Internal Microphone Problem

I am the owner of a A305-S6829. When the lid is open the microphone does not function. It is necessary to barely close the lid to make it function. I think the problem is that the wire harness of the camera and the microphone is in some way broken and it make connection when the lid is closed. I know this wire harness pass through the right hinge of the lid. The situation is that i am trying to buy this wire harness but I can not find any internet site to buy them. Can someone help me with that or sugest me other solution.
Thanks!!
Solved!

I have not taken one of these apart. But, these mic cables look quite long, combined with the instructions, I hope this will help.

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

Audio/Internal Microphone problems

I can't seem to record anything on my PB. I'm trying the internal microphone and an external Apple microphone and a couple of different audio programs including Quicktime. Whenever I switch back and forth from "internal microphone" to "Line in" in the system prefs, I get a momentary audio input level signal, but nowhere can I get an actual sustained audio in signal. Anything I record comes up blank.
Could my internal audio hardware be dead?
- N

I'm not sure why you're not getting a signal from you internal mic, but you can't use a regular external microphone with the Line In port. Line In requires a stonger signal than a microphione can provide, so you need to use a pre-amp to boost it.
So that could explain why the Apple external microphone isn't working, although it doesn't rule out the possibility that there's a problem with your PowerBook's audio hardware.

Pavilion G7 1365dx internal microphone problems (skype).

I just purchased this notebook and when I tried to use Skype, everything works except the other person can't hear me. Mic is enabled and not muted. Internal Mic (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC). System checked for updated drivers, system said drivers are up to date. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello @Pistaba1975,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how the microphone on your notebook is enabled, but will not record any audio on Skype. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Are you able to record audio using a different program on your computer? Were you able to record audio from Skype in the past?
In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Resolving microphone problems (Windows 8). This should help enable the audio-in when using the microphone.
Additionally, I also suggest following this resource on Microphone Troubleshooter to ensure that your Skype software is communicating the audio being transmitted to your audio-in device.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Help - Internal Microphone Problem Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910

Hello,
I really hope someone can help me. 2 days ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910 after reading rave reviews on BestBuy.com. After attempting to use the internal microphone I discovered the following problem.
When I am on a video chat, it sounds like there is a lot of static on the line. As soon as I plug in a headset, the sound goes away. I called best buy for the free 14 day support and they said I have two options. Bring it in to exchange for a new laptop or PAY for a service person to come troubleshoot it for me. I have spent the last 3 days transferring files, loading programs, and now I have just about everything set up on this laptop. I do not want to go EXCHANGE it for a new one and do that all over again. I can reload software if its something simple like that. Does anyone have any ideas how I can diagnose and possibly repair myself? Part of the reason I liked this one is the built in mic and webcam since I video chat A LOT!
Thanks
Kristine

Hi,
Since that the problem goes away with the use of external mic, it is very likely that the internal mic is malfunctioning or maybe a loose wire to the mic is causing the problem. Fixing these yourself means taking the notebook apart and possibly voiding your warranty.

T410(2539) Internal Microphone problem

Hi All,
I just find out my internal microphone was not working(Skype or MSN). i updated the driver for conexant audio to version 4.95.48.50 however it still doesnt work. I am using Win7 64 bit. Please kindly advise on this issue. Thanks

Some generic advice. Look in control panel, under "sound" and see what device is listed for "recording", make sure it's enabled and says it's working. Also check in your apps, if your system has options like bluetooth, it might have it set as default, in which case you'll need ot change it to your systems internal mic, but most important, you should post this in the proper section. Your topic will be seen by more T400 series users if you post in that section. This is for older models that were discontinued at the end of 2008.
If a moderator comes by first, perhaps they will move it for you.

Internal microphone problems

Recent return of iMac for broken internal microphone

I wish I could figure out what your issue is so I could duplicate it here. I'm actually trying to get the microphone to stop working. I turned the volume on the input all the way down when I bought the machine three weeks ago, and at least once I've found it had turned itself back up to the mid point. My previous MacBook Pro did this as well, and I found I had to check regularly to make sure it wasn't on.

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?

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!

Internal mic problem my doing?

I have a MacBook Pro, mid-2010 model, Snow Leopard, OS 10.6.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB memory 1067 MHz DDR3.
My problem is with my internal microphone. I Skype once a week with my daughter and until 2 weeks ago, the internal micrtophone worked fine. I had an issue with the MagSafe connection, which was repaired by the folks at the Apple Store. After the repair, my internal microphone no longer worked with Skype. I discovered today I can use an external microphone to create sound for Skype and for Sound Studio, but when I choose Built-In Input, I get no sound for either program.
I would rather not drag an external microphone around every time I want to use either program.
Suggestions for a fix?
Thank you.

external microphone has to boosted up to "LINE" levels, so it requires an amplifier.
My bet is on they disconnected the wire when they made the prevoius repair. If that is the case, they can fix it "in the back" (static-free workstation) behind the genius bar.

High pitched sound - something to do with internal microphone ??

Suddenly my Powerbook has started emitting a high pitched sound through its speakers. You know one of those high frequency ear-blowing sounds when a PA system is being set up and the mic is getting tested and the amp's turned up too loud?
I'm not sure exactly what I was doing when it started, but I think I was making or receiving a telephony call via iChat. During or just after the connection process (which didn't work for some reason but that could've been a problem at the other end), this high pitched squeal started. I can get rid of it by turning down the output volume - the squeal disappears but that of course turns all other output sound down as well. The sound disappears when the volume is turned down about half way.
But...even if the sound is turned down half way, if I put my hand over the left speaker, the sound comes back. No sound comes back if I place hand over right speaker. I assume then that the inbuilt microphone is under the left speaker area, and this has something to do with the inbuilt mic.
The only other thing that's happened in recent times is that I used this Powerbook's audio line-in port to record some sound from an audio casette recently. I used Audio Recorder 2.0 for this. I can't imagine this has been the cause, but thought I'd better mention it. If I go into the Sound Preference panel, I can stop the squeal by changing the sound input device from internal microphone to Line In.
Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how iit can be fixed?
Many thanks, Steven

Hey, great suggestion Burn. It prompted me to look at iChat preferences, since that was the only application that I've had open which might engage the internal microphone.
Within iChat Preferences, I clicked on the 'Video' icon, and for the 'Microphone' setting I saw that 'None selected' (or something like that - that option has gone now?) was in place. So I changed the setting to Internal Microphone. The whistle or screech was still there. Then I changed the setting to 'Line In'. No more screech!!
A good result, but is this the way it's supposed to be? Does having the setting as 'Line In' mean that I have to plug headphones in whenever I want to use iChat for internet telephony? Unless I manually change to Internal Microphone, but then I suffer screeching again?
Cheers, Steven

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.

My new iMac's internal microphone is not being recognized by other applications (such as Skype or rosetta stone)?

I just bought a new iMac. I'm having trouble with the internal microphone. I went to systems preferences> sound, and checked the input levels. The computer shows recieved sound from internal microphone and a USB connected microphone. However, no one on Skype can hear me, and microphone isn't recognized while using rosetta stone. Does anyone know what could be the problem with my internal mic?

I did get an answer to my problem. It was specifically with skype and Rossetta Stone. I had to re-install the apps and then do the general upgrade. It fixed the problem. Works fine now.
