IPhone 3GS built-in microphone not working?

i just got me a iPhone 3GS 16gb a few hours ago and while on the first call everything was fine, the built-in mic now doesn't seem to work anymore!
i tried voice control, taking video, recording audio...the mic isn't working in any of the apps!
but it works just as normal when i attatch the headset!
anyone else experiencing this?
any tips?

i've already doen the reset a few times, also tried shutting down completely a few times as well as synching with itunes!
will try a full restore now...
strange thing is that the mic worked on the initial call and the first video - so i really hope this is just some software issue...i really don't want to send in my brand new 3GS after just a few hours :/
edit: while i'm restoring my 3GS it just came to my mind that it maybe has to do with me upgrading from an 3G and restoring from that backup on the initial setup? itunes started to download 3.0 again now, event though i was already on 3.0 on my 3G...

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • My Aspire 5750-6438 built in microphone not working.

    My Aspire 5750-6438 built in microphone not working. My OS is windows 7 64-bit. I have updated all the driver. Built in microphone is not even recognized in the sound setting.

    welly267,
    Go into the device manager and check to see if there is a yellow or red icon next to your built-in microphone. If there is a red one, it's probably disabled, see if you can enable it. If it is yellow, right click to uninstall it, then restart your notebook to see if it installs correct and starts working. Look through these steps if it does start showing up in the sound manager.
    If it does not, you can try to remember when it worked last and try a system restore. If you cannot remember, you might have a hardware problem or can try to perform a recovery as a last resort to see if that solves it.

  • Re: Portege R700-184 - Built in microphone not working

    I can't seem to get the built in microphone to work. However, it works fine with an external usb microphone.
    Have tried changing the settings in the control panel called 'Sound' where I click on the 'Recording Tab'. 'Microphone' shows a green tick as the default device. Strangly, the graduated bar to the right of the microphone, sometimes shows random green activity, but nothing which relates to any sounds I make at the time. Driver is working and up to date.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Hey,
    >Driver is working and up to date.
    What driver you mean exactly? Hopefully not the sound driver because it has nothing to do with internal microphone. It belongs to webcam so you should reinstall/update the webcam driver.
    Check this!!!

    I install Windows 7 on my laptop and the built in microphone stopped working. Tried everything suggested on all posts for not woking built in microphone and still I am not able to record any voice or to use Skype, etc.
    When going to 'Recording Devices' I have two Microphones (one front and one ATAPI), but the green bar on the right does not move when making sound. I tried disabling the front microphone, still no success.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    Hi Dokie,
    I scan my pc with a Device Manager and it showed these results. Some of the drivers are not correctly installed I guess and these are the Realtek driver and the Chicony camera driver. Do you think this might be the reason? 
    Thanks

  • Built-in microphone not working on Equium A300D

    I have Toshiba Equium A300D 13X with vista 32-bit, I cant get the built in microphone to work.
    All the speakers and the webcam seem to work and I have tried to update the drivers from this website but nothing fixes the mic problems.
    Can you help?

    Hi
    Why are you sure that the internal microphone does not work?
    How did you test this?
    The internal microphone belongs to the internal webcam.
    You can increase the mic volume in webcam software settings.
    Start webcam software -> settings -> audio tab
    There you should increase the mic volume to max.
    The option Audio Device should contain something like Microphone (Conexant High definition). Audio Compressor -> No compress

  • Built in Microphone not working - Windows 8 - Edge E430

    Hey Guys, 
    My built in microphone was working correctly until a few days back. I made no updates or system setting changes. It's a ThinkPad Edge E430 with Windows 8. The required audio drivers are in place. I have also enabled the microphone from audio settings. Please refer image below. 
    Can some one guide me on what else I can do? Will be grateul as all my Skype calls are blocked becuase of this. 
    Thank you,
    Hariharan.

    Hi again, Hariharan
    If you right-click on the first selection in the image (the microphone) and select Properties, you should be able to see the driver in formation on the Driver tab in the new window. Can you list the driver Provider, Date, and Version? Also, how long have you had the machine, and how long was the microphone working properly before this issue began?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

  • IPhone 3Gs Voice Control does not work

    Purchased IPhone 3Gs 32g beside having no service were I live (AT&T is building a cell tower about a mile from my house) my Voice control only works about 1% of the time. For the Ipod I usually get some kind of error message “like listing not found” when it does find an album or artist it always the same one. I am sick of hearing Santana. For call when I do get a signal I also usually get an error message or if it works it pick on of my doctors and that’s it.
    Went to the Genesis bar and they said it was a software problem, they gave me a new IPhone with my old sims card, but the did not test the new IPhone Voice control in the store because there were on contacts or albums in the memory.
    Got home synced the new one and guess what same exact problem. I have read and tried everything on the internet and nothing has worked any ideas or suggestions ? Please help I tired of listing to Santana and calling Dr. Aronald.

    There's a few things you can try that might help out.
    No. 1 Make sure your genius results are updated. If you're saying "Play music like Snoop Dogg" it's going to try to make a genius playlist, and that might be why you have no results found.
    No. 2 Speak slower. This might sound kinda dumb, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I found that my voice command worked 200% better when I spoke just a little bit slower. Not sure why exactly, but the difference was night and day.
    No. 3 When calling someone (on purpose of course) it helps to sometimes add "mobile" at the end if the number is listed as mobile in your contact book. Usually you only need to do this if the contact has more then one number, but it helps even if they don't just to eliminate any ambiguity from the voice command.
    Hope that helps!

  • Bluetooth from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro not working?

    I am having (seemingly) bluetooth connection issues with "some" devices to my MacBook Pro.  I note:
    * Mouse pairs fine
    * iPhone 3GS does not remain connected (focus of this forum question)
    Error - after pairing my iPhone 3GS to my MBP I get an error:
    The Bluetooth Network is Unavailable
    There was an error connecting your device.  Make sure the device is turned on and in range.
    Notes:
    * MacBook Pro details:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Background: Ultimately interested in teethering my iPhone 3G data connection to my MacBook Pro, but for the moment the bluetooth connection won't even remain in place.

    nothing in these articles helped unfortunately - some more clarification:
    tethering via USB from iPhone 3G to MacBook Pro => WORKS
    tethering via Bluetooth => does NOT work, with bluetooth connectioning not staying up
    During pairing process:
    devices "see each other"
    pairing appears to work, then you see that the connection drops out directly afterwards (almost immediately)
    on iPhone message = "Connection Unsuccessful - XXX's MacBook Pro is not supported"
    on MacBook - it's just the connection in Bluetooth options shows up as not connected
    in /var/log/system I see some bluetooth related lines:
    Apr 18 19:33:14 Gregs-MacBook-Pro bnepd[18950]: [IOBluetoothDevice instantiateChannel] BluetoothHCIAuthenticationRequested failed (0x0006), so retry

    Apr 18 19:33:53 Gregs-MacBook-Pro blued[22]: Removing Bluetooth configured device: 00-26-08-23-23-9d
    Any other ideas?  Is it a physical problem with my MBP?  but then again my bluetooth mouse stays connected ok.  And in terms of the iPhone well it tethers fine to the iPad via bluetooth....

  • After my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1, built in Microphone not working

    Just what I said, my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 from IOS 5 on last week, the built in microphone is not working anymore, I can't record the video with sound, and called my friends with Facetime, they can't heard my voice.  Then I already restored IOS 5.0.1 for a few time and built in microphone is still not working. Does anyone iPad 2 has the same issue after using IOS 5.0.1?  And anyone can help me to fix this?  Thx.

    I've read other posts about this, and while it seems an odd coincidence, you likely have a faulty microphone.  On the right hand side you'll see similar posts.  The majority of people who all of the sudden had mic's that wouldn't work after updating, wound up getting their iPads replaced at the Genius Bar at their local Apple Store.  You could try rebotting, by pressing and holding BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go fo both buttons and your iPad will restart.  If that doesn't work, I would not recommend restoring.  Instead, make an appointment at the Apple Store and if found defective it will be replaced.  Do remember to create a backup before going.  It will make setting up a new device exactly as you had it, much much simpler.

  • Built-in microphone not working (or extremely silent) under Windows XP

    The built-in microphone works great on my iMac under OS X 10.6.
    However, it does not seem to work under Windows XP, using BootCamp. Is there any way to fix it?

  • Satellite C650-010 - Built in microphone not working

    built in microphone did not work after three weeks. I tried to install new driver software from Toshiba website, but did not help. External webcam with microphone works well.
    Yesterday microphone worked for ten minutes but then mute again.

    Hey,
    > I tried to install new driver software from Toshiba website
    What driver software you have installed?
    The microphone belongs to internal webcam so you have to reinstall the webcam driver if internal microphone doesnt work properly.
    > but then mute again.
    Does this mean the internal microphone is muted? Please check the Windows sound settings if the microphone is listed properly under recording devices and set as default device.

  • HT1349 I can only use speaker on iphone. Built in speaker not working?

    My built in speaker on my iphone is not working. I have to use speaker to hear caller

    I did!!  I went to Apple store, they ran diagnostics and cleaned it, all okay...got new sim card, AND still had the issue.  I really didn't want to do a total restore as they suggested.  It just so happened that I run the free version of Word with Friends.  I was curious if some of the ads may have reckoned with it.  So...I said to self, "Self, let's just delete the app."  So I listened to self. And VIOLÁ!!! Problem solved!!  Good luck with it...maybe if you run some "FREE" apps that run ads...could just be the issue!!

  • Toshiba Satellite E45t-B4300 built in microphone not working

    Greetings,
    Today I bought the Toshiba Satellite E45t-B4300. I was trying to use the built in microphone and it is not functioning. The video recorder appears to work fine. After searching around, I decided to download the most recent drivers from toshiba. I uninstalled the old audio device and installed the new drivers. After this process, the microphone still does not function. (Yes, I rebooted, and all standard good practices ) It appears to be listed in the recording devices and enabled. When I try to set it up, it does not detect any audio. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh it also runs Windows 8.1.
    Thank you.
