Internal microphone no longer works-G6031EA

The internal mic on my G6031EA is no longer working,I am sure it worked when I first puchased the machine. I now want to use Skype but do not have the use of the internal microphone.I have gone through all of the recomended checks and all seems to be ok, it tells me that the speakers and microphone are both enabled and working. Has anyone any ideas what might be causing the problem? I would be gratefull for any advice.
Regards

  • My internal microphone no longer works after loading Skype to my MacBook Pro... What to do now???

    I use my internal microphone on my MacBook Pro very often, especially in programs like GarageBand, Audacity and Photo Booth. However, yesterday after attempting to use Skype (for the very first time) my internal microphone does not work properly in any program. The only time it responds is when I tap the area directly above the microphone.
    - I've already checked the settings in System Preferences
    - I deleted all files associated with Skype
    - I've tried holding the "option + command + r + p" while starting the computer
    - I've delete the "com.apple.soundpref.plist" file in the user library
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and knows of a definite fix, or can someone at least offer any other suggestions that may work?
    Thank You!

    The only time it responds is when I tap the area directly above the microphone.
    Sounds like a hardware problem.  Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, call them up and let them deal with it.

  • Microphone no longer works after upgrade to windows 8.1

    After upgrade to windows 8.1 my internal microphone no longer works.
    I tried installing updates suggested in other posts with similar driver problems but they did not work.
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-en-11.51.0048 did not work.
    My internal microphone is IDT High Definition Audio Codec
    When I go through the control panel  and look at it - it shows a status of "not plugged in"
    Please help 
    thanks

    OK I am a little confused.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L500-1PU - internal microphone does not work

    I have an L500 -1PU Toshiba, running on 32 bit Windows 7,
    The webcam is working wonderfully but the internal microphone is not working properly.
    I had an external microphone so i hadn't noticed this problem when i got on skype, but i've recently discovered that when using the webcam the person on the other end can hear faint noises from my computer when i'm playing music or watching a video clip.
    How can i solve this and get my microphone working properly such that i can control the volume and actually get full service from my otherwise decent notebook?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Possibly this Toshiba FAQ could help you:
    +Whistling sound on the Satellite L500+
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UB0001R01.htm
    Its a matter of the settings.
    This issue occurs if the microphone volume in the speakers properties is enabled.
    After disabling this point the issue with acoustic feedback does not appear anymore.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions?

    I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.

    I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
    I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).

    Hi,

    I have been searching the web extensively, without success, to find how to resolve this issue.
    I recently installed Windows 7, 32 bit, on my wife's HP Pavilion dv6748us laptop. Now her internal microphone does not work.
    Have gotten some "roadside" advice to use a Windows Vista driver; Have no idea what the driver is or how to get it.
    Have found some information about uninstalling realtek audio driver and reinstalling an older version; Have no idea on this one either.
    Would really appreciate a definitive answer with a positive result.
    Thanks for all help.
    The drivers for the laptop are located here. select Vista and Driver-audio. The Vista driver should work.  You can uninstall the driver from within the Device manager. Start --> type devmgmt.msc and the device manager will open. Locate the HD audio device and right-click it and update the driver.
    After that is done go to Control Panel and Sound and the recording tab up top.  Check to see if the microphone is grayed out. (not grayed out means driver is properly installed). The microphone should also have a green checkmark next to it.  It is now a matter of selecting the microphone then selecting Properties to enable the microphone and then  test and adjust the input level. Look at the tabs (listen,levels and advanced).
    Had you considered trying Windows update or the Realtec website as a drivers source?

    Hi:
    Looking at your system information you could have one of two possible audio cards:
    Conexant HD audio or the RealTek HD Audio
    The fact that you couldn't install the RealTek HD audio driver indicates to me that you don't have a RealTek audio card. Check your device manager and look at your sound card and check to make sure which audio card you have.
    Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Conexant audio card:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Realtek audio card:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    If you in fact have the Realtek audio card, I would download and install the latest, greatest HD driver directly from the RealTek site:
    Accept the agreement, download and install the first one on the list. Maybe it has been updated to fix the issue you are experiencing.

  • External microphone no longer works; did before with this MBP.

    Yes, I've read* about how Macs have line-level inputs, not mic-level in several threads while trying to solve my problem.  But the thing is, it used to work.
    The same headset (unpowered microphone) used to work just fine.  Was there once a 'boost' checkbox in System Prefs...Sound, where now there's just an input volume slider?
    I guess my memory could be wrong, or I was using the internal mike, but I'm pretty **** sure it worked with my MacBookPro4,1, and I tested to be sure I wasn't using the internal mike.
    *e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/6286820#6286820 or https://discussions.apple.com/message/8785782#8785782

    I ended up buying a USB device for a few bucks on eBay on amazon, and it's working great. 
    $2.24 + Free Shipping is a pretty good workaround!

  • Internal Microphone No Longer Recognized.

    I used to be on Skype all the time with no problems, but I got on tonight to talk with some friends and my mic wasn't working. Checked the sound input and the option for the internal microphone was gone. I tried calibrating it under System Preferences > Speech but there wasn't even an option to calibrate the internal mic. What do I do?
    (I have OS X 10.6.8)

    My camera and mic work fine.  When I installed Win7 I did not do a clean install.  I just upgraded from the Vista 64 installation that came preinstalled.  I've been pleasantly suprised to find that everything works beautifully.  Actually better than it did in Vista.  Maybe try restoring your Vista installation (if possible, I haven't tried the onekey restore feature) and then install Win7 as an upgrade.
    This is just a suggestion - I have not tested this!

    Hello, iytask4me.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your microphone is not working.  Try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).  Once this is done, test using the microphone.
