Internal or external Microphone

Hi
I am having trouble finding where to turn off the internal microphone, It seem that when I have logic running it is on an causing feedback. I have looked through system pref. Sound, But I can't seem to turn it off. Also I am using duet apogee as my interface. I can moniter my recordings with headphones but what if I just want to monitor with my speakers, I can only hear them when I have my interface turned off.
Thanks to all who can help.
Troy

Hi.
To turn the internal mic off just stop monitoring or recording. Each channel has got two buttons, one "I" to monitor the Input and "R" to record the input. Turn this for all channels off and there should be no feedback.
As far as i know Logic lets you only playback to this interface wich is set up for input. If it is the Duet then the Monitors have to be connected with the Duet.

I tried to plug in one of my external microphones to mic jack and it also doesnot working. I check my 2 external microphones on other PC and they both are woking properly.
1) Nothing new was installed today.
2) To fix this i tried to swich in sound properties default device but i dont see any green volume level behind mic images for both.
3) I removed all audio drivers
4) After PC was restarted windows installed default drivers but i still cannot record any sound. (Checked in skype and by green record level indicator in sound properties)
5) Also for default windows drivers i tried to switch my default microphone in 'sound' window settings and also plug in and out my external mics and without results.
Screen shot of windows after default windows drivers was installed:
What it can be?

On skype : i Hear but can not speak.
(i tested the headset on a PC, it works)

GE70 2oc - low volume from both the internal and external microphone

Hello,
I have an MSI GE70 2OC and the following problem. The volume of the sound recorded from the internal microphone (as well as any plugged-in mic) is very low. Even when the mic is set to 100 and there is a boost of +30dB the sound quality is very poor, that is there's either a loud noise/static or a distorted sound (when the noise reduction is on).
I have the latest audio driver installed (Realtek HD Audio, ver. 6.3.9600.16384).
Is there a way to solve this problem?
I'd be grateful for help!

HT3648 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation. I would like to test it with talk to text for my deaf mother. I have downloaded the dragon program but I need an external microphone. Can you help?

Hello,
I think my iPod touch is a 3rd generation. It is a 4.2.1 Version, 8 GB.
My 89 year old mother has totally lost her hearing. I would like to experiment with my ipod touch to see if an ipod is what she could use in her assisted living arrangement.
My ipod does not have an internal microphone as far as I can tell.
I see on the internet that I can purchase an external microphone.
I do not want a headset microphone just an external microphone where someone could speak into when the dragon app is on and it will transfer talk to text for her to read.
Can someone help me: a) do you think this will work.
b) what do I have to do to make it work.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
anetatsk

External Microphone won't work!

I had recently JUST bought a headset.
I was excited to use it... I was positive that it was Mac compatible cause it said that it was ipod compatible.. my mistake I guess. Plus I needed to buy a mic under $30 cause that's all I had... and the cheapest one they had was the one I have on now.
Sooo I get it all ready.
There are 2 plug ins. One for the audio head phones... then one for the mic.
Oddly there is NO hole for a mic.. since mac already has a built in mic.. but i hate using that.
Sooo I just plug it into the next available hole.. which looks like this "|>o<|"
The mic doesn't work....
So I go to System Prefrences on my computer and it says:
+Changing your computer's sound input device+
+You can input sound into your computer using your computer's internal microphone or an external microphone. For example, you may want to use an external microphone to record your voice, or use the internal microphone to give spoken commands to your computer.+
+Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sound.+
+Click Input, and then select the device you want to use for sound coming into your computer.+
So I do that..
Here were the choices:
Internal Microphone- Built In
Line In- Audio line-in port
so I click "Line In"
and my mic still doesn't work.
does this mean I have to get a new headset?
The thing is I called the place and it said that this headset IS mac compatible. Soo I dunno what's going on.
My guess that this isn't mac compatible even though the guy said it was...
Also,
Any good headsets I can get for the mac UNDER $30?

Hanners, Welcome to the discussion area!
This discussion area is for the G3 iMacs which look like this:
It sounds like you do not have a G3 iMac. It sounds like you have a G4 iMac which looks like this:
The iMac you have does NOT have an audio input port. The plug you have attached the microphone to is the output port for the Apple Pro speakers. By doing that you may have damaged your microphone AND the output port for the Apple Pro speakers.
The only way to use a microphone with your iMac is to either get a USB microphone OR use an iMic along with a standard microphone.

Hey coolasc,
If you had a lot of updates come through, you'll want to make sure that BIOS was one of them.
BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System/Service. It is the language that all of the hardware components in your computer use to communicate with each other. There are updates which come out periodically for it so it would be best to have the latest version. The following steps were taken from here.
Windows 8: From the Start screen, type "msinfo32". Click msinfo32 from the list of results.
Windows 7&Vista: Click the Start button, type "msinfo32". Click msinfo32.exe from the list of results.
About halfway down on the right, look for BIOS Version/Date.
3. Copy and paste the information to the right of BIOS Version/Date in the value column, into your reply.
The latest version on the HP Drive Page for your particular notebook is F.66. It could be that a lot of updates other than BIOS came through and BIOS just hasn't come through quite yet (if this is the case, it would be fine to manually install the latest version). If you have a version higher than F.66 by some chance, go back to F.66 by just downloading and installing it.
The BIOS being out-of-date or just out of sync with the other updates that came through, could definitely cause an issue like this.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions helped (this could help others with the same issue). I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

EXTERNAL microphone not working on T61, Colleagues with T61s having same problem

I am unable to get any external micophone to work with my T61. A colleague of mine spent hours with Lenovo support trying to get his to work but was never able to. The internal microphone works but the quality is low. I have tried several external microphones (3). I verified the external microphones work with other systems.
As for drivers, here is what I have tried so far:
SoundMAX driver uninstall
Installed Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio
Installed SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio driver (5.10.1.5520)
None of this made any difference. When I plug in an external mic, all applications, including the SoundMAX Control Panel > Microphone > Setup Wizard, detect zero sound from the external microphone. I have muted/unmuted the external microphone, muted/unmuted the microphone in Windows, boosted/decreased the volume, used the Microsoft microphone troubleshooting wizard, etc., etc.
Please help! Using an external microphone is very important for my work (speech recognition) and for several of my colleagues. If we would have known external microphone do not work with T61s, my company would not have purchased these. Now we are all stuck until we get new laptops again (2 more years)!
P.S. One strange thing I noticed while plugging and unplugging is that if I plug in headphones to the external microphone jack, one of the headphones (R, I think) becomes an "external microphone." The quality is terrible but applications register sounds coming through the external headphones. Why then have none of the 3 different external microphones I've plugged into the mic jack worked?!?!
System:
SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Driver 5.10.1.5520, Location 65535, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ADIHdAud.sys is 5.10.01.5520)
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2
Intel Core2 Duo CPU
T7300 @ 2.00GHz
2.99 GB of RAM

I am having this same problem and am also using voice recognition software. Have you found a resolution yet to this problem? I have not. Please share if you have.
Thanks!

External Microphone Input?

The iPhone headset's (or similar one plug headset) microphone and headphone can be used by plugging the headset into the headphone jack. In Mac OS X, the internal microphone option changes to external microphone.
Boot Camp doesn't seem to recognize this. All I get is the internal microphone, the line-in jack, and the digital input (SPDIF).
Is there a way or a driver to enable the use of the microphone input for the headphone jack?
Thanks!

first of all, i don't work for lenovo.
i'll try to find a specific answer for you. ( i will post here if i can find )

IMac i7 External Microphones not working

Out of the box, no external microphone will work!
I have tried many.
It seems the system does not even notice that something is plugged in to that port.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Could this be a factory hardware defect?
Tried Soundflower and many other things / settings. No Luck.
Normally I would not care, but I need Skype every day. The internal Mic works, but that is not good enough.

Hi DaBigness
The iMac's Audio Input is for Line- Level or amplified devices like (Stereo receivers, CD & DVD players, iPods, MP3 players, etc.) See > [Line- Level|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-level]
To connect a non-amplified microphone you will need to patch it thru an amplified stereo device such as a stereo receiver, a pre-amp, a tape player, an MXL iBoost or a Griffin iMic just to mention a few options. For example's see the > [MXL iBoost|http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-iBooster-Guitar-and-Mic rophone-Interface?sku=243800] or the > [Griffin iMic|http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic>

How to use external microphone in combo jack?

Hello,
My notebook Pavillion 14-V042tx have this combo jack (input/output in one jack).
How can i use my external microphone with this combo jack?
When i inserting the microphone it won't recognize the device, but when the headphone / external speakers are inserted, it's doing fine.
Do i need cable audio splitter like this?
Or are there any settings to enable the external microphone?
Thx before.

exlinko,
If the hardware is working the 8.1 software should detect that the jack was inserted and allow you to listen to (audio -out) on one of the jacks and allow you to input (audio-in) on the other. Also the software should mute the internal mic and speakers. Good luck with M$ 8.1 software.

External Microphone in Windows on MBP

Hi guys,
I see this problem has been posted on the form a couple of years back but don't seem can find a solution. I'm just wondering if this has been sorted now.
I have a MBP 2011 mid model. It recognise the iphone microphone when it is under OS. However, when it is in Win 7, it seems only picking up sound by the internal microphone. It was fine using the internal microphone until the machine get heated and the cooling fan gets too noisy and the microphone picks up all the noise since it is located just above the fan.
I had to use windows as the particular software I'm using doesn't have a mac version. I tried to use virtual windows under OS but it gets so slow I could hardly do anything under it.
The most up-to-date boot camp drivers are correctly installed for Win 7.
Any one have this sorted? If I can get my MBP pick up an external microphone in Windows (doesn't matter which version)?
With many thanks

I visited the Louisville, KY Apple store today and discussed this question with Lonnie, a lead creative there. He says he is familiar with Fusion and that what Doc wants to do is no problem. Naturally, it shouldn't be, but ... like Doc A, after 30 years+ working with PCs, things are often not what they should be.
Doc - did you try this, and did it work?
Has anyone else out there tried this with a Retina MBP with at least 8gb of RAM and Fusion running at least 2 different VMs, each pinned to a different external monitor (with OSX on the Retina in the middle)?
If you did, was it with straight Thunderbolt monitors, or did you use older monitors and adapters?
BONUS POINTS: Was one of your VMs some version of Linux, by any chance?
Do you have ML OSX or some older version?
Did it work out of the box, or with issues that you had to get help on?
Your answers are much appreciated!

IMac: How to use internal built-in microphone when Bose mic-headphones are plugged?

Hi there,
I use my Bose AE2 for Lync conferences in my iMac, but the problem is that, when the headphones are plugged I seem "obliged" to use their made for iPhone/Mac mic.
The problem is that, however, the sound through this Bose's mic is terrible so the others in the conference can't properly hear me. So I just want to use the internal computer's mic, and it seems not possible when the headphones are plugged.
In that situation, Sys Preferences > Sound > Input, only shows "External microphone" and "Line in".
Meaning, what normally is "Internal microphone" automatically, when plugged, turns into "External microphone" and that's it. It's not possible to use the internal mic anymore if mic headphones are plugged.
Do you know any way to workaround this?
My OS is 10.6.8 (it's work's iMac), but I'm afraid this is not different in 10.9.X.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I plug in the headphones set with a regular headphones jack plug. They don't go with USB.
Thanks for answering

Record video directly into imovie with external microphone?

Here's what I am trying to, and I am just wondering if it is possible.
I like recording video covers/songs to put up on youtube. i don't have a video camera that takes good video AND sound, and the video quality provided by recording in imovie through the isight is perfectly fine. however, i would like better sound quality than i get with the internal microphone.
i own an mx audio pro system which allows me to connect external microphones to my computer through usb for higher quality recording (i've used it for garageband).
my question is whether i can simultaneously use the isight and external microphone when recording in imovie, and how i would do that??
thanks!

Click System Preferences/Sound/Input and select your USB mic.
I know this works for voiceovers, but it should work for iSight as well.
