Microphone displaying "Not Plugged In"....WHAAAAAA?

I have a Toshiba Satellite L645-S4038 laptop and recently, I upgraded my Operating System to Windows 7 Home Premium and before, when I had Windows Vista, my sound worked GREAT, but now, when I go into Recording Devices, It shows my microphone as "not plugged in" and it's an integrated mic. Does ANYONE have a solution to this? please! I have updated my Conexant HD Audio drivers and all and still NOTHING. SOMEBODY PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#Re: Microphone FP not plugged in? First of all, Microphone FP == Front Panel Microphone so it's not the one in the back of the X-FI. If your casing have a HD compatible front header then you could hook it up to the X-Fi in order to use it (AC97 compatible headers are not supported. Check your casing's documentation).
Secondly, the mic is not working because the Titanium series has a flexi jack that defaults to Line-In mode. The only way to change it into mic mode is through creative's console launcher app. You can download it here [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=&CatName=Sound+Blaster&s ubCatID=208&subCatName=X-Fi&prodID=779&prodName=PCI+Express+X-Fi+Titanium+Fatalty+Pro+Series">Console Launcher v2.6.09[/url]
Remember to select your OS. And lastly, you might want to manually remove any previous version of the Console launcher before installing Console Launcher v2.6.09. Once installed, open up the console launcher and in Entertainment Mode select Jacks and change the option (on the left) from line-in to mic (you can also do this in game mode as well, you just have to click on Settings at the bottom). Now your mic should work properly.
Hope this helps

I check all the power cables and and connections and still not he issue. Iv'e tried C-F2 also. has anyone used this devive (AV360) on there own 27" thunderbolt display (not the imac) and gotten it to work? If so I'd appreciate the help.

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

I'm trying to install a new samsung 27" series 7 750 monitor. I have a macmini. when i plug the cord in between the computer and the mknitor, the screen goes white, but no display. When not plugged into the computer the screen stays black and cycles

I'm trying to install a samsung series 7 750 monitor for use with my mini mac. When I plug the computer to the monitor I get a blank screen, no picture. When not plugged in to the computer the screen is black and a square displAys that says analog, HDMI 1, HDMI 2. Any ideas?

Hey there saraszeg,
It sounds like you are trying to use an external monitor with your Mac Mini but cannot get more than a gray screen. You can use the following steps to help troubleshoot the Mac side of things here:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Internal Microphone "Not Plugged In". *No help needed anymore*

edit: no help needed anymore
Hello. My internal microphone stopped working ever since I stopped using the default Toshiba version of Windows 7.
I have downloaded all the correct drivers for my Toshiba L750-BT4N22, especially the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver.
My internal microphone shows up in sounds/hardware, but it says "Not Plugged In". Also, every once in a while my sound get's choppy when I "seek" or move fast through a video file.
Could use some help, thanks.

I seem to have fixed it, thanks.

Microphone "not plugged in"

I bought this laptop two days ago, and I cannot get the INTERNAL microphone to work. I went to my device manager under Sound and found that the device is enabled but "not plugged in." I tried disabling it and re-enabling it, and nothing. I also updated the drivers.
I have a Satellite P305D-S8900.
Please help!

I seem to have fixed it, thanks.

HT4060 My ipad2 charged very well via USB until I upgraded to system 7.0.4. Now it displays "not charging: whenever I plug into USB. Any suggestions?

My ipad2 charged very well via USB until I upgraded to system 7.0.4. Now it displays "not charging: whenever I plug into USB. Any suggestions?

Charge it with the supplied power brick plugged into the wall.
Most USB ports don't put out enough power for the iPad so the best way is plugged into the wall.

Battery does not charge (displays battery/plug icon on top right)

iphone 4 is about 3-4 months old
Symptoms:
phone started to have issues a few weeks ago
it does not seem to want to charge
when plugged in, it displays the plugged in icon but doesn't seem to charge
have tried various charges (usb AND wall) and it won't always charge
the same charger that works, also might not work
few weeks ago, phone was down (out of battery for about 4 days) and then all of a sudden decided to charge
yesterday, it was plugged in overnight and it did not charge at all. but it had about 15% power left, so when i looked at the icon on the top right, it had the battery with a plug icon (i think that means its indicating the battery is fully charged) so it wouldn't charge at all
then i tried 3 different wall charges and one of them changed it to battery with a lightning bolt. then it started charging
so it seems like somehow the battery thinks its charged and does not charge even though its not really charged.
Could this indicate a problem with the battery, or the phone?

thanks, will do..
Only problem i have is that the issue is intermittent, and dealing with mechanics and even computer shops if they can't replicate the problem they can't fix it.
the last time i had made an appt with apple store, the first time i ran across this issue, the phone started working the night before i had to go to the store.
whats the remedy in this case? as far as replicating the issue or trying to show them the issue.. haven't dealt with the apple store for warranty before so i wanna make sure i can explain the issue to them and not getting told that they can't do anything because they can't replicate the problem.
I will take a look at the pins tonight when i get home, i've been using a loaner phone since the iphone4 has been somewhat unreliable in the past few weeks.

you need to connect your phone to iTunes. No way around it.

IPad (3rd gen.) speaker and microphone suddenly not working and iPad freezes. Help!

I was just watching some YouTube videos on my iPad and noticed that it only had 5% battery left. I plugged it in for charging and continued to watch. After that video had ended I moved onto another one, only to notice that I had no sound. I thought this was just because of low battery, and left it to charge. I came back to the iPad later on, only to find the display not turning on from the home or lock button. I did a reset by holding the home and lock buttons down for around 10 seconds. I showed the Apple logo and turned on. I still had no sound though. I tried using Siri to see if he would sound, but then noticed that my microphone is also not working, and then my iPad froze, and it has continued to freeze in a variety of different locations on the iPad since.
When I attempt to play I sound, I hear a quiet, static-like sound coming from the speaker, as if it is attempting to play it or something. I tried an iPad restore using iTunes but it would not take place, so I erased all data on the iPad and that had no effect. Most times to turn the display I have to reset the iPad also.
Please help!
Thanks,
Tom

You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
Then try a reset:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

Microphone is not working on my iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011

I have gone through System Preferences and clicked on Sound. Once there, I have gone to input and adjusted. No changes. I also did shut it down and start up while pushing command, option, P, R at the same time. No change. I also Created another Log In account and th microphone was not working there either. Please help me resolve this.

Here are a couple of additional suggestions, but after these I unfortunately have run out of suggestions for you.
Are you using one of the current Apple USB or wireless Apple keyboards? If you are using an older Apple or a 3rd party keyboard then it's possible your system is not recognizing the key presses required to run AHT.
Another way to verify the USB ports on your iMac is to use the built in 'System Profiler' feature of Mac OS X. First, plug in a USB device to the suspect USB port, then pull down the Apple menu and select 'About this Mac'. When the 'About this Mac' window opens click on the 'More Info...' button, then click on the 'System Report...' button. Once the system profiler window open click on 'USB' in the Hardware column on the left side to display your USB device tree. You should see a list of all the USB devices that are attached to your system including the FaceTime camera, SD card reader, and your Bluetooth card that are inside your iMac. Do you see the device attached into the suspect USB port? If you move the device to another USB port you can press the command-R keys to refresh the device tree list. If the known good device doesn't show up when it is connected to the suspect port then you have confirmed that you have an issue with that port. Even if you choose not to take your system in for service I still recommend contacting Apple so that you can create a case to document the issue in case you want to fix it at a later date.

Microphone does not work in Facetime

Hi
I read other posts and in Maverik I didn't find simmilar problem, for most people their microphone does not work after few minutes, but in my case, microphone does not work at all in Facetime, so I can hear the other end, but they can not hear me! This happened after updating Mavericks.
My Mac specs:
Macbook Pro 2013
OSx 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
things I already tested:
I tried to use headphone and without headphone, but it didn't make any difference
Microphone works fine in Skype and other softwares (Audacity, YahooMessenger, etc.)
Tried with WiFi and with Ethernet cable
Internet speed is 2.3MBps
Router's firewall does not have any restriction for certain ports
Tried turning facetime Off and On
Tried to call iPhone 5s, iPad2 and MacBook Pro each in different network and different countries!
... and finally searching internet for hours (which obviously came up with nothing)
I'll be thankful if somebody help me through, all suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate to post.

Same issue here....
8-core Mac Pro, Lion, Original External iSight camera connected via FireWire 400 through the FireWire jack on the 23" Apple Cinema Display.
Audio and video work fine using iChat and making video clips through any/all apps.
However, using FaceTime.....incoming audio and video are fine, outgoing video is fine, but outgoing audio is missing. Nobady can hear me.
Sorry guys...you can't doll this one up or spin it in any other direction......it's a bug pure and simple.
Feel free to fix it whilst you're dealing with all the other problems that Lion has.

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions?

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.

I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).

Macbook (Late 2007) External Display Not Working

I have an acer x243hq 1920x1080 external monitor which works with my Xbox 360 (vga cable) and my friends macbook (early 2008) but not my macbook
when plugging the external monitor into my macbook using the minidvi to dvi adapter the macbook screen goes light blue and flashes continuously until i remove the cable, the external monitor is just black (does NOT display "no signal") when the cable is removed the cpu seems to have been running at 100%.
i have tried using my friends macbook hard drive in my macbook and the problem is still there therefore the problem must be hardware related?
i have all current updates
Thanks for any replys on how i can fix this

Have you downloaded the Mac OS X (10.5.4) Combo Update? I posted my problem, very similar to yours, and in researching it I found it at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054comboupdate .html. It might just be what you need!
My problem is that I am running 10.5.7, which I blame for my external display not acting like it did when I was on 10.5.6! One expert at Apple Support told me to erase my HDD, reinstall Tiger, upgrade to Leopard again, but only to 10.5.6! Has anyone any idea as to when 10.5.8 is due out? Is there a Beta?
