Mic Port Problem

I bought a Toshiba Notebook around Christmas. Recently, I bought a Mic and noticed the port has something in it so I can't use the port. How can I get this fixed?

What Toshiba notebook did you buy? What is the full model number/name? What is your model's part number? You can find this info on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. Windows 7 32bit or 64bit?
Exactly what make and model of mic did you buy? What port has something in it? Mic port? USB port? Does your model not have a built-in mic?

Need help on Audigy 2, mic port is not work

Well, here it goes. I just recently formated and reinstalled windows. I did the dri'ves for my card, got all the sound out puts working. When I go to use my mic, I can not get it to even work. I changed my mic's out and still got nothing. I looked at all the input opitions, messed with mute and unmute still nothing.
I would gladly be greatful if someone could help to releave this problem of mine.
Thanks!

Those drivers are fine for your card.
Onboard sound is a separate sound 'card' which is integrated into motherboard ... it normally becomes disabled automatically when another audio device is present but not all systems does this w/o changing some BIOS settings regarding Onboard Audio.
You can disable the onboard sound through "Device manager" by just selecting "disable"? on device properties for onboard sound.
Did you run the mmsys.cpl and checked if those play and recording devices are correcttly set ... also, as you maybe don't? have Creative Surround Mixer available, then did you enable the Mic port (start run... sndvol32.exe (sndvol32.exe /R for recording options)?
Are you sure you have connected the microphone correctly (check on the user's guide (you'll find one from downloads if you have lost your CD))?

To acess the mic port on the motherboard

i m building a lan chatting softwere. i got stuck in the problem to acess mic port on the motherboard. please help me out of this problem.thanx

There is not really a "mic port on the motherboard". It's part of the soundcard, and it's AFAIK represented by the soundcard's "recording device" driver. Did you ever have a look at JMF?

Anyway to get combo headphone/mic port to work on Win7 (iMac 27" '13)

Hi,
I just ordered a split cable for the 3,5mm headphone/mic port to be able to use my headset. OS X recognizes the headset - it changes from the internal mic to the external, so no problem with that. But when using Windows 7 (Bootcamp, not virtual) it's not possible to select the external mic, there's only iMac's internal mic listed in "Recording devices".
No doubt this is a driver issue, but is there any solution for it? And yeah, I could buy USB headset or external audio interface, but let's forget those options for now. Sorry if asked (and it surely is) many times before, couldn't find anything with google.
Thanks!

AA3 Sound input from computer mic port-help needed

My new HP desktop has Vista 64 home premium (with creative soundblaster soundcard upgrade) and
I've installed audition3 and have it working fine when using audio files
but now I want to record audio using the mic port on the desktop. I have a headset mic (from dragon speaking software)
and the windows sound recorder hears the mic just fine. I am going nuts trying to get AA3 to hear it!
Any turotials I haven't found yet?

I spent 3 hrs at it, durin and steve thanks! now
there is audio from the mic input in edit view. I hope to find it in multitrack view but need a break!
my problem with vista is that i'm so anti-change that i'd rether stay with it. I dont know how to change to Win 7 and as Steve says there3 is concern that we waqit for next version so the bugs are fewer. like Steve, I liked XP; I would take it back, but I'm not a tecchie and have no time to learn these thiongs.
thanks again

Portege R835 USB 3.0 port problem (Shutdown everytime)

Hello,
The problem is that the USB 3.0 port continues to turn off shortly after connecting any device (mouse, usb memory, printer...).
The only way to restore it's functionality is to reboot. I have continued to have this problem since I bought the computer.
There is no issue with the 2 USB 2.0 ports.
I have bios 3.0, win 7 64bit home premium.
Few other people have address the same problem here before but I didn't see any solution.
Please Help!

I'm facing a problem with my ipad3 importing picture from ipad to my windows PC,my pc says port problem..What should I do?

my ipad is 3rd generation+cellular. ios7.1.2 .storage capacity 13.2 GB
the problem i'm facing is when i insert my ipad to my pc the autoplay option is not appearing as a result i'm not able to take pics from ipad to pc,,,,generally autoplay option appears & i used to take pics but now i cant..I went to device manager option & there i discover some random port problem.what should i do?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Z68A-GD80 G3 rear audio port problem

Just built his system a couple of weeks ago. My first build. When I first started the system, I was using the integrated graphics. I had my speakers plugged into the green audio jack on the MB, and it worked fine. Used it like this for a couple of days while transferring programs, photos, etc. I was never able to get the HDMI port working to set up both monitors, so I removed the graphic card from my old computer (GE Force 210), installed it in the new computer and installed the NVIDIA drivers for it. This got both monitors working, but then I found the sound was not working. I tried connecting the speakers to the surround sound ports and they worked, but at a very low volume. I finally connected the speakers to the front speaker port. This works but the sound quality is not very good. I get random? static noises.
I had it this way for a few days while I tried to troubleshoot the problem. It seemed like the problem started after installing the graphic card and drivers, so I removed them and tried it again. Still the rear speaker port did not work. Also, at this time I tried to get the dual monitor setup working again. I had found that the IGD multi-monitor setting was disabled, and assumed that was why I could not get both monitors working the first time around. After enabling this setting, still could not get both monitors working. No HDMI. I am really not too concerned about this, as I plan to get a better graphic card, but thought that it might be related to the audio port problem.
I believe there is a newer version of BIOS, but I am not sure if that is something that I want to tackle. Does anyone have any ideas of what could cause this? Thanks.
Monty

Not real sure of this since I haven't been personally involved in it, but the HDMI problem could be related to a cable issue? HDMI 1.4 versus older types? Monitor v1.4 compliant, etc.?
A battery removed CMOS clear & reset may be of help. It's worth a try. If the sound was clear & worked normal before, I doubt a UEFI/BIOS update would be of benefit. Something hardware related, drivers, or the way the OS is responding are my guesses for the sound problem & static.
A corruption in Windows is always a possibility. Doing a fresh install of the OS may help. Maybe before that extreme, using a utility like driver sweeper to get a fresh start with the audio drivers. Presume the speaker system is a self powered unit?

MDD mic port

I was reading some of the threads regarding the mic port on the MDDs (because I can't seem to get mine to work with the mics I have). Turns out the old Apple talk mic isn't compatible (no prob). Used 2 other newer mics, doesn't work (but they work on my...ahem...PC). Then I read something about "mic preamps" that you connect your mic to, to boost the voltage going into the port. But these are expensive, and completely pointless for day to day use.
No ordinary mic will work in the in-line port. Why is it like that with these MDDs. My older G4 never needed anything like that? I plugin any mic, and boom, it works.
I also read about iMic. But that connects via USB. So what's the point of having that line in port if you can't use it. Unless, of course, your willing to dish out some cash for preamps. All I want to do is talk with friends on-line via webcam, and use voice recog apps.
Anyone have a simpler alternative to get a mic working on this system? Perhaps a mic that's built specifically for the MDD.
Thanks.
G4 MDD Dual 1GB, 1.5GB ram, LG DVD-RW + Superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.8) 80GB, 120GB, 2x 250GB HDs, Radeon 9000 128MB

Well, after some searching for these "mics with their own power supply", I have found out there is no such thing. The closest answer I've gotten is plugging a mixer (using a 3.5mm jack to RCA audio input jacks) to the available input port. And then plugging any old mic to that mixer/audio board.
That or the iMic. I don't like speaking ill will of Apple, and rarely do. But boo to them for this. Something as simple as using any mic (as you could with previous G4s), now becomes an expensive (not to mention unnecessary) venture.
Just wondering why Apple did this, and only for the Quicksilver and MDD models? Other than the obvious "cash cow".
Looks like I'll have to get a USB mic. The question now, is will ANY USB mic (not headset with mic) work on the MDD?

A Quality Assurance Engineer's perspective on Neo2 PS/2 Port Problems.

I came here looking for some insight . . . . and while i got some confirmation that it's a common problem, I think some things need to be cleared up.
There's a mistake being made that disconnects cause and effect by lumping together effects that aren't necessarily from the same cause. Don't feel bad, everybody does it, I've just been trained to be critical about it.
I think there is more than one issue. Here's why.
1: I think the chipset or BIOS is cooking the ps/2 mouse data stream (and maybe USB HID data streams as well) when the "BIOS Support for USB Mouse" option is turned on. By this i mean that it's presenting the operating system with a virtual mouse device and working some behind-the-scenes magic on the data between computer and mouse.
My evidence:
With that option turned on, Linux kernel 2.6.12.2 (vanilla kernel.org sources) says this:
Jul 10 19:38:00 type kernel: input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1
Jul 10 19:38:00 type kernel: psmouse.c: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1
Jul 10 19:38:01 type kernel: psmouse.c: Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.
And with that option turned off, the kernel says this:
Jul 11 21:58:48 type kernel: input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1
I think this bios option prevents the linux kernel serio driver from allowing the psmouse driver to perform two-way communication with the mouse in the standard way.
Disabling this bios option also makes all my PS/2 mice and trackballs work on bootup, where all of them needed to be re-plugged or have the kvm switch to another port and back before they would work previously.
I think many people are having some of their problems purely because of this bios option.
I think this is very bad, and that the developers responsible for this bios feature should be subjected to a public flogging and sent to a reeducation camp where they might learn to respect the law that the quality of a piece of software is inversely proportional to the amount of magic performed within it.
I can't even think of what the advantage of a virtual PS/2 mouse would be. You want to run DOS with mouse.com driving your usb mouse or something? We're supporting Win95 OSR1 users? I guess it might make Partition Magic boot floppies a tiny bit easier to manage, but sheesh. The damage far outweighs the benefit.
Even when it works, it will only work for fairly plain mice that don't need special protocols to work.
I don't think MSI did this, I think the bios vendor did it, and MSI doesn't realize what's going on.
Yes, I know the Explorer is a USB mouse on a PS/2 adapter, but i started down this road because my Logitech trackball - which uses the MouseManPlus protocol - and it still didn't work right when i replaced the mouse. I have a PS/2 based KVM that I'd like to keep using. The KVM has been out of the loop for these diagnostics.
2: While i admit that it could very well be a PS/2 port power issue, I think it has nothing at all to do with system power supply problems, least of all the 12V rail.
Why? Why on earth would my 5V keyboard and mouse care what's happening on the 12V rail, what's why.
Furthermore, the same KB and mouse mostly kinda/sorta work on a USB to PS2 adapter cable, which is on the exact same 5V rail as the keyboard and mouse ports, and if anything should draw MORE power.
They are however probably on separate fuses.
If it's a power problem, I'm leaning toward it being a slow-blowing fuse on the PS/2 ports that is being pushed near it's limits and is thus rippling. This is conjecture, and only MSI's rework guys or someone with a lot of diagnostic gear can tell you for sure.
3: Having fixed the mouse initialization and synchronization problems, I still have a problem.
I replaced my Lexmark (IBM) PS/2 keyboard with a KeyTronic PS/2 keyboard, replaced my Logitech Trackman Marble FX with a Microsoft Trackball Explorer, and sometimes, I still get an input lockup.
The mouse will just stop tracking in mid-sweep and the keyboard will stop keying.
And then the kernel says this:

I wonder if the "AT Translated" designation that the atkbd driver gives the keyboard may indicate that the PS/2 keyboard is having it's data stream cooked as well?
Edit: (for geeks) - It turns out that bios can set up your keyboard as either "raw" or "translated". It's possible to switch a keyboard back into "raw" mode, but most operating systems don't do this because it can cause problems on laptops and other computers that don't have their keyboard on a normal ps/2 port.
I don't mind having a keyboard on a usb converter, but the usb converter translates the ps/2 mouse signals too poorly. My Trackman FX has no buttons on the usb converter, and the Explorer is missing two buttons on the usb converter.
4: I don't have the 'reboot' problem, but maybe that only happens in windows.
What i see sometimes is the above, and sometimes the keyboard starts responding slowly - like it takes 30 seconds per keypress. And sometimes by re-plugging the connectors i can get it to come back.
I'm CERTAIN that some of these problems - at least one of them - can be fixed in bios. If only by defaulting the mouse bios support to off. This won't keep you from being able to navigate in bios or use your USB mouse in any OS since Win95 OSR2.1.
For at least the mouse problems, it appears that many of the problems people have reported can be resolved merely by disabling "BIOS Support for USB Mouse".

Quote from: d2thez on 13-July-05, 10:00:03
Ok, I am lost to be honest, but I just need to know if this applies to me. Please help!
I have a K8N Neo Platinum for the socket 754, not a Neo2. I use a USB mouse and a PS/2 keyboard. I have both "USB keyboard/storage support" and "USB mouse support" enabled in my bios.
You have me scared from reading your post that having them enabled will short out my PS/2 or USB. Will this happen? And should I have these options enabled or not?
And finally, if I do disable them, do I lose and functionality?? Please help me out here!
Relax. You're not going to short out anything or lose any functionality.
The first one - USB Keyboard/Storage Support - this makes it possible for you to boot off of USB drives (like the flash drives) and makes USB keyboards work in DOS. It may be required to make USB keyboards work in bios setup, but i haven't tested that.
If you have a PS/2 keyboard and you don't intend to boot off of a USB drive, you can safely disable that option with no loss in functionality of any kind.
The second one - USB Mouse Support - This is a bit of software in BIOS that takes control of USB mice and makes them appear like PS/2 mice in order to provide easy mouse support for operating systmems that don't understand USB.
Specifically, DOS and Windows versions prior to Win95 OSR2.1.
Since Win95 probably won't boot at all on an Athlon64 - and in any case won't have the drivers you need for nearly anything - the only possible scenario where you might need this feature is if you were booting some old versions of Partition Magic or Norton Ghost or other utility floppy that runs on DOS, supports mouse navigation, and is old enough that it doesn't have a DOS USB mouse driver. Newer versions of pqmagic and ghost probably have usb mouse support on their boot floppies.
You can stop reading now if you just wanted to be reassured.
The reason it causes a problem is because mice are far more complex than keyboards. For some reason, even if you don't have a USB mouse installed, the signals from your PS/2 mouse are run through software in BIOS to make the signals from your mouse look like the signals from a generic PS/2 mouse - instead of a mouse that speaks the MouseMan protocol or the Intelimouse protocol or the Explorer protocol (or three or four other protocols).
This sounds like a strange way to do it, but it's actually easier in software to treat all inputs to the same logic and translate them to a virtual device than it is to detect whether translation is needed and then only translate the signals that need it.
This interferes with the mouse drivers. It also makes it impossible for some mice to 'wake up' properly when the computer is turned on.
It also doesn't work very well because it doesn't install all the myriad mouse protocols out there. KVM manufacturers have the same problem. If they fix the Intelimouse protocol they frequently break the MouseMan protocol.
If your mouse has only two or three buttons and no scroll wheel (which counts as two or three buttons), and your mouse was not made by Microsoft or Logitech, chances are your mouse only speaks the plain PS/2 Mouse protocol and you won't have problems with translation, but you might have some other symptoms. It appears that the BIOS may actually understand the Intelimouse protocol, so Microsoft mice may work anyway.

Macbook Headphone Jack no sound out but mic works problem Mavericks

Hi,
I currently was plugging my macbook Pro to a amplifier to listed music louder, It never worked. After that i Puted a Headphone and worked and unpluged it and plug the headphone again and it did not work anymore. But if i put my blackberry headphones the mic works perfect and on system preferences it says Headphone Port so the mb pro recognizes the headphone but is not able to exit the sound to the headphones. I formated the macbook pro but the problem persists. I'm trying to find a software solution because in my country Venezuela there is no apple store or Certified Tech Service so I'm on my own on this.
Hope you can help.
Thanks in Advance.

I changed them on varius settings and nothign happened. Any other ideas? Thanks

Headset port problem...

I read somewhere that the original IP had a "recessed" audio port which took a different headset with a longer male connector. Is that really true and if so, does anyone have a link to where this headset jack can be purchased?
My problem is that I'm using a case to protect my IP and the hole to plug in the standard jack doesn't allow enough room to full seat a standard ipod headset. Consequently when I plug in a standard ipod jack, my ipod starts playing automatically. For some reason I don't have the same problem when I insert the standard IP 3G headset which I don't like to use except when making a call (trying to save the mike feature).
Also, I like to stream music from "Tuner, AOL Radio, etc. If I use a standard ipod headset the darn iTunes music starts up cutting out my streaming music. And I have the same problem with the iPod feature in my car which uses the basic headset out-->aux in. For this problem, I'm thinking of buying the cable at the link below. From the picture, it looks like the plastic part right after the male part is tapered down enough that it MIGHT fit firmly down into the headset jack (through the hole in my case which I drilled out a bit).
I realize this message is a bit or more than a bit unclear, but I'm hoping someone with the same problem will understand what I'm writing.
[Apple Audio cord|http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN986LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyM g]

Hi,
i recently got the Griffin SmartTalk, not because of any problems with the connector (have the 3G, which doesn't have a recessed connector), but because i wanted to use good in-ear headphones but still keep the mic/remote alive. This adapter has a jack which might fit every iPhone situation and has a clip with mic, where you just connect your standard headphones.
I really like it!
