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.

.xmp not recognized by Bridge CS 5.5. All previous solutions here not working for me. Please help.

First of all, this issue has existed for me since CS4.
When I load an .nef file into photoshop from bridge, it opens in camera raw. Once I edit that photo and send it to photoshop, an .xmp file is created and those changes should show up in bridge, but they don't. Looking in my folder of raw files, I can see the .xmp file.
To make matters more confusing, this only occurs with one of my two cameras. I have two seemingly identical Nikon D300s DSLRs. One with a 14mm and one with a 70-200 zoom. Bridge's issue with failing to recognize .xmp files only occurs with folders that contain photos shot with the camera with the zoom lens.
I have exhausted all of the solutions I have been able to find on this forum: telling my mac to open .xmp files with Bridge, telling Bridge to always use high quality thumbnails with 100% preview.
Can someone please help?

For several years ago I decided to convert all my CR2 Raw files (I use Canon) to DNG upon ingestion of the files. Not only is DNG an open standard and therefor will it be long supported but mainly because I was growing mad of all the side car XMP files. DNG stores the XMP info into the file itself. No more hidden files no more mistakes in copy files leaving XMP lost in a folder, etc. etc.
Although it is strange one dSLR has this problem and the other not I don't think it is lens related as Curt kindly suggested. To my knowledge lenses affect the EXIF data and Bridge creates the XMP Data as a sidecar file (by default selected in the Camera Raw preferences) with rating, labeling and ACR settings.
By default Bridge also does not show hidden items (that XMP files are). Could you double check with Raw files from both cameras next to each other and after having altered them both in ACR (i.e. plus 2 in exposure to make a real difference) and in the Bridge menu view show hidden files (sort Bridge on filename for easy viewing).
And if one is not showing the altered result could you click on it and with right mouse click menu check 'purge cache for selection and see if this changes things. (If the changes are there in PS as Curt already asked this might also help)
Could you also convert both files to DNG (Adobe has a free DNG converter for download (see also this link or Google it):
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
And could you provide a short summary of the solutions you already tried (all previous solutions is a little vague :-) )
Having set XMP to open in Bridge is not important, XMP is not meant to be opened by the user, Bridge uses it to read and write but other apps also. For instance I just tested on an old CR2 file with XMP and by default it opens in Adobe Photoshop Elements (also on my system like CS5 Suite, Aperture and Lightroom) as I discovered using the get info command. Bridge wasn't even on the list for possible opening options :-)
Also 100 % preview will not help, it just slows things down very much because the cache needs much more time to build and the cache file will grow to huge proportions...
Only if you want to use to compare all files at 100 % you might benefit from that setting.

Serial Number Not working for XSAN. PLEASE HELP!

When I purchased the XSAN software it was version 1.0 well I installed the software on all the machines and then did the updates to XSAN 1.2, but when I go to add clients serial numbers in XSAN ADMIN 1.2 it does the Metadata Controller (which is running the XSAN ADMIN program) just fine I can see the clients but when I enter my password it says "Valid Serial Number with No Expiration Date" so I click OK. Now it has a green light next to it, but when I click Save Settings it goes back to orange and give me the error "Error while writing settings (Invalid Serial Number)". Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

When I had an issue similar to yours, it was because I had typed the serial number in capital letters (just like the license showed) but it had to be in lower case. When I switched them it worked just fine.

Duck setting is not working for me! Please Help.

So I'm trying to edit a video I made over Thanksgiving. I have one song that's playing over a long 4 minute section but there are parts of the clip that I want to have the music come down so you can hear the conversations. I have the entire 4 minute clip cut up so I could select the section that I wanted to hear the audio and bring down the music but when I click on the Duck option nothing happens. I must be missing something very obvious. Thanks for your help.

That deck cannot do insert editing or assemble editing with proper show time to the 1200 deck. That is that decks big weakness. Only the 1400 deck has this ability. You'll have to crash record and then get the tape dubbed at a dub facility with the proper show code.
TRUST ME...I have been down this path.

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?

NB 200 internal microphone not working

I have been using my NB 200 to communicate via skype for some time and now the internal microphone has stopped working. I have managed to get it working for a brief period last night but then it stopped again when my system rebooted. It therefore appearst o be a software issue. I have tried installing up to date driver software (Realtech) and system restore but the computer says nothign has changed so it will not restore. Please advise. I am using XP as my oeprating system

I've got this problem - internal microphone was working fine up to few weeks ago when I last used it for Skype. All that's happened since then is a couple of Windows updates but now I can't get it to work.
I've tried all the things suggested in this thread:
- Updated Chicony software for webcam
- Updated Realtek software
An external microphone works OK for Skype and the voice recorder utility but doesn't work with audio/video recording using the webcam software.
A Bluetooth headset (which I know is working properly) will connect with the netbook to listen to music and works fine to listen to Skype but won't work to speak and won't work at all record or playback with the webcam software.
I've fiddled with all the control panel settings including voice settings and run all the tests.
So does this sound like a hardware problem or a software problem? If the microphone itself was damaged, why would that affect the use of an external microphone?
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm reluctant to follow up the last suggestion in this thread about reinstalling the OS as I'm not sure why that might sort out the problem?
Thanks

Brand New TouchSmart 300 internal microphone not working.

I have been trying to get my internal microphone to work with Skype.
I have done all the tests suggested on this forum and everything says that my microphone is working!
When I record anything I get a muffled noise not anything like speech.
If I record on Windows 7 Sound Recorder the green bar stays at 25% but no sound.
Is there a simple fix as really do not want to take it back to the shop to have it sent away under warranty.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Re-install Skype, and the drivers.
Reinstall drivers from Recovery Manager or download them from your update site at http://www.support.hp.com .
You can find your PN by pressing CTRL + ALT + S.
Update skype, or reinstall it, as I'm sure the latest version is compatible with Windows 7.
After you perform these tests, please post with the results.
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

Try the steps listed in this document from HP. It has the most common solutions and steps to isolate the issue.
It is possibly a hardware issue since an external microphone works without any issue, but let me know what happens with each step of the document as that will help determine if it is a hardware issue or not.
Also, let me know the results of the steps in the Using Windows Sound Recorder to test the microphone section. If this recorded file also exhibits the same behavior, then it is definitely not any third party software causing the issue.

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...
