Internal microphone doesn't release control

When I try to use an external microphone (Bluetooth or USB) the internal microphone don't release control to the external microphone. thus I then have two microphones receiving input from both microphones and my programs can't recognize my speech to input.
Can anybody help?

i got a macbook pro, 2 weeks ago, the 2.53Ghz unibody aluminium, the desing of this mac is great even tough the system specs are really low for the price actually, im happy with it(the hardware)...
The only reason i got this is cause apple claims to support windows, i like Mac OS, but i work on windows i need it... if theres no windows capability in mac i wouldnt ever buy one, so this issue is really bothering me A LOT. my impresions about apple are changing after seing this topic filled with questions and not a single moderator answer, go and check a logitech forum and see how they take care about user problems.

  • Internal Microphone doesn't work (after installing Boot Camp 3.1)

    I have installed Boot Camp 3.1, and after this installation, my internal mic doesn't work (ONLY IN WINDOWS XP).
    I tried to fix the problem with several manners (hardware test in CONTROL PANEL / SOUND .../ VOICE TAB / VOICE RECORDING; reinstalling drivers and hardware etc), but I can't get success (for example, the test results: SORRY, NO SOUND IN MIC...).
    On the other hand, when I boot as Mac (Snow Leopard), I can use the mic (in skype, for example), without problem.
    I note that ear plug (connector in the back of the iMac) doesn't work too.
    Somebody can help me in this case ?

  • Internal microphone Pavilion 9760 doesn't work

    After upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the internal microphone doesn't work. In Configuration Panel, Sound, tab Recordind it says: no devices are found. Speakers and webcam work perfectly. Seems like Windows can't see the mic. Anyone a solution?

    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a printed part number and a product name. Please post one or both of them (with all alphanumeric characters here).

  • Macbook pro 15" (5,1) internal microphone not working on Lion 10.7.3

    Ever since i updated to lion (currently 10.7.3) the internal microphone doesn't seem to be working at all!
    but here's the thing... if i TAP the computer near where the microphone is located (to the left of the keyboard) it does capture some sort of noise/sound on it, which means "it's working" also if I do some test recordings through garage band i do get those tappings and a little bit of static/dead air on it, not silence.
    I've been working with my iphone's headphones, but it would really be nice to have a permanent solution for this situation

  • DV9930US Internal Microphone not working (Vista & Windows7)

    Hi,
    I've had my DV9930US for awhile, but up until recently, I haven't used either the webcam or the internal microphone.
    I'm preparing for a trip, so I thought I'd see if I could get something like Skype setup, but I'm finding that the internal microphone doesn't seem to work (doesn't hear anything).   Audio output seems to work fine, and, also, if I plug an external microphone into the jack in the front, under the keyboard, that seems to work...  it's just the internal microphones (there are two, I think, at the top of the display, surrounding the webcam) that are not working ...
    Everything seems to be ok in Device Manager.  Under "Sound", I have "Realtek High Definition Audio".  The driver is dated 1/15/08, V6.0.1.5548.
    I've tried testing with Sound Recorder, and I've also tested using the "Configure Microphone", but it never shows any bars, and the file that Sound Recorder recorded is basically silent.
    I still have the original Vista Home Premium on this machine and also Windows 7 Ultimate (I dual  boot), and even the original Vista seems to have the same problem.
    I've seen some posts here with problems with G60s, but no resolutions, so I was wondering if anyone might know what
    the problem might be?
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Hi,
    For the record, I finally found the problem.
    In the DV9930US, there's a small (1"x1") PCB called the "power button board".  This has the power button, and 3 pinned connectors, plus a flat cable connector.
    The microphones in the display bezel connect to one of the 3 pinned connectors, and the flat cable goes, I think to the actual audio board.
    I had replaced the microphones, which didn't fix the problem, so I bought a replacement power button board, which luckily, came with a new flat cable.
    It turned out that the original flat cable going from the power button board to the audio board was bad. 
    I replaced the flat cable, and then the internal mics worked.

  • Internal Microphone Not Working On Presario CQ40-303AU

    Hello guys, I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I duplicate certain topics.
    Anyways, I have a Compaq Presario CQ40-303AU. Internal microphone doesn't seem to be working. I have installed the updated IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver. Internal Microphone Array is set as default for Recording Device. Audio not muted. Mic volume on 100 too. But there's still no sound whenever I try to do a recording. What could possibly be wrong? Please, I need help desperately! Thank you.

    I'm sorry. I would like to add. The laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate in it. Since I got this laptop second hand, I'm not sure if the former owner upgraded this from an older OS.
    Thanks again.

  • Jabber Reads Internal Microphone but doesn't work in calls

    Jabber is reading the Internal Microphone from the laptop with moving bars and everything showing that the is sound coming through.
    However when the user makes a call to anyone she can hear them fine but they cant hear her speaking through the laptop internal mic.
    If she uses an external mic though it works totally fine and her voice goes through in calls it just doesn't work with the internal mic even though Jabber is picking it up.

    hi rarredondo1,
    This can happen if another program is using the MIC at the same time.  I would make sure all programs are closed out when using the CJV software.
    Not sure if this is on a MAC, but I would also make sure the settings are using the internal MIC when in a call.  
    If this is on a Windows Computer, make sure the MIC is set to internal computer MIC instead of some other setting.  Conflicting settings could create this issue. 
    Regards,
    Jason

  • I've a iMac 27', summer of 2012, and my garageband doesn't record by the internal microphone, what can I do, to resolve this problem?

    i've a iMac 27', summer of 2012, and my garageband doesn't record by the internal microphone, what can I do, to resolve this problem?
    only for contextualize, in other softwares the microphone record correctly like quicktime, or in facetime, even photobooth. but in garage band not.
    i dont know if its a problem of the software, an error of actualization, or a bad configuration. please give me a hand.
    cheers.

    Did you choose the mic as the input device in Garageband Preferences?

  • My macbook air doesn't let me use the internal microphone

    My macbook air doesn't let me use the internal microphone while my headphones are plugged in.  The reason I want to use the internal mic is that the person I talk to can hear me louder if I used the internal mic.  Can someone help please ASAP?  Thanks.

    I assume you're using the 3 slot mini jack of the Apple earbuds/ mic.    Use a 2 slot headphone jack that doesn't make contact with the the microphone contact in the headset jack on the AIr.
    The Air has a HEADSET jack, in which either headphones or headsets can be used.

  • Internal Microphone in Lenovo T400 - Doesn't work

    Hello everyone!
    Thanks for your attention and reading this thread,
    Since I made a rescue and recovery from my laptop, after a while I did it, my internal microphone stopped working, and yesterday with Lenovo online support we did everything in hand to try and solve it but apparently the next step is to take it to technical support and frankly that takes a lot of time not to mention the problems I have with them after it such as lots of missing screws in the laptop frame.
    What we did was to test it, uninstall the Conexant driver, download new one, install, update Windows, nothing fixed it.
    However, as a suggestion I did another recovery again, but Microphone is still dead.
    The external microphone works perfectly.
    And since I've been reading that other people have the same problem, from what I can see it just seems to be a Conexant software problem?
    I've got Windows 7 Pro, Lenovo T400, High Definition Audio (after I uninstalled Conexant and still no luck with internal microphone of High Audio?) I don't know what other information can be useful to solve this?
    Is it possible that a Windows setting is interefering?
    Thank you very much for your response,
    Sincerely,
    Eduardo

    Maybe the hardware broke? Get an Ubuntu live USB or live CD and boot into it. Try to record sounds from there.

  • Re: Portege M800: WebCam driver doesn't support internal microphone on 64bit OS

    Hi All!
    I have the problem that the internal microphone of the webcam (Chicony) is not working in 64 bit systems (Vista or Windows7).
    Has someone a fix for that?
    Best regards,
    Sven

    I had what sounds like exactly the same problem and seem to have solved it. You may have tried this already but here's how I got my internal mic working for my Portege M800 on a 64bit OS:
    -I went to (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU)
    -I downloaded the latest audio/sound driver and installed it.
    -Then I went back to (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU)
    -I then downloaded the latest webcam driver and installed it.
    - I restarted my computer and it worked perfectly. Upon opening Skype, the program automatically noticed a "new" microphone.
    Hopefully this is of some help to you.
    Good luck with it.

  • T400 Internal mic doesn't work

    brandnew T400, 2 Duo P8700.
    The internal mic doesn't work.  I tried to use the sound recorder, and there is no voice.
    I clicked      control panel->sound-> recording,   then the screen displays the  interanl Microphone is working.  but when I use the sound recorder, still nothing recorded.
    Then I double clicked  the internal microphone -> levels, the drag the bar of microphone and microphone boost all to the very right.  Still the internal microphone doesnt  work.
    The speaker is working fine. It is a brandnew laptop.

    Good suggestion on removing the driver then clean install the simple driver.
    I have been having the same problem with recent new releases of the Conexant Audio Driver for HD on a T500.
    Not sure when tech support will get around to fixing the problem. I have tried every combination of Add/Remove, Device Manager Remove, and even Rollback, but the problem persists... The internal microphone gets muted no matter what one does in configuration. You can get playback of audio from CDs and audio files, but the microphone gets disconnected from the system when you install the latest versions.
    The following versions will disconnect the internal microphone in T500s:
           v 3.64.10.0
           v 3.64.10.51    (the latest release)
    The only stable version appears to be v 3.64.7.0 for T500s.
    IBM Lenovo does appear to post previous versions of all Conexant Audio Drivers.
    I got lucky, since I keep copies of all previous installs available in order to revert back to a version that is stable.
    The suggestion made by this board to install the simple Conexant driver (v 3.53.0.0) is appropriate.
    Thanks for the link. I am keeping a copy handy just in case.

  • No sound recorded on the internal microphone after SoundMAX driver update (Windows XP)

    My internal microphone is not picking up sound after I upgraded my SoundMAX driver (available from the Lenovo website here) to version 5.10.1.571.*  It looks like this was a problem before and was supposedly fixed in 5.10.1.5520 which is included in the version I have.
    I have tested the audio through the Control Panel utility, i.e., Sounds and Audio Devices Properties - Voice - Test hardware.  No dice: my voice could not be detected.  I also tested via the Windows XP sound recorder utility, i.e., Accessories - Entertainment - Sound Recorder.  Same result: silence.
    In the Control Panel's Sounds and Audio Devices Properties, I have verified that the Default device for Audio and Voice (playback and recording) all are set to "SoundMAX HD Audio."  The SoundMAX software that ships with this laptop (also called "control panel") is very scaled back.  There doesn't appear to be anything interesting there to adjust.
    Thanks in advance.
    * I updated the driver because I was troubleshooting my original problem.  My plug and play Logitech laptop speaker suddenly stopped working.  Alas, that problems remains and I have created a new one.

    Hello,
    Here versions of the Audio Features for Windows XP driver that I was able to find:
    5.10.1.5410 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka112ww.exe
    5.10.1.5520 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka114ww.exe
    5.10.1.5670 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka113ww.exe
    5.10.1.5710 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka116ww.exe
    Hopefully, one of these will work for you.

  • Microphone doesn't work when unplugged and plugged in

    I was trying to record something the other day and was wondering why I had to have the gain on the microphone turned up so high. After a while I figured out that audacity was recording with my internal microphone (dell laptop). I tried using the external one and finally got it to work if I had it plugged in when I rebooted. The second I would unplug it and plug it back in though my computer would start recording off my internal microphone. So, I can use the external as long as I don't unplug it after I have booted. What???
    `amixer scontrols` gives this:
    Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
    Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
    Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
    Simple mixer control 'Mic Jack Mode',0
    Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
    Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0
    Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Playback Source',0
    Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
    Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
    Simple mixer control 'Mux',0
    Simple mixer control 'PC Beep',0
    There is only one capture listed, and I'm thinking there needs to be two. When I was using Ubuntu I know there was two, but I didn't really pay attention on Arch. Also, here is the output from `arecord --list-devices`:

    I also updated alsa some time ago, which I'm not sure if it has anything to do with, but from a recording I did on December 5 which doesn't sound like it has all the hum I get now I assume it had something to do with the upgrade.

    Does anybody know why this is happening?

    I had similar problems after a recent upgrade. I hadn't tried rebooting with the mic plugged in, but all I get now is static and hum when I go to record. I'm working on my desktop and both the front and back plugs give the same results. I couldn't find anything in the alsa package changes that would have done it and am not that familiar with alsa to begin with. Any alsa experts? I also lost a device on upgrade. :-/

  • IMac internal microphone problems

    I have a recurring issue with the internal microphone in my iMac. Occasionally, it will just stop working and won't pick up any sounds. The two resolutions I've found are to either unplug and re-plug the external speakers I have connected (strange) or, when that doesn't work, to restart the computer (less strange). Has anyone had a similar problem with their iMac? Adjusting the settings in the sound control panel does nothing to make this work. It seems that this is a software problem, since it's always fixed by restarting, but of course I'd like to find some way to fix this without having to restart. Thanks.

    I am encountering similar issues, looking at the sound preference pane, I can see that the microphone is showing noise, this is duplicated on a skype test call... just noise no external sound is being picked up. Steps I have taken so far are:
    Zapped the PRAM
    Thrown away my sound preferences
    Ran software update
    Restarted the iMac a few times
    Another thing to note is that the microphone was working ok this morning, then the sound started to degrade and now just noise.
    Thanks in advance for any help or direction to solve this!
    Cheers,
    Sean
