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.

  • Internal Microphone not working for L505D-S5983 (PLEASE HELP!)

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get my internal microphone to work. I have enabled it under Sound->Manage Audio Devices
    ->Recording tab. However the green vertical bar does not detect any voice. After setting the Microphone boost to +40dB, it detected some noise (since it has some green light) but I realized it wasn't detecting my voice. Since this did not work, I re-set the Microphone boost to only +10dB.  I only have one internal microphone and no external microphone. 
    I have seen many postings on internal microphones not working on Toshiba laptops but couldn't find a solution to mine. Can someone please help? I think it's about time that Toshiba fix this issue after the countless complaints.
    FM.

    No mentions of reinstalling the sound driver. That sometimes turns on the microphone.

  • 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  The recovery disks I originally made did not work (no apparent reason why) so I ended up reinstalling drivers / software from this toshiba site.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.

  • Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

    Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype. 
    Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
    Any suggestions, please?

  • Microphone "not plugged in"

    I bought this laptop two days ago, and I cannot get the INTERNAL microphone to work. I went to my device manager under Sound and found that the device is enabled but "not plugged in." I tried disabling it and re-enabling it, and nothing. I also updated the drivers.

  • Internal Microphone not working on Pavillion DV6 Quad edition

    Unable to "turn on" internal microphone for use with any software.  I really need it for Skype and Gmail telephone.  I called HP customer support.  The guy spent literally 2 hours remotely trying to solve problem.  We got disconnected and he did not call me back.  We updated BIOS, we checked and made sure all drivers updated.  He attempted to toggle all of the microphone settings (microphone sensitivity, etc), made sure no "mute" on.  I'm pretty frustrated with HP product.  And mad they couldnt solve their own product problem in over 2 hours of remote access. 
    Please help, someone!

    Finally got around to addressing problem. HP refused to honor original warranty because it had expired 3 days prior. (despite wasting 2 hours on phone that got disconnected with no call back 2 months prior... It's not like it was a new issue! I talked to manager... Still not willing to honor warranty). Fortunately my credit card extends manufacture warranty for an extra year. Took laptop to local PC Repair store... Tab tests... Motherboard is shot... Bill is $440 with diagnosis, parts and labor... Last HP product I will buy.

  • NB205-N210 Internal Microphone NOT Working

    My internal microphone quit working on my NB-205-N210 after using an external headset (w/microphone) in the left side analog audio jacks, now I can't get the internal microphone to work again...  All I get is "white noise" with the volume control set at maximum...  Note: an external analog microphone + USB microphone still work...
    What I've tried so-far:
    I have tried both Realtek and Windows XP sound and audio device tools to make sure the microphone was not muted, the volume was turned up and selected + boost on (all where set correctly)...
    Un-installing then re-installing the current Realtek HD sound drivers (several times), to no avail...
    Dis-assembled the netbook to check the internal microphone, plus substituted an electret microphone element to check - no luck...
    Checked microphone plug, plus re-soldered the microphone connector on motherboard - still no luck...
    I could get by using an external microphone, but that's not convenient when traveling, or the point...
    Hope someone can help...
    Solved!

  • Internal microphone not responding

    My internal microphone will not work on my HP pavilion dv6000 notebook (specifically dv6448se). Vista claims the microphone is active, but it won't pick up a signal. 
    I'm running the most up to date conexant audio drive version 4.33.1.61. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the HP website as well as letting windows try and install the drivers. 
    This seems to be an issue that has been affecting countless people and needs to be resolved ASAP!
    Notebook details:
    32-bit vista
    pavilion dv6448se

    s/n:[text removed for privacy]

    I had same problem on my HP G62 after disabling the mic. Some months later I couldn't find an obvious way of enabling it again, this is how I resolved it:
    Right click speakers icon on task bar.
    Click on Recording devices.
    Right click anywhere in box below where it says "Select a recording device below to modify its settings:"
    Tick box "Show Disabled Devices".
    You should see the Microphone icon appear.  Right click it and Enable.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Internal microphone not working with Windows 7 RC on dv9000 (Dv9817cl)

    Hi,  I recently installed Windows 7 RC (64bit) on my HP dv9000 (DV9817cl) and everything seems to work apart from the internal microphones.
    In the Sounds section of the hardware and sound section of control panel there is only one recording device shown "Microphone, High definition audio device, not plugged in".  I take it this is the 3.5mm microphone port on the front of the notebook.  There is only one driver issue showing in device manager for "Other devices>coprocessor".
    The current audio driver is High Definition Audio Device microsoft v6.1.7100.0.  I've tried looking for updated drivers ion the web with no luck so far.
    Does anyone know where I could get an updated driver or have any suggestions to get this going?
    Thanks in advance

  • X220 internal microphone not working

    Ever since my laptop got a motherboard replacement a few weeks ago, the internal microphone has stopped working. I have installed the most recent conexant audio drivers (8.32.23.5), uninstalled and re-installed them, and uninstalled and tried using microsoft audio drivers. None of these strategies have worked. Furthermore, in the control panel -> sound -> recording tab, it shows a "docking microphone (conexant 20672 smartaudio HD)" rather than an "internal microphone". In the properties page, it also lists the "jack information" of this device to be a "LR rear panel 3.5mm jack". I think the "docking mic" device is actually supposed to be the jack for the docking station that goes with the x220 laptop, however I have never plugged the laptop into a docking station before. There is no listing for an "internal microphone" in the recording tab of the sound page.
    Based on this information, would it be logical to assume there is either some hardware issue with the internal microphone itself, or that the microphone isn't plugged into the motherboard properly? If it's not plugged in correctly, how much would I have to disassemble the laptop in order to plug it back in?

    Hey there hitokirix,
    That sounds like it could definitely be a hardware issue, since it's not showing in the Sound Menu. 
    Here's the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the X220.

    It'll show you how to disassemble your machine.
    Also, have you tried calling Lenovo back? They might be able to assist you, depending on how long 'a few weeks' is.

  • 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
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    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.
    Jim
