Lenovo G505S microphone jack

There is none lol. When I bought this laptop, in the store there was 1x microphone jack. Lol not really. I have one gaming headset and I can't use it, becuse it's microphone and audio needs separate jacks. Any good suggestion, how to fix it? Becuse first of all, when I insert my audio, the internal mic is not working too, and secondly, internal mic is one of the crappiest I have ever seen lol. So, in conclusion, I need to use my gaming headset on this comp, HOW?

hi dataplayer,
Thanks for posting and sorry to hear about your trouble.
If you only see one jack for the mic/headphone then it's most likely an audio combo jack as discussed in this article.
If your gaming headset uses a separate connector for the mic/headphone then you will may need to get a PC Headset to 3.5mm adapter (like this item).

No microphone jack and my headphone jack isn't working. N858

I just got a Lenovo N585, and I've got to say it's one confusing laptop, at least for me. Well I tried plugging in my headphones into the head phone jack, and its works externally, but there is no sound coming out of my head phones. I am wondering if theres some program I have to run to make it work correctly. Also why is there not a microphone jack?

Hi Awkwardness2,
Thanks for posting and Welcome to Lenovo Community,
the machine has combo audio jack ,which is 1 socket for the speakers and the microphone
you need to buy a new headphone with combo audio jack or get an adapter to fix this issue
let me know if that fix the issue or not

Y410p Front headphone and microphone jacks not working after repair

I recently (last month) sent my IdeaPad Y410p in to Lenovo for repairs due to the laptop not turning on, or repeatedly restarting at the BIOS screen. The laptop was repaired by Lenovo (they replaced the motherboard), and returned it to me. The laptop has worked great sincce then, except that the two USB ports on the right side and the headphone and microphone jacks do not work. I have reinstalled the audio drivers, twice, but have not reinstalled the chipset drivers at all, as I don't want to screw around with those untiol I no more about what I should do. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Talonek, welcome to the forums,
the problem you are experiencing is probably due to the cable connecting the ports on the right side, front of system, to the mainboard unfortunately not being connected or connected properly. Please see pdf page 52 of the system's Hardware Maintenance Manual.
I've never taken an Y410p apart, but having looked at the manual the cable connection may well be accessible to check / fix by removing the hard drive. Another alternative would be to call service and ask them to do this for you.

W520 - No microphone jack

I recently purchased a new W520 laptop and was trying to plug in my headset with built in microphone for using skype. My old thinkpad T500 had two audio jacks, one for headphones/speakers and one for a microphone, right on the front. My headset also has 2 3.5 mm jacks. The new W520 only has a single audio jack with a picture of a headset with microphone above it. How can I plug my headset in? Do I need a different type of headset, or is there some kind of joining adapter I can get that will allow me to plug in a my dual jack headset to the laptop?
Will this do what I need or is this only for combining two audio signals of the same type (i.e. 2 input or 2 output, not one input and one output)

Hi calculate, and welcome to the Lenovo Community!
That won't work :-(. It's just a Y splitter, and only a three-conductor splitter at that.
Check this knowledge base for adapters community members have found:

Problem with Microphone Jack on Advanced Dock with T61p

When I plug a microphone into either the microphone jack on the T61p or on
the advanced dock, I can set the playback volume and use playback functions
as expected. However, when I try to use record functions, only the microphone
jack on the T61p works. I get nothing when the microphone is plugged into
the advanced dock. Is there some setting one must do to get record functions
to work with the advanced dock microphone jack and not just the T61p????

I finally solved this by going back to an older set of SoundMAX drivers found in this thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&message.id=24566&query.id=180...
The older driver solves this problem!
I can't believe Lenovo hasn't fixed this!

Lenovo G505 Wifi Problems - Limited Connection, No Connection, and Dropped Connections

Some forum members have reported a variety of Wifi issues with their G505 laptops. Their reports range from showing "Connection is limited", to Wifi connections dropping repeatedly, to being unable to make a Wifi connection at all. I combined multiple threads in order to assist forum members with troubleshooting solutions.
If your G505 was upgraded to Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and then lost connectivity, or you recently purchased a G505 running Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and are unable to connect, try following the instructions posted by Vikramsbox to restore the connection through the Lenovo Communications Utility.
For non-Windows 8.0 or 8.1 users, start troubleshooting with the basics:
The most recent WLAN, BIOS, and Power Management drivers from Lenovo can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g505-no...
It is also good practice to verify your Wifi is activated by following the instructions from Neokenchi.
Check Power Management settings to ensure your laptop isn't turning off the Wifi as noted by Dannyk1.
Check to see that Airplane Mode is set to OFF by following the instructions provided by Shiv_K.
After trying those steps, if you still experience a Wifi issue with your G505, other troubleshooting steps have been noted in this thread. This includes a whitelist of accepted replacement WLAN cards posted by Topmahof and a 3rd party driver which resolved wifi issues for Miila and Jessemck125. Please note that while Lenovo does not support 3rd part drivers, it may be an option to consider if your laptop is out of warranty and none of the suggestions in the thread resolve the issue.

First computer was a 1980 Commodore 64 from Radio Shack/ GEnie SFRT member from 1993-1996

First is to update your Atheros/Broadcom driver for your G505 here:http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wlan117w8.exe
From what I understand, the situation is that you get limited connectivity while your other devices that are connected to the router gets uninterrupted internet access.
After updating your drivers, you can try to flush your DNS cache by copy and pasting this code to your notepad and saving it as FlushDNS.bat
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
Note that this will restart your computer so make sure to save your session first.
Here's the link that explains the benefit of flushing DNS: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/144365-network-posting-tips.html

HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls. please help as I use it for conference calls

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Route sound output to microphone jack?

Hi,
I have a 5.1 Soundsystem I want to use.
My Notebook has 2 headphone jacks and one microphone jack.
Is it possible to route the sound so that micropone jack outputs front/center headphone1 gives front and headphone 2 gives rear with ALSA?
I already used the board search and found a thread that links to this page. But I did not really understand what's done in this .asoundrc file.

You will have to experiment with ttable entries, to see if it will work - see upmixing examples.

Microphone jack not working

I have an HP G60 Notebook PC and whenever I want to feed something into the microphone jack it records badly. What I'm trying to do is directly feed audio into the microphone jack. I can get it to work on another laptop perfectly but for some reason when I do it on my HP it sounds like its playing back underwater. Its distorted and the volume varies. Any help would be awesome.

YOU should look at these two other threads

Question : My father recently bought me a new Headset. It's a great Headset with good quality(I GUESS) and a microphone which is what I need.(SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED YOU) Anyway, I was disappointed when I noticed there was a microphone input/wire, there wasn't any microphone jack for it on the computer/laptop. It would be a waste of money if I would have to switch inputs/outputs. Is there a possible way to use the headphones and the microphone simultaneously? Please help, I've been wanting a Headset with a microphone and I finally received one and this occured. Please help. I don't want to purchase any external thing for the microphone jack, if I do, Apple should re-design the MacBook Pro, sorry, though. I don't think the Apple earphones or Ear pods came along with this computer/laptop, so, why only one jack for the headphones? Anyway, sorry for any offensive feedback or sayings. Thank you, though.

Use a usb port and usb adapter. There is no mic in on Mackbook Pros. Return the headset for a uisb headset with mic.

Presario C751NR Microphone jack not detected, internal Mic works OK

I made sure that I have the most current Conexant audio driver installed: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-64867-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us〈=en&os=2093&product=3646600 When I plug a microphone into the microphone jack on the front, the driver does not detect the change and maintains a connection to the microphone built in to the display lid. Going in to the control panel and looking at the microphone's "Jack Information" indicator dot when an external microphone is plugged in shows it staying black. Does anyone have any ideas? It has always been like that, but I would like to be able to use the microphone jack. System is running Vista Home Premium (32 Bit) with SP2 and all current system updates.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's possible your premier pro is confusing it, does it work without that connected ?
Plantronics claim that device is OSX compatible and doesn't need any drivers (even though the mode is discontinued)

If you run Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup does that recognise the device ?
