Mic input sound port not working.....

Any thoughts?

Hi. Well - it's not actually a mic input port, it's line level.
The signal level from simple microphones is often too low for the the 'line' level analogue audio-in port on the G5.
The solution is to use either a self-powered microphone, a pre-amplifier or, possibly the most useful and flexible (and most popular) - a USB audio interface such as the 'iMic'

There is some discussion and further suggestions here

and elsewhere if you enter "microphone" in the search box at top right of this forum, under 'Search Discussions'. Good Luck.

  • 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 ipod say it has headphones in when it does not so the sound does not work. What do i do? I have already reset it a lot.

    My ipod sound is not working! I dropped it in water and it works fine but i can not hear anything. It say theat it has headphones in but there are no headphones in. What do i do? I have already reset it.

    Glad to have helped. One more thing to try, after drying your iPod. Try plugging and unplugging the headphone jack quickly about 12 times, it could be that the switch inside the port is stuck, many times this action will un-stick it. If the problem continues you may need to look into purchasing an out of warranty iPod, refurbished one are cheaper. Also, if you have not already done so, BACKUP ALL YOUR STUFF from this iPod to your computer, water damaged iPods have a habit of stop working without any notice. Hope this helps, Good luck.

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • The sound is not working on my iphone

    the sound is not working on my iphone it has suddenly stopped can someone please help me?

    None of these methods worked, so I just took a very thin paintbrush and dampened it using a Clorox wipe. Then, I just wiggled it around in the charging port. The sound worked for like 3 seconds then it stopped again. So I continued to clean it and it worked! After I listened to my music for about 30 minutes until it stopped again. I just blew hard into the port and it started working again. I think the problem was that the phone thought it was docked into speakers because it was so dirty. I think I'm going to get an Otterbox so this doesn't happen again. I hope I helped.

  • My sound will not work

    My sound will not work when I unplug my headphones.  A red light is also appearing in the headphone jack.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

    Best.

  • My sound does not work on my computer

    Hey
    I don't know if anyone can help me but my sound is not working on my computer. I went to my system preferences and when I click on output it says that the device has no output controls. I don't know why it is doing this. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/No+sound+in+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Video+or+audio+does+not+play
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

    Hi,
    I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
    I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
    Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

    I got this issue resolved.
    It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
    It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
    drops of a cleaner.
    Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

  • [SOLVED] Sound (snd_hda_intel) not working after resume from suspend

    Using the latest kernel 2.6.30.4, On HP2133, whenever I get back from resume, sound is not working.
    Running the following brings back the sound, but that is obviously a hack:
    fuser -k /dev/snd/*
    rmmod snd_hda_intel
    modprobe snd_hda_intel
    /etc/rc.d/alsa start
    I have on my /etc/modprobe/50-sound.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
    Here's the exact hardware specification:
    # lspci -nnv|grep Audio
    80:01.0 Audio device [0403]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) [1106:3288] (rev 10)
    Any idea where to look for this?

    [SOLVED]
    I downgraded to kernel 2.6.29 and the problem is gone.
    Note: I also had X VT problems with 2.6.30.4 (xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call). Those were solved too by downgrading to 2.6.29.

  • Transferred a video from phone to macbook pro but sound is not working.

    I transferred a video from my phone to my macbook pro. the transfer was successful but the sound is not working on the computer, totally mute. the video is playing on quicktime player. the computer sound is on. the video was working fine on the phone and when i transferred the video, if this makes any difference or anything, the phone's media volume was on full.
    I very much appreciate the help and feed back, thank you!

    I have this same issue and have been struggling with it for a while.  I really just need to get it into Apple Store to be fixed most likely - but avoiding the hassle and time needed to do so.
    Things I've come across:
    Something inside of the headphone jack is not right, such that it randomly thinks headphones or some other type of optical audio device are plugged in.  you will see a red light inside the jack occasionally when it happens.
    You might try doing PRAM and/or SMC reset ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 )

    Hello Hartnett01,
    Thank you for the details you provided regarding your audio issue you are experiencing on your iPad.  I found a couple of resources that I think might help. 
    First, I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):
