Macbook Air Microphone Volume Very Low

I've had a few Facetime, Google+ Hangout, and Skype sessions with verious people and a common complaint is that the mic volume on my 2011 Macbook Air 13 is very low despite the gain being turned all the way up. I found a thread where other people are experiencing this same issue. I was hoping to get some feedback from others to see how common this issue is. It would be interesting to see if it is in fact an issue with all Macbook Air's and could possibly be a driver or design issue.

Same issue (very low microphone volume) with my new 2011 Macbook Air 13". I bought it the first day they were available from Apple Store, but just tried FaceTime today. Volume not acceptable.
Looked at system preferences and slid slider all way to max... still not enough volume. I had to put my head to the side within a few inches of microphone before the sound sort of was loud enough. Tried ambient off/on and worse when had it off.
Just tested the sound with my niece's boyfriend new 11" model (he got about 1 week ago). Input volume on his unit is ideal. Sounds great. So not likely an Lion issue... likely something with my unit (and others based on this post and others).
I have yet to find any solution on the forum or support area, so will call Apple tomorrow or visit store to see if they can resolve the problem.

IPad Air microphone volume very low

I've been using iPad 2 to iPad 2 FaceTime for long time. The voice are absolutely cristal clear. But the other party recently bought a new iPad Air, which has caused very low and troppy voice when I hear from my iPad 2. The other party has indicated to me that they can hear me clearly and even louder than iPad 2. The situation is not unique because they have tried on a different new iPad Air with me which yielded the same result. The Skype test shows no significant difference between 2x iPad 2 and iPad 2 to iPad Air. I'd also imagine there will be no much volume difference when FaceTime between 2 iPad Air.
So the bottom line is that Apple will need to fix the FaceTime bewteen iPad 2 and iPad Air for inbalanced volume setting.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I saw one post where a user said dust got in the small mic hole. Used a vacuum cleaner to remove and audio restored. Try it.

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)? I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

For global alerts, yes:
There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

Macbook air cpu charge is lower than 5%, but temperature is more than 90°C and fans don't speed up ! is it normal ?

hello,
my macbook air cpu charge is lower than 5% (i.e. no apps are loaded only the finder, istat menu give me a cpu charge near 3%),
but temperature is more than 90°C and fans don't speed up !
is it normal ?

It is degrees C.
when the computer has a normal behavour with no CPU charge, its temp is about 35°C
but sometimes temp increase to 90°C and more.
because i don't heard the fan speed increasing (I almost don't heard the fan so i think they should stay at 2000rpm), I'm afraid to burn the CPU and shut down the mac
i didn't let him get hotter.

Incoming ring and text volume very low!

hi, have recently noticed that when i lower volume level for music,video,games,other media, it also reduces my ringtone and notification volume level too! (even though the slider bar level is on max for ringtones,notifications.) so if for e.g i lower video volume on youtube etc, it takes my incoming call and text volume down too! this never use to happen and only noticed when i saw led missed call,text, flashing.try your own z3c?
settings-
sound-
volumes-
music,video,etc (on low)-
ringtone&notification(max)
ok.
now check incoming call,text volume (very low on mine) so i have to reset music,video,games etc to max to hear incoming calls,texts but i dont want max volume for music,video,,,
b.t.w I'm still on kitkat 4.4.4 but as i said the volume levels could be individually adjusted since out of box.
now strange thing is my mate has the xperia sp and i checked his yesterday and he had same issue (jellybean) and because his volume level on video,games etc is low but max on ringtone,text he too misses calls and texts! (unless of course he sets max volume on the video,games). also using volume on side of phone has no effect either.
any ideas?
cheers.

Microphone integrated very low volume.

Hello,
A few days ago the microphone on my Macbook has not captured the sound with the same quality as before.
I do sometimes podcast and approximately one month that I'm not doin a podcast but I was yesterday recording my voice and does not sound.
But when testing by the video chat the audio was good. The audio is so bad when you record in Garageband and the Photo Booth.
What is the problem?Should I go to an assistance?

I have reinstalled Windows 8 Pro twice, both times formatting the disk.
The first time, I connected the microphone immediately after the OS install.
The second time, I connected the microphone only after all Windows Updates and device drivers were applied.
In both cases, the problem of very low input volume remains.
I searched online, and found somebody else has the same problem with a different vendors microphone.
I quote from:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/1251-73-microphone-input
"I use Cakewalk for sound processing and have discovered that my Samson CO1U
microphone has almost no input strength under Windows 8. I have tweaked about everything I can imagine. Any ideas? "
On my machine, I looked at Device Manager and found:
From the above screenshot, it seems like the USBAUDIO.sys file is one of several being used.
Unless I am mistaken, all of the sound device driver files for the USB Audio CODEC are Microsoft files.
If so, can we please get a Windows Update on this issue?
Awaiting in anticipation ....

Electric guitar volume very low

I have a Saffire Pro 14 audio interface connected via Firewire. Running my electric guitar through it into my Mac Pro and my MacBook. No matter what I do, the sound level is very low. I'm pretty sure I was able to solve this problem before because I'm looking at some recordings I did a while back and the waveform looks normal, the volume seems fine. However, when I record now I have to turn up the amp output levels to the maximum to get any kind of sound at all, in addition to turning up the volume knobs on the guitar itself. In addition, when I turn up the track volume on playback, the level indicator goes into the red even when the audio is moderately audible. The waveform looks flat. I think this is worse on my Mac Pro than on the MacBook.
Also, sometimes the signal just drops out completely for a few seconds. Dead space, as if I overloaded a circuit or something (which is possible, since I've turned up the output levels all the way on the virtual amp).

that sounds like your problem, guitars are not line-level instruments.

The only gain knobs on the Saffire are for inputs 1 and 2 (the XLR Mic inputs).
those aren't XLR connectors, they're Neutrik style connectors. plug into either of those

BMW - Bluetooth Volume - Very Low

I currently drive a BMW 328xi with Navigation paired with an iPhone 3GS. Is anyone else experiencing low speaker volume coming through the car speakers? I've maxed out my settings, but the volume is still very low. I'm assuming that the microphone is fine, because the other party can hear me well.
If anyone has run into similar issues and has a fix, please post.
Thank you.

Out of curiosity, have you used the side volume button on your iPhone to maximize the volume when the phone is in use?
The iPhone unlike other phones, remembers the volume settings per audio source so that it doesn't quite affect hearing if you want it loud in one setting and then quiet with another (which could be more powerful).
Additionally I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with Navi system (not quite a sweet as your wheels) but have read on the SYNC forums (which allow me to integrate the bluetooth phone in with the stereo like your BMW) that some of the NAVI systems tend to be quieter...
Each time when I go to use the phone for the first time in the car I still need to crank the phone volume as the car keeps putting it only to 1/4th of the stereo volume... That's the other pain that I keep encountering...
As for the other party, they can hear you fine because of the positioning of the microphone in your car... It's between the phone's volume (remembering) setting and that of your car stereo...
Hope this helps... Let us know if this helps at all!

MacBook Air microphone picking up background noise and not my voice?

Hello! I really like my MacBook Air. It is truly the best computer I have ever had. However, I was very disappointed whenever I attempted to use my MacBook Air's micrphone to find that it was picking up the background noise, and not my voice. I can hear my voice whenever I record something, but it is very quiet, like the background noise cancelling software is treating my voice like the background noise and the background noise like my voice. For example, it picks up every little bump on the computer and every click and press of the key, but it won't pick up my voice at full volume! I know it is not a software problem as I reinstalled OS X, and whenever that didn't work, I erased and reinstalled OS X. Any suggestions?

macbook Air condenser mic assy. is easy to remove and replace. (see pic below of Air mic assembly).
Mics are delicate instruments as is their nature, however the damage you experienced is either damage, or defect, nobody can know.
However I can accurately say without doubt its very rare what you experienced.
the little condenser unit could have been defective, and gave out, or myriad other possible's. I cannot pinpoint it over the web, even if I had it in my hands, still couldnt because youd have to dissect the tiny little mics to find out, and nobody will do that, just yank the old, and install the new ones.
a 'painless' repair however to be certain, quick and easy to do.

IMac Time Capsule OK, Macbook Air Time Capsule Very Slow, both 10.9.5

I am struggling for more than a week trying to find an answer, but failed, hope someone can help me out
It seems after I upgraded to 10.9.5, a message on my Macbook appeared that I believe advised me to do a new full back-up on my Time Capsule. I did, it was slow, few MB after 1 hour or so, so I cancelled it. Whatever I tried, it remains a problem, I am now backing up 180GB to a 2TB Time Capsule, and it is at 53GB after 10 hours, now running at about 1GB/3 hours. My iMac, also on 10.9.5, connected to the very same Time Capsule on the same network runs smoothly, backing up 850GB in 8 hours or so.
What I have done so far, that did not help:
- Reformatted my Time Capsule completely,
- Run Disk Utility on Macbook, Repair Disk permission, Repair Disk.
- After Repair Disk Permissions it completes OK, but when I immediately run it again if finds the same problems, which it says have been corrected, see screenshot
- Disconnected my iMac from the network, sticked the very same network cable in my MacBook, ran Time Machine again, no difference
My set up:
1x Macbook Air, mid 2002, 250GB of which 70GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
1x iMac, beginning 2009, 1TB of which 150GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
1x Time Capsule 2TB, running latest firmware 7.6.4
All networked to the same network, no wireless connections
Prior to 10.9.5 I did not have this problem. I am pretty much lost. Anybody?

USB to ethernet has never been great.. although why it is worse with 10.9.5 is typical quality of apple upgrades these days.
7GB/hr sure aint fast.. it will go fairly slowly over the small files but should speed up on the larger ones.
I would take another step.. since you have come this far..
Check your wireless link speed. Depending on the age of the TC (yours in gen4) and the air.. you link speed should show 450mbps in the wifi on the mac.
Check it now..
Transmit rate should show 450.. you might need to setup close to the TC to get it.
But I achieve that by setting different names for the two bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
By default my mac will choose 2.4ghz .. because it is based on the best signal not the best speed. On 2.4ghz it can achieve 217Mbps max. Usually it will drop to 130. So by using a different name I can force the connection to the highest speed.
As you can probably tell.. IMHO using auto for everything is a great way to get things to work.. but how well they work is optimised by a committee.
Setting all the factors myself I set what I want and produce a racehorse instead of a camel.
(It is a typical joke.. camel is a horse designed by a committee!!).

GT70 Microphone Volume too low

I am experiencing low microphone volume even when "Level" is set to 100% and boost set max (30). I have tried lots of suggestions from the web but no luck so far. When I remove the RealTek HD Audio Manager drivers, it gets a little better but still not loud enough for the other party to hear me well. Any help would be appreciated.

This may or may not work, but it did for my CR600.
Download the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. High Definition Audio System Software Ver: R2.19.
After installing this driver perform a Driver update and let windows download the newest driver. This now works setting microphone to 100% and boost to 20%. Also when a microphone is plugged in it pops up a new Information screen on the task system icon screen in lower right ReakTek HD Audio Manager.

Macbook Air - Bluetooth PAN - Very Very Slow

I am desperate for a solution. I am trying to use Bluetooth PAN with my HTC Touch Dual and my MacBook Air. It works with my MacBook Pro. It works with my Windows XP machine.
The whole purpose of getting the MBA was to lighten my load when I am on the road (all day). Now, I have to switch back to the MBP. I have tried everything, and my connection to the MBA is very, very slowwww.
Help!

I might have a solution for you, but its a crappy one.
I have the exact same problem with this phone and my new 17 Inch Macbook Pro.
What fixed it for me was using a Bluetooth Dongle instead of the built in Bluetooth. You need to add a second PAN connection in the Network Prefs and repair everything, but when you get it all configured correctly and use the Dongle instead of the built in Bluetooth, I bet it works flawlessly.
There is something wrong with how Apples newer Bluetooth hardware is interacting with this phone. I even went to an Apple Store and tested on another 17 inch Macbook to make sure it wasent just my computer. The older Macbooks worked fine, so its something in the newer hardware.
Call Apple, make them aware that this is an issue with all their newer stuff. Let them (and me) know if using an external bluetooth adapter fixed the issue for you.

X-fi Xtreme Music soundcard PROBLEM: Microphone volume too low(unusab

Hello, I've spent a while?sifting through these forums and?can't find any solution to this problem. Many people have been asking this same question and?aren't getting any solutions. When I say the microphone is?too low, I mean it's at the lowest possible volume it could?run at,?so it's unusable and?might as well not be functioning at all. Keep in mind every volume setting on the computer has been set to max.
Is their anyone?that?owns a X-fi xtreme music sound card?using a?microphone that does work?If so, what microphone are you using?I'm only?suggesting that theirs some odd settings with this card that only allow a certain kind of microphone to work with it. I'm using an old mic that works perfectly with my sb li've and that I've had for 3 years now. I'll echo the same basic details I've already checked over. They can be found in other customers' posts who are having this?same problem.) Microphone works - tested on other systems and other cards2) Microphone volume is on max - both in recording and playback (although playback is muted)3) Gain is enabled - Ticked +20dB box4) Drivers are current - tried shipped drivers, current stable, and beta release?Here are more links to this problem, which has not been solved yet:

http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=29980#M4984
I?suspect no one?has?the answer to this problem?yet. But could someone please tell me if they are using this soundcard with a mic that is working. If so please tell me what microphone you are using.

I don't know if this is the latest thread but it seems to be. Obviously this is a big prob for a lot of pee
ps.
I have Just built a new machine and included a X-Fi Extreme audio for the 8 channel sound capabilities for movie viewing etc, but .. I also run Teamspeak servers for several games ( WoW , UT , CS etc) and find myself unable to communicate using said card. problem is mic boost is available in playback mode but not in record mode. If you activate mic boost in playback it does actually increase volume in output mode also (don't ask me why) ...but not by much . Not enough for peeps on the other end to hear you while gaming. So... if you can boost mic on playback , why not on record ? which is where it is suposed to be in the first place. there are a LOT of frustrated gamers out there that have paid good money for the surround experience but are unable to do what previous cards have done well .... and that is allow communication between players . please don't ignore this as this is not an operating system problem.... i have installed this card on Vista and XP (both X64 and 32)? and still no mic boost from the software available. you know the problem .. at least acknowledge it and give an update. thank you?Fly
