly the audio stop working. I had my tablet plugged in from earlier today. I restarted my macbook (with no tablet plugged in) and still mic input isn't working. I tried and external mic, but still nothing. I tried uninstalling skype, still nothing.
This is not the first time this happened, I noticed it would somehow fix itself after a few days every time, and mic and bluetooth would start working again out of nowhere. Which makes it even more weird.
Need help pleaseee!
PS. I tried getting someone to fix it before(a few months ago- I don't really use my mic or bluetooth much), but when I brought it in and started up my mac, at that time it was working again. But now it isn't working =(

UPDATE: I just noticed my bluetooth was no longer "unavailable", so I quickly went into system preferences, and noticed that my internal mic input had some input! Very weak though, only 1-2 bars. So what does this mean?

Dv7-6059eo, microphone and camera not working, have re-installed the system, updated drivers etc.

Hello. A couple of days ago, my microphone and camera suddenly stopped working. When I started up my camera in Skype, it said "Please open YouCam" or something like that, and when I did, it told me to update it. So I did. Then it told me that I had to uninstall the current version of YouCam. When I did and tried to install the update, it said something like "no video device detected".
After updating drivers and un-/installing things, I recovered my whole computer to fabric options. Still not working. So I suspect that it might have something to do with the hardware. Although I don't know what should have caused it, as it just happened randomly in the middle of the day.

Try the User Tip suggestions first. Your system does need a plist, but a properly working OS X automatically generates any needed plist files when you launch the associated app (if its plist does not already exist.)

TX2000 USB Ports, Digitizer and Webcam not working (several people have save problem)

OK folks this is an old problem that was posted on the old TX/TM board:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/TX-TM-Series-Notebooks-Reply/tx2000-usb-ports-digitizer-webcam-all-not-...
Several of us have had these ports/hardware fail.
****IT IS NOT A BLACK SCREEN FAILURE******
In my case, the motherboard has very low hours after replacement, full system reinstall, all drivers up to date. If you take the time to read all three pages, you will see that many of us have tried everything that anyone suggested. Most of us still believe that this is a software issue as opposed to a hardware issue.
Not much hope for a soulution, but thought I would try this board since the TX/TM board is now reply only and probably has a very low visit rate.

I also am not able to use the pen and touch features after doing a recovery manager to factory spec, everything else is good but like the others when trying to open Tablet Properties it gives the message a supported tablet was not found on the system, also after updating the digitizer from hp the version does not change it's still 6.1.6002.18005 when it's supposed to be 5.05-5_HP5 Rev.A.
I've unblocked the download in properties ran it as administrator,uninstalled the old driver, my USB works my Quick launch buttons work, the screen rotates, the bios is updated. ran HP Update it finds two updates -a HP update software utility and a critical update HP Photosmart and then nothing else when there are many many more at the software and driver page for the TX2000
Is HP being silent due to the class action lawsuit? Was that a perk that hp got for settling, that they no longer have to address any issue with this Tx2000 series?
As so many have wrote before...... NEVER AGAIN HP!

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

SQL 2012 SP1 - How to determine a query that causes Error 8623 in SQL Log: The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. This is a rare event...

We are getting multiple 8623 Errors in SQL Log while running Vendor's software.
How can you catch which Query causes the error?
I tried to catch it using SQL Profiler Trace but it doesn't show which Query/Sp is the one causing an error.
I also tried to use Extended Event session to catch it, but it doesn't create any output either.
Error:
The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that
reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer Support Services for more information.
Extended Event Session that I used;
CREATE EVENT SESSION
overly_complex_queries
ON SERVER
ADD EVENT sqlserver.error_reported
ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.database_id, sqlserver.username)
WHERE ([severity] = 16
AND [error_number] = 8623)
ADD TARGET package0.asynchronous_file_target
(SET filename = 'E:\SQLServer2012\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\XE\overly_complex_queries.xel' ,
metadatafile = 'E:\SQLServer2012\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\XE\overly_complex_queries.xem',
max_file_size = 10,
max_rollover_files = 5)
WITH (MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY = 5SECONDS)
GO
-- Start the session
ALTER EVENT SESSION overly_complex_queries
ON SERVER STATE = START
GO
It creates only .xel file, but not .xem
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated

Hi VK_DBA,
According to your error message, about which query statement may fail with error message 8623, as other post, you can use trace flag 4102 & 4118 for overcoming this error. Another way is looking for queries with very long IN lists, a large number of
UNIONs, or a large number of nested sub-queries. These are the most common causes of this particular error message.
The error 8623 occurs when attempting to select records through a query with a large number of entries in the "IN" clause (> 10,000). For avoiding this error, I suggest that you could apply the latest Cumulative Updates media for SQL Server 2012 Service
Pack 1, then simplify the query. You may try divide and conquer approach to get part of the query working (as temp table) and then add extra joins / conditions. Or You could try to run the query using the hint option (force order), option (hash join), option
(merge join) with a plan guide.
For more information about error 8623, you can review the following article.
