Lenovo B590 integrated microphone issue

Hi,
When I use the integrated microphone, I can barely hear myself. It has always worked like that and I don't know if there's a problem. I uninstalled and installed the drivers, I amplified +20 dB and the output is very low. When I'm trying out different things, if I try to configure speech recognition and read the sentence I can see how the bar oscillates like it recognizes some sound, but the result is too low and it tells me that it couldn't hear a thing.
My OS is Windows 8 and I have Realtek High Definition Audio drivers. I tried different software (the videocamera app in Windows 8, standard Windows voice recorder, etc.), same results.
Thank you!

  • Lenovo B590 configuration or hardware problems (microphone and WAN miniport)?

    Hi,
    First message here. :-)
    Ok, when I use the integrated microphone, I can barely hear myself. It has always worked like that and I don't know if there's a problem. I uninstalled and installed the drivers, I amplified +20 dB and the output is very low. When I'm trying out different things, if I try to configure speech recognition and read the sentence I can see how the bar oscillates like it recognizes some sound, but the result is too low and it tells me that it couldn't hear a thing.
    Also, out of nothing I receive this message that tells me that my WAN miniport is disabled. The Lenovo Solution Center detects this problem but it doesn't fix it, and I can't enable The WAN miniport it in the device administrator, either.
    Thank you for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi EXinthenet, welcome to the forums,
    regarding the WAN Miniport, it seems that a recent Microsoft update (KB2836988) has caused this to happen on some systems, unfortunately uninstalling the update doesn't solve the problem.
    You could do a system restore in Windows to a point before the update was installed and then whan you update hide / exclude the update by right clicking it before updating.  More information and an alternative fix can be found in the following threads,
    Win 8 Monthly Update - T430S WAN Miniport Problem
    SOLVED! WAN Miniport #2 yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager
    I would suggest starting another thread for the microphone issue, don't forget to state which operating system version, 32 bit / 64 bit, and sound driver versions you have installed.

  • Lenovo B590 discharge battery when off

    Good morning, I've experienced very annoying problem with Lenovo B590 Laptop (20206 with HM70 chipset). Laptop discharges a battery (about 10% per 24h) when it's off (power off or hibernate).
    I disabled:
    - WAKE ON LAN settings in BIOS
    - Wake on * in network adapter properties (LAN and WLAN).
    - Allow this device to wake the computer (LAN, WLAN, Bluetooth)
    Only option I found so far - eject battery for a second after power off. In such case, no discharge occurs.
    I really appreciate, if you can help me with this issue.
    Thank you!

    Hi rinkar,
    Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
    Can I ask you to Enter BIOS and Return the BIOS to the factory default settings by pressing F9 inside the BIOS and then F10 to save and exit,
    And then please if you have Lenovo Energy management in your application list please uninstall Lenovo Energy management and restart the system and then reinstall it back from the below link:
    Windows8:
    Lenovo Power Management

  • ProBook 4330s integrated microphone not working on Windows XP

    Hi there, everyone!
    I've recently stumbled on a problem after installing Windows XP on a second partition on my ProBook 4330s. I went into the drivers page for my computer to find the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC in order to get some sound from the computer. After installed the speaker works perfect, but I can't use the integrated microphone on the computer. I've tested to plug in an USB mic, to check what happens, and then it counts as the IDT mic works even though it's the USB mic that is the one which works (I don't have to select the Logitech mic in Skype, for example, in order to make it work). On my Windows 7 and Kubuntu partitions the mic works fantastic however. But since the drivers come pre-installed for my Windows 7, and the drivers are automatically detected in Kubuntu, I have no idea what I should do to make the microphone work. If anyone knows what I have to do it would be greatly appreaciated if you could share.
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    Can someone please help.

    hi bosiwow,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If your BIOS is the same as the one below, can you set the following options (if applicable):
    Credits goes to this website for the image.
    Startup Tab:
    UEFI/Legacy Boot = UEFI Only
    - UEFi/Legacy Boot Priority = UEFI First
    - CSM Support = Disabled
    Security Tab:
    Secure Boot = Disabled
    Exit or Restart Tab:
    OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS / Disabled
    When done, press F10 to save and exit. Once the lenovo screen pops up, press F12 for the boot menu and see if the USB flashdrive is selectable.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Lenovo b590 power management not working

    Hello! I have a problem with my laptop, a lenovo b590. (pentium 2020m, 4gb ram, intel hd graphics): the Lenovo Power Management driver not working.... 
    Is exactly the same as here, but, the only difference is that I use windows 8.1:

    So, how can I solve this problem?
    Edit: I tried everything that was said there, to no avail ...
    Sorry for my english..

    i'm not sure if there's any suitable cooling pads for your computer but cleaning the fan could be another solution. it may work but it may also void your warranty.
    due to it's probably hardware issue, at this point i don't think i have much suggestions for you.

  • Lenovo B590 big problem, HELP!!!

    Hello,
    I have big problem with my Lenovo B590 20206 laptop. [windows 7 pro 64 bit installed]
    After turn my laptop to standby mode (manualy or after 1 hour without use laptop) and when I want to wake up laptop all what I see is black screen and I must hold push power button for 5 second to force off.
    BTW when laptop is in standby mode everything looks good, led is blinking and after pushing any button I hear that fan and hard disk is starting but all what i got is black screen, even CTRL + ALT + DEL doesnt work.
    I've tried replace RAM, reinstalled alot of drivers but without success. Windows 7 of course works perfect, only sleep mode (standby] doesnt work.
    Another problem is that i cant update bios, my current is 1.10 which is not recent imho (maybe bios update would help with problem above?). Ive downloaded  BIOS Update Utility for Windows 7 from lenovo site but when i tried to update i ve got a warning like this:
    so i tried to update from Windows 7 and BIOS Update Utility for CD ISO image and i got error "THE SYSTEM PROGRAM FILE IS DAMAGED. THE PROCESS HAS BEEN CANCELED."
    My last question is about disk replacement in that lenovo b590, original 500gb disk is 7mm high, can I replace it with 9,5mm disk?

  • Lenovo B590 Memory

    First of all, I hope this is the right section for the Lenovo B series laptops, particularly the Lenovo B590. If it's the wrong place I apologize.
    Does anyone know what RAM is supported in the Lenovo B590? Specifically the 20208 model. I got one of these laptops through my school and it only has 2GB of RAM which simply isn't enough when you are used to a computer rocking 8GB of DDR3 RAM. Does anyone know what the supported RAM specs are for this model Lenovo? I tried to Google it, and I got to Crucials website where they have a set that is 2x4GB, CL11, 1.35v, and 204 pin, which I assumed would be the recommended specs to shoot for, but I wanted to be absolutely positive before I dumped money into some RAM kits.
    Is Crucial the main RAM supplier for these laptops? Also would memory with a different CL work? I use this computer exclusively for school work, so the cheaper the better for this computer (long as it's of good quality). Does it have to be 1.35v RAM or would 1.5v RAM work as well?
    I was searching Newegg and found Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BF160B, CL11, 1.35v for $67.99. Would this type of RAM be suppoprted with this laptop? Looks almost identical in terms of specs to the memory on Crucials website for $22 cheaper. There is even cheaper RAM, but it's 1.5v RAM, and I want to make sure I know what will positively work before I drop the money.
    I'm a noob when it comes to laptop hardware. I've always dealt with desktops. This is the first laptop I've ever owned so I'm learning as I go when it comes to laptop hardware, so any information would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Shashi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!

  • Problema para arrancar lenovo b590 (UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME)

    Hola a tod@s,
    de buenas a primeras, mi lenovo b590 no arranca, ayer funcionaba perfectamente, y hoy al intentar iniciar me ha salido un error de un "servicio" que apenas me ha dado tiempo a leer cuando se a reiniciado el portatil. Tras esto al intentar arrancar el sistema operativo el lenovo se quedaba colgado apareciendome la pantalla azul de la muerte con el siguiente mensaje: "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" (windows 8.1)
    Tras esto el PC se ha quedado pegado (ya van 6horas) en la pantalla de "Intentando realizar reparaciones".
    He buscado información sobre el tema pero no veo nada que se asemeje a mi caso, ya que la verdad, ni siquiere se porque aparece este error de la nada, tengo miedo de perder datos importantes ya que la ultima copia de seguridad la hice hace 1mes. Destacar que estoy de exámenes y necesito el ordenador para realizarlos.
    ¿Algun usuario de este foro me podría aconsejar sobre este problema o que debería de hacer? 
    Si conoceis algun hilo de este tema se agradecería que lo compartieseis.
    Ante todo, gracias por vuestro tiempo
    P.D : no tengo disco de inicio
    ¡Resuelto!
    Ir a solución.

    Claro puede conseguir la imagen de Windows 8.1.
    Usar el recovery es una especie de formateo te deja el ordenador como si fuera la primera vez que lo enciendes, pero te dejaría con Windows 8 y eliminaría todo en C, a través del botón Novo, el proceso de recovery se debe realizar con mas del 50% de carga y conectado al cargador.
    Punto anterior en Windows es el que tu has creado puedes volver a el desde el disco de rescate de Windows, desde Windows 8 en adelante también podrías regresar a Windows de fabrica.
    Instalación limpia me refiero a una nueva instalación de cero en la que cargas un dispositivo extraible con la instalación de Windows.
    Puede ser sobre lo de la descarga esta era un archivo que necesito algún parche?
    Entiendo suele suceder el problemas relacionados a mal arranque con Windows.
    Inicio seguro sigue disponible solo se debe usar un USB de rescate y realizar ciertos pasos, lo ideal seria utilizarlo no desde Windows si no como esta disponible antes  y no como esta configurado a partir de WIndows 8, pero en tu caso no creo que sirviera de mucho.
    Sobre la opción de BIOS me puedes comentar que has echo hasta ahora? si se podría entrar pero ver que sucede pero no se mas detalles.
    Para cargar algún disco de Windows 8/8.1 presionar F12 o Fn+F12 y escoger tu lectora, para entrar a BIOS a través del botón Novo o F2,Fn+F2 al encender el ordenador.
    Esta disponible lo de rescatar tu información con Linux no es complicado y proceder a realizar una nueva instalación.

  • Integrated Microphone Array not working

    Hi. I recently bought a dv6 laptop. In the beginning there were no problems with it at all, but without any (to me) apparent reason, the integrated microphone simply stopped working. I've tried several suggested solutions already; I've checked my sound setup in the control panel, everything checks out there, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT HD Audio Driver CODEC through the HP Recovery Manager. My laptop is running Windows 7 x64. I really need a solution to this problem, it is driving me crazy.. I'm hoping someone in here can help me..
    Thanks in advance.

  • Installing another OS on Lenovo B590 (model name 6274)

    Hi
    We recently bought a Lenovo B590 with pre-installed Windows 8, which we absolutely hated of several reasons.
    We haven't used the laptop since we bought it a month ago because of Windows8, so we decided to install Windows 7 or Windows XP as an alternative, as these are the installation discs we have from other laptops.
    Now, we couldn't get it to boot from CD, but have figured ot how to avoid the UEFI boot by selecting legacy in the BIOS and choosing CD / DVD as primary boot option.
    After that we wiped the computer completely with Dereks Boot and Nuke and figured we then could boot from CD.
    Because we haven't used the laptop, there was no data we would miss, and therefore we haven't made a windows 8 recovery CD before wiping the computer.
    We then figured with BIOS set to boot from CD and no OS on the laptop, it would be piece of cake to install one of our Windows systems.
    However, when trying to boot from CD the booting seems to begin, but then immidiately states that there have been an error, or returns to boot menu, depending on the installation disc. 
    When using a Windows 7 installation disc it just returns to boot menu again, without seeming to start booting.
    Then you can select CD again and again return to menu again, soforth... 
    When using a Windows XP installation disc, it seems to start booting and states that an error has been found and windows has been closed down to prevent damage. Technical data: STOP:0X0000007B (0XF78D2524,0XC0000034,0X00000000, 0X00000000)
    It should be mentioned that the Windows 7 installation disc is originally for a Medion PC and the XP installation disc for a Dell laptop, but we didn't think this was a problem.
    So - what can we do now?
    Is it even possible to install Windows 7 (preferably) or Windows XP on the Lenovo B590?
    If not, how do we get windows 8 back again, so it will at least be functioning. 

    It's a weekend, forum traffic tends to be a little slow.

  • Integrated microphone stopped working suddenly on my HP i-7 DV6! I tried everything!

    Hi guys! Thanks to anyone seeing this. My laptop's integrated microphone stopped working suddenly. I have daily skype meetings and it worked perfectly fine but today it suddenly didn't work. I didn't make any significant changes before that.
    I tried uninstalling and installing the drivers from the website but when I uninstalled, the new drivers said that a device is missing. I cannot paste the error message exactly how is written for you because it is in greek. but the translation is that a device part is missing or something.
    after that I've done a system restore went back 4 days and I have now my drivers back but the microphone still isn't working.
    I figured out that if i plug my apple headphones i can hear audio but it doesnt detect my recording. (i dont know if it's supposed to anyway!
    Thanks in advance to anyone that might have a solution!

    Thank you for this. You are amazing for trying to help me. I kept on not being able to find the solution for 2 days and no voice application worked until yesterday evening. I logged into an online shop and bought a headset costing £10. As long as I entered my details and pressed PAY, my girlfriend called me on skype and voila, she could hear me. I think there might be something wrong with the insides of my laptop! Might be a significant amount of dust and dirt.
