Microphone doesn't work after Windows clean install

I have a satellite A135-S4677 (Part# PSAD0U-0N700P) which came with 32 bit vista.
I recently did a 32 bit windows 7 clean install on a new hard drive. Everything works fine except the internal microphone which does not work. If I connect an external mic it works. Speakers work fine.
I have tried the Toshiba Software Installer but it didnt help
I have tried both drivers on toshiba's website for Realtek but it still doesnt work
driver_audio_realtek_TC40053600B.exe
driver_audio_realtek_TC40064600A.exe
Anything else I can try. Please help
Thank you.

After a clean install, the order of loading first the Toshiba supplied hardware drivers and hardware utilities, then the Toshiba utilities and software is critical for success.
1st Hardware Drivers & Hardware Utilities
1) Chipset related
2) Display
3) Sound
4) All other hardware drivers & hardware utilities
2nd Toshiba Utilities & Toshiba Software
1) Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP)
2) Toshiba Flash Card Utility (sometimes included in the TVAP)
3) All other Toshiba utilities and Toshiba software
Also, Toshiba laptops are very finicky about only using Toshiba supplied hardware drivers to work properly, and those drivers supplied by Windows Update and/or the chip makers. That's why I recommend disabling automatic Windows Updates. To do this, click 'Start - All Programs - Windows Update', on the menu at left click on 'Change settings', under 'Important updates' click on the drop down menu at right and choose 'Never check for updates (not recommended)', and click OK. Then only manually check for Windows Updates, check all available updates carefully, and never allow Windows Update to change any of your hardware drivers. Though you should still regularly check for updates.
So, after disabling automatic Windows Updates, try downloading and installing these drivers in this order, and see if it resolves your mic problem.
Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility for Windows 7 (32/64)
Intel Display Driver for Windows 7 (32)(v8.15.10.1825)
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Satellite P300 - Microphone doesn't work after Windows 7 installation

    Hi,
    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 on my Satellite P300. The built in microphone was fine with Vista but does not now work with Windows 7.
    I've tried going to the sound section and it does not list the built in mike - just the jacks. Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    James

    Hi
    Maybe you didnt install the driver for the microphone?! Therefore you have to install the webcam driver because the microphone is a part of it. You can get it here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    After this it should be possible to use the internal microphone.
    By the way: Which application you use for the internal microphone? Skype or something else?

  • Satellite P300-1CE - Microphone doesn't work after Windows 7 installation

    Hi everyone.
    At the beginning I'm sorry for my bad english so I will say shortly.
    A few days ago I removed a few programs, and I installed the new operating system Windows 7. All over it I had to download new drivers of the camera, because they didn't work. After downloading drivers of the camera, the camera became operative (YEAH!), but later I worked out that for me a built-in microphone was out of order. What can be of it with cause and what driver to download and why microphone don't work?
    I can't speak with friends on skype ;( Help me. I hope you know what I say.

    Hello
    Did you really install all drivers after Windows 7 installation? Maybe you have forgotton something and so it doesnt work.
    Microphone is a part of webcam so make sure that webcam driver is installed properly and sound driver you need as well.
    After this check the sound settings. Make sure that Microphone is enabled and test it again with enabled microphone boost.

    You may want to experiment with these drivers. The most recent is not necessarily the best fit.

  • Icloud doesn't work after a clean install of windows 8 pro and office 2010

    After installing the  'iCloud Control Panel for Windows v2.0' on my cleanly built laptop. I now getting the following error after activation the mail option under the iCloud Control Panel 'Setup can't Continue Because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again'..
    I have done this add also added a second email address and change the new email address to be the default email address.
    I've also done the following as well....
    Ideally the error message you have mentioned is related to iCloud. But you may try these steps as you have already tried re-installing the iCloud control panel and sign in back to sync with Outlook:
    Check if there is any new updated version of iCloud released for Windows 8.
    1. Sign out from iCloud control Panel.
    2. Go to Outlook -> Click on File -> Options -> Add-ins.
    3. Select Com Add-ins in Manage -> Click on GO.
    4. Disable all the Add-ins -> Click OK to save the settings.
    Now go to iCloud Control panel and sign into the iCloud account. Open Outlook and check if you are able to sync.
    however the same original error still accures. can i also point out i have delete the all the os and applications and started again by rebuilding the os windows 8 pro but this time using ms office 2013 and the error 'Setup can't Continue Because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again' happens again als did option 1-4 from above as well and the error still happens.
    Any Idea's?

    Windows 8 is not supported on Boot Camp, that may or may not be part of your issue but it makes troubleshooting difficult. Post in Microsofts forums as well, that error message is not limited to Boot Camp installations, regular Windows users also get it.

  • Satellite P200 - Microphone has stopped working after Windows 7 install

    My Satellite P200 came with Vista Ultimate, the mic worked for a few months suddenly it stopped. I decided to install Windows 7, but mic still does not work.
    Any ideas anyone?
    I use this laptop to skpe my folks a lot. I can use an external mic fine, but really want my inbuilt one working again.

    Hi buddy,
    Sounds like its something wrong with your Windows 7 installation if the microphone doesnt work anymore...
    I would recommend updating the webcam driver because the microphone is a part of it. You can find driver updates here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    I dont know what Satellite P200 you have exactly but if you cant find a Windows 7 driver for webcam, choose another model that is fully Windows 7 supported, e. g. Satellite P300.

  • Satellite A210 (PSAEG) - Microphone doesn't work on Windows 7 64bit

    Hello, the micro doesn't work under windows 7 64 bit, the driver I'm using is Windows Vsta 64 bit. The volume is set up maximun and so is the amplification but no way to make it work with skype or toshiba camera assistant software.
    Can anyone help me?
    thank you

    Hi Largo09,
    Usually you have to install the webcam and sound driver to get the microphone working. The microphone is a part of webcam
    As you wrote, Satellite A210 is not Windows 7 64bit supported so the only option you have are Vista 64bit drivers
    In my opinion you should check if Microphone is enabled in Windows sound settings. There you can also enable Microphone boost, that can increase the microphone volume.

  • Internal Microphone doesn't work (after installing Boot Camp 3.1)

    I have installed Boot Camp 3.1, and after this installation, my internal mic doesn't work (ONLY IN WINDOWS XP).
    I tried to fix the problem with several manners (hardware test in CONTROL PANEL / SOUND .../ VOICE TAB / VOICE RECORDING; reinstalling drivers and hardware etc), but I can't get success (for example, the test results: SORRY, NO SOUND IN MIC...).
    On the other hand, when I boot as Mac (Snow Leopard), I can use the mic (in skype, for example), without problem.
    I note that ear plug (connector in the back of the iMac) doesn't work too.
    Somebody can help me in this case ?
    Regards
    JGFilho

    i got a macbook pro, 2 weeks ago, the 2.53Ghz unibody aluminium, the desing of this mac is great even tough the system specs are really low for the price actually, im happy with it(the hardware)...
    The only reason i got this is cause apple claims to support windows, i like Mac OS, but i work on windows i need it... if theres no windows capability in mac i wouldnt ever buy one, so this issue is really bothering me A LOT. my impresions about apple are changing after seing this topic filled with questions and not a single moderator answer, go and check a logitech forum and see how they take care about user problems.

  • My microphone doesn't work after installing lion on iMac early 2009

    Hello,
    I've just installed LION and everthing seems to be OK except the microphone, it doesn't work on skype, imovie.
    I have an Imac early 2009.
    Will this bug be fixed in the next 10.7.1?
    Please if you can help me,
    Thanks

    If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
    Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

  • Adobe Reader doesn't work after windows 7 update

    Hello,
    My Adobe Reader X was working fine, until one night where Windows 7 automatically updated, and after that Adobe Reader doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond AT ALL when I click on it, and I cannot view PDF files anymore.
    I uninstalled it, and re-installed it --- still doesn't work. I tried downloading version 9, but still it doesn't work.
    I also tried to do system restore, but somehow it won't let me --- it says it failed to do so.
    When I try to open PDF files in IE 10, it says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." and an error code of 103:103.
    Could anyone help me?

  • Macbook doesn't work after trying to install yosemite

    Hello to everyone,
    I have a macbook pro 13 8gb RAM and i7.
    I had a problem before installing yosemite, when I switched it off it was always spinning the circle without really shutting down.
    So I decided to create a USB driver with diskmaker x with on it Yosemite.
    To install it with a clean way so I pressed alt while I was switching it on and I went in disk utility I initialized the Hard disk (750GB) and then I setted as reboot disk the yosemite usb driver... while it was running it I saw some interferences on the logo white page (like thin lines blue and red green..) so I switched it off I tried again and it said to me after a while impossible installing yosemite file system verify or repair failed.
    So I tried to initialized the main hard disk again repair it and downloading yosemite via wifi...
    An error occured and I saw the folder with " ? "...
    Now I tried to start it but it doesn't work, I select the hard drive, I don't see disk utility anymore and once I select the hard disk it start a page and it stucks on the page with apple logo and the bar under it which is incredible slow to advance...
    What can I do?
    Many thanks

    okay, if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005 (it's the firewall that we're interested in, rather than the antivirus), let's try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:

  • Satellite Pro U400-15I - Sound Wheel not working after Windows 7 install

    The sound wheel on my Satellite Pro U400-15l does nothing after the Windows 7 clean install from XP pro.
    I used the recommended Software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - just not under the control of the wheel! Also the Toshiba Power control is not there but this is not a problem.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Bob Sheppard

    Hi Syntax,
    there is no option to add the volume control to the taskbar in the control panel.
    The sound driver is 'Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221'
    Interestingly, when I click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select the mixer option I get 3 sliders called 'Device','Applications' and 'Sound Volume Indicator of Toshiba Control'. If I move this slider with my mouse I get the indicator I am looking for ( The Toshiba indicator I had under XP). However, this slider only works as a 'minimum' for the other sliders.
    Thanks for your help but I still would like that volume indicator back!

  • Lenovo Easy Cam Won't work after Windows 10 install

     I have a V570 Lenovo laptop on which I just installed Windows 10. After the install, I found that my camera no longer works -- it's the Lenovo Easy Cam. I tried driver updates. Apparently the drivers were downloaded but failed to install. I can't figure out HOW to get them to install. I tried the device manager. I also took a look with Lenovo Solutions. It says the camera is disabled, but it doesn't tell me how to re-enable it. I'm at a loss. How can I get my camera to work with Windows 10? Thanks.

    Hi Swahili1,I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y570 and I have also recently upgraded from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10. In fact I had the same problem as other persons i.e., the easy camera of my laptop was disable and I couldn't manage to update the drivers correctly and make it function. I did as you described, with the difference that in my case I couldn’t enable the camera from Device Manager. What I did is that I have only uninstalled the program of the easy camera going to: Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features and then I have restarted my laptop. As you said most probably, Windows 10 detected the camera and installed the appropriate program and now my camera is functioning. Thanks a lot Swahili1.

  • How do I use existing sync key after Windows clean install?

    Hi,
    I had setup Firefox Sync on my old Windows 7 install and I have the Sync Key given during the set up. I had to clean install (format C drive) my Windows.
    Is there any way I can use the old Sync Key to get all my bookmarks and stuff back?

    The problem has resolved itself...
    ...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
    I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
    Windows, eh?!
