Microphone Isn't working and need help

Toshiba Qosmio X70-ABT3G22 Laptop
Windows 8.1-64bit OS- X64 based processor
I recently tried to use my microphone to talk with friends on steam-CoD Ghost's and also tried skype and nobody could hear me and it wasn't being recognized. The microphone has been working ever since I got the computer and I don't know why it suddenly stopped working and maybe disappeared from the device manager list.
So I went to the---Control Panel\ Sound\ Recording| and it says-"Microphone: Conexant Smartaudio HD not plugged in".
Then I went to the device manager and opened the expandable tab--"Audio Inputs and Outputs" and all that was there was "Speakers(Conexant SmartAudio HD) and some others that are used when the HDMI is inserted and are faded out until activated(I'm assuming).
What do I need to do so my microphone will work again?
Does it have anything to do with me installing a beta driver for my NVidia GeForce GTX 770M graphics card as I had version 331.93 installed but reverted back to 331.82 when I noticed that my microphone stopped working.
I also have an integrated graphics card-
Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Driver File Version: 10.18.0010.3345--Driver Date-10/28/2013)(English)<==I think this is the wrong version according to the Toshiba DRIVERS & SOFTWARE section for my computer and is this the correct version=>(10.18.10.3308).
Also found this in the dxdiag I ran to copy my integrated graphics card info down-
Sound Capture Devices
Video Capture Devices
Number of Devices: 0
Conexant Smartaudio HD
Driver Date--7/25/2013
Driver Version--8.65.2.0

Hey Jerry,
Just figured Id let you know I fixed my issue with the microphone showing: Not plugged in.
Turns out the thing I never tried and thought never had any impact was the BIOS was set to fast boot I think.
Good news is that its working 100%. Very happy now
Now if only I could find out why explorer.exe keeps crashing when im trying to manage my files e.g- coyping files from folder-folder.
Is it possible for it to crash if it runs out of available RAM?

Sounds like you might have an interaction misapplied to some part of the component. I would look around for a rogue On Click interaction, and also look at what the Pressed states look like of the button.

Try to use Headset for Skype on G5, but microphone does not work! Need help

I recently installed skype on my G5, bought a headset, can hear people talking to me, but nobody can hear me. It's not an USB or bluetooth headset, but with 2 plugins (sorry, i'm austrian...).
Does anybody know what setups to change that it works?
I try the system configuration and set up line in and line out...
Pleas help!

I have used a headset with the 2 connections. In order to connect I use the Griffin iMic as my adapter. Every once in awhile I get the 2 plugs in backwards and have to switch them.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/
The other thing I have had happen is that my machine seems to auto mute when I switch things around. Sometimes I have had to go in to the System or program preferences to change the settings. For some reason the system has muted me or the program I am using did not keep the previous settings due to having the headset unplugged/replugged etc.

Spot Removal tool in L4 isn't working. Need Help!

The spot removal tool on my lightroom 4 is, all of the sudden, not working. The tool opens as it always has and everything looks normal, but it won't heal or clone. It used to work fine, but as of just recent;y it doesn't. I've closed lightroom and have restarted my computer many times and still nothing. The rest of lightrrom works as it always has. Please advice, and many thanks!

Don't feel too bad. You aren't the only one who has gotten bit by that one lately. Rikk has had the solution both times.

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

I upgraded to 7.0.4 on my iphone 4s and now it isn't working and itunes states that it is recovery mode - help

If you're phone is in recovery mode, then all your data is already wiped off. you'll need to proceed if you want to use your phone.
However after it is done recovering, you can restore back from your backp.
You do backup on a regular basis right?

Safari and iTunes download isn't working. Anybody help?

Safari and ITunes isn't working, can anyone help? Apps aren't able to open to www.

I'm sure that a little further explanation would help. What does "Safari and iTunes isn't working" mean exactly? They are crashing? They will not launch at all? Really ... come on ... help us help you ... Explain what is happening.

I restored my iphone and updated it but the progress didn't complete and now my iphone is not working. i need help asap.

my phone was not working only the restore button was available so i restored it and they told me i have to update my iphone 5s as well. i waited till the end the update software was downloaded successfully but then the iphone restarted by itself and now its not working. the iphone screen is shown the picture when you first time open the phone to connect it to an itunes. i connected it by it not working, i restart everything still not working:( i need help asap please. thankyou

it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

Just thought that I'd report that I've decided on my solution.
It seems that just making do with what I can find on the US store is the easiest and perhaps also the best way of going about it. All other methods mean trouble. I'm lucky that China hasn't outright blocked the US store, as they HAVE blocked iTunes music store in China already (something about a song about Tibet caused them to block the store entirely).
So yeah, just going to deal with it I guess. I should be grateful I'm getting anything at all, considering the country I'm in. Still, I just feel so ripped off sometimes when I pay for expensive devices and I can't even get much out of them do to my region. iPhones cost around $700 in China because there's no company like AT&T that you can just sign a contract with to get one, so you have to pay up-front for the phone, and get less features out of it in the end. Makes buying smart phones look like a waste of time and money sometimes, since you can't use the device to do what it was built to do due to censorship and not having any content for your region (though they do have a lot of Chinese apps that I can't use due to not knowing Chinese).

Look for cloud solutions such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync or others. They are all cloud based services that sync documents between computers via the cloud. Of course another solution is simply a flash drive formatted in exFat so that Macs and Windows computers can read it.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,

exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,

if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.

99 or 100% when it says Premiere Pro has stopped working and needs to close. What's going on?

I am using the premiere pro trial at the moment and have been trying to render a video for a solid week now. My computer is far more powerful then the recommended specs and yet it still takes 2 hours to attempt to export a 3 minute video (that isn't even heavily edited) and not only that but it will get to 99 or 100% when it says Premiere Pro has stopped working and needs to close. I have used earlier versions of the product before and never had such problems, even my 2 year old laptop could breeze exporting. What's going on?

Thanks, I'm a bit new to asking for help!
Version : Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)
It is up to date
I'm using Windows 8.1 build 9600
My sources are contained in .mov, .mp4 and .png. The codec I'm trying to use is H.264
After I set the project to export I got this error message every time it gets to either '99' or '100%' completed. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I have never had such a problem with the program which makes me think it might have something to do with a recent update.
No other notable software was running during the export.
I don't have any third-party effects or codecs installed.
I have 64 bit OS and processor, Intel i5 - 4670K quad core clocked at 3.40 GHz. 12 GB of RAM. And a GTX 770 with 2GB of video RAM.
Unless it was installed in the trial, I do not have the Mercury Playback Engine.
And finally, it can be noticeably choppy during the preview when it gets to the part I don't have rendered but is fine again for a bit if I replay those parts. A part from being a bit slower then usual, I didn't actually run into a major problem until I started exporting.
Thank you for the help! Any suggestions?

HT4623 After installing iOS 7 my microphone isn't working. No recording , no one can hear me on Skype

After installing ios7 my microphone isn't working. No one can hear me on Skype. Recording device arnt working too. I rebooted the device as well downloaded Skype again. Please help me

A restore will not work either. I went to the Apple genius bar and they did everything, but nothing worked. "It is your hardware". No, it is not. It is Apple's IOS 7 software that was not properly coded/tested before they released it. Now they will not own up to the problem. There are too many people with the same issue that suddenly happened after the IOS 7 install. Come on, Apple. Fix this! These are expensive devices and many of us will not buy another iPad if we run a risk like this.
