Microphone issues

I am hooking up just a basic computer microphone to my G5 and I can't get it to work at all. Do I need a special mic?

I belive you need a USB mic

Microphone Issue's

I'm testing out adobe audition 3 and im having microphone issue's. Im tryin to record with a Blue Snowball USB Microphone, but after i go to Audio Hardware setup and set everthing to ASIO4ALL apply and press ok, i press record and it gives me a message that states, " The currently selected audio driver is not availible. Another application may be using the same driver or the device may not be properly connected or powerd. You can select a new driver using the Audio Hardware Set Up option." I was thinkin it was because i also have mixcraft 4 armed with the ASIO4ALL driver but than i disabled it and still no luck with adobe. Any suggestions?
P.S. : Does anyone have a link to get Adobe Audition 3 for free?

Audio/Microphone Issue - Lumia 920

I suddenly have an audio and microphone issue with my Lumia 920 which I've had for two months.
Regarding the microphone, people are suddenly having a tough time hearing me speak into the phone in conversation.
Regarding the audio, the noise from playing video is working, but I can not hear any music. The music is running, but no sound.
Very frustrating problems.
Thanks for any help.

I think Nokia is taking this issue way too lightly. It is now a rampant problem with the 920. People just cannot hear me when I make or receive a call. I do not have any protective case that would interfere with the microphone function etc.
I have searched the issue - and it is becoming a common problem that people have a hard time hearing you on a call - unless, that is, if you use speaker phone function.
Is Nokia going to address this issue - or keep treating it as a non-issue? I have requested a replacement from AT&T - but I anticipate the same issue coming up with it. I would rather not have my phone replaced - especially if Nokia/MS could issue an update that solves this issue.
Thanks

Internal microphone issue NB300

Have recently been using Skype and MSN and everything worked fine.
Then tried to download audio files from dctaphone using microphone socket again seems to work ok.
However now microphone on NB300 barely audible on receiving machines.
Screen surround ultra sensitive and high pitched feedback occasionally.
Have downloaded video downlaods but no significant improvement.
Concerned it may be hardware not software.
Toshiba machine diagnostics dont identify a problem.
Any help appreciated as not too technically minded.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Did as you suggested and ensured the settings were as shown on the website address you supplied. I have also restored system to a previous restore point which seems to have fixed the microphone issue but now they cannot receive video stream and video images not seen on my machine. Probably need to do some more tinkering. It is a shame that there is no way to record the system settings at a particular time so that in order to regularise the position you can reset manually.
Any way thank you again for your assistance

Microphone issue

I have a MacBook Pro and can't get my microphone to work on the audio port. I go to Preferences and choose the audio port to work for sound input, but it doesn't do it. It only works picks up sound through the internal microphone. Can anyone advise me?

Hi CosminCl,
Before trying to answer your question, I would like to know if Lumia 925 mic does not work is a consumer issue or a developer issue.
We should be able to give some suggestions here if its developing issue.
If its the consumer issue, I would suggest you ask at community site:

Muting the mic in console fixed the issue with hearing myself throught speakers/headphones. The mic still seems not to work.

Odd microphone issue with headphone jack

Well, I really have two issues involving the headphone jack. One is when I plug the headphone in the volume will occasionally drop to zero and then no longer go up past 0. A power off fixes this.
A second thing I discovered is that sometimes the microphone does not work after plugging in my headphones. I fist noticed this when I was trying to use the speakerphone in my car with the line out through my stereo. I thought that was by design at first. However, I started using voice control and I noticed that the the microphone was not picking up any sound. I could tell this because of the visual waveform display. If I uplug and replug the microphone may start to work.
This happens fairly frequently but enough to make speakerphone use and voice control rather unreliable.

Yes, it has done it through resets. It seems to happen about 1/2 the time I plug the line out in. They tried to tell me at the store that it was my car trying to control the audio. Then I tried to explain it's a simple stero jack plug.
However, if it keeps up I can go to the service center and get an exchange. I'm going to try and report the issue to Nokia first in case it is firmware related.

Using third party headset with Retina Macbook Pro (microphone issue)

Good day, everyone!
I have very strange issue with my Retina Macbook Pro (Late 2013) OS X 10.9.3
When I plug in my Steel Series Headset, its microphone not recognised by system and only "Internal microphone" available in Settings - Sound - Input.
Headset itself works perfectly fine, because when I plug it to my iPhone, its microphone works without any problems.
Macbook's headphone port also works fine — when I plug in my iPhone original headset to Macbook, its mic works good and I can see "External microphone" in Settings - Sound - Input.
So headset is ok and headphone port is ok. What is the problem?
How to force macbook to use headset microphone instead of built-in one?
Thanks in advance

Either contact the sales staff at the store where you ordered your Mac from or contact the speaker manufacturer & ask them.

Microphone Issue using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have also posted this at the Adobe forums. I'm just hoping someone, somewhere can help.
I am a recent convert from Final Cut to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, mainly so I can start burning to blu-ray. I am finding the switch a frustrating experience. The latest issue I have is with audio recording. I have an external firewire mic set up that worked flawlessly with Final Cut for two years for recording commentary tracks. Yesterday, I tried recording a commentary track in Premiere Pro, and it worked fine for about an hour, at which point it suddenly stopped. Now I can only reocrd about 6 seconds of audio before it stops recording, and repeated attempts result in a "serious error" and Premiere crashing.
I have searched everywhere and tried everything I can think of. Restarted Premiere. Uninstalled/reinstalled premiere. Shut down/unplugged/replugged in C-1 microphone. Updated software. Restarted iMac. Nothing works. I am out of things to try, and hoping someone here might have a suggestion. I have tried using the iMac's internal microphone just as a test (since the quality of the recording would be unusuable for my purposes) and Premiere won't even use that for the six seconds it will the C-1.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

So, just in case anyone else is wondering, we never did solve this issue. However, we upgraded Soundbooth to Audition, and were able to move the project there and finish the commentary track. So, that's a workaround, anyway. (A workaround that did not work in Soundbooth).

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Webcam and microphone issues

When attempting to use Skype or other videochat programs, I receive an error messaage asking me to enable webcam/microphone. I have gone into the control panel and checked that the integrated webcam and microphone are enabled. Perhaps the programs/drivers behind the hardware have been removed? I am not very computer savvy, but I am sure the issue is not a virus. Any help appreiated.

Blue Yeti Microphone Issues

Recently purchased a Blue Yeti microphone from Apple and I've had an issue after only using it for one day.
In Garageband > Preferences > Audio/MIDI, the microphone used to be recognised as "Yeti Microphone" however it is now recognised as "USB Advanced Audio Device". This has lowered the quality and increased the sensitivity of the mic by 10 fold. I'm not sure what would have caused this since it occurred after I simply unplugged the mic one day and plugged it back in the next and boom it happened.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I tried with a new chord as well and that didn't fix the issue...

I'm not sure if this will help but open the Audio Midi setup utility click the on the Yeti or Advance USB device whatever it shows up as. See if you can change the settings to 44100 and 24 bit.

Built-in microphone issue

Hi,
I have an issue with my built-in microphone : it looks like it is "de-activated" or I don't know... I want to use the pronunciation option in Rosetta stone, but the mic is not "recognizing" any sound in the software. I checked in the System Preferences menu, under Sound, and when a select the mic line, the sound bar doesn't react when I talk. However, when I click to select "Input line", the mic seems to react for half a second, and then, nothing again.
Any clues ?

Satellite L300D built-in microphone issue

I got my satellite L300D (model # PSLC8C-06100F) about a year ago, and when I first went to use skype it couldn't find a microphone.
I assumed that, unlike my previous satellite, the L300D just didn't come with a microphone built-in.
However, a couple of weeks ago I was on skype and having issues with the microphone headset I had plugged in, and when I unplugged it I suddenly had great sound coming through the built-in mic I thought wasn't there!
The problem is I haven't been able to so much as find it - let alone make it work again - since that one time.
What's going on here?
I obviously HAVE a built-in mic, but neither my computer nor skype can seem to find it.
If anyone out there can help me out on this I'd be very grateful!

I'm actually running windows 7 home premium (a free upgrade from vista came with the laptop), but when I followed your advice the options "configure microphone", "set up a microphone", "find and fix audio recording problems", and "manage audio devices" come up.
When I click on "configure microphone" I get a window that says "click on 'start' button to start the microphone configuration' which, when I do, pops up another window that says "generating source object failed".
When I click on "set up a microphone" I get a window pop up that says "No audio input device found: Make sure your audio hardware is working properly and check your audio configuration in the Audio Devices and Sound Themes control panel", which doesn't exist (though I've looked through everything to do with audio I can find in my control panel, and everything keeps coming up empty to detect a microphone).
When I click on "find and fix..." I get a troubleshooting window pop up which performs a diagnostic and comes up with a window that says "plug in the microphone or headset: the peripheral device does not appear to be plugged in. Check the connection. Proceed to the next step to finish".
When I click on "Manage audio devices" I get the "sound" window with "playback, recording, sounds, communication" tabs. When I click on the "recording" tab it shows a microphone icon called "microphone: Realtek High Definition Audio" (which is also the name of the speakers!), but underneath it reads "Not plugged in"! When I plug in my headset mic it finds it and changes to "default device". The bottom of that window has an option to change default, but it's greyed out and won't let me select it.
Everything points to nonexistence of a built-in mic, but as I stated above I KNOW there is one because it randomly started working! What the hell is going on!!!???

Microphone Issue (HP60-445DX)

Recently I've been having issues with the built in microphone. Anytime I use the mic on Skpye or any other messenger site my mic gives off feedback. I would have to mute and unmute my mic numerous times during video and audio calls. I've tried numerous adjustments via the sound application on windows vista but the problem still occurs.
Could anyone plz assist me? The problem is sending me crazy!

If its a hardware issue your warranty is only valid where you bought it

IPhone 4 microphone issue

People can't hear me either when they call me or when I call them.
I tested other apps that utilize the microphone – voice memo works, recording video records both audio and video.
However, when I am making/receiving a call – people can't hear me.
What can be the problem?
Even when i connect my phone via bluetooth to my car it doesn't work.

I'm having a similar issue. I'm running iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4S with Verizon. Just received this phone (factory reconditioned) about two weeks ago. I'm experiencing one way audio problems - always with my mic apparently muted as the person I call cannot hear me. I agree with other posts that it is a mic source problem. I use the phone with a bluetooth headset, earphones, on speakerphone, and then sometimes just by itself. If I am making a phone call and it becomes apparent that the other person cannot hear me, switching to the speaker phone usually resolves the issue (but I MUST continue the call on speakerphone).
I called Verizon and they suggested putting the phone into "multi-task mode" by touching the home button twice in rapid succession and then tapping/holding the music icon till it wiggles. Then simply deleting it with the "-" sign that appears (this manually shuts down the app so it doesn't run in the background). They argue that the phone thinks it is still using the last audio related device (like a pair of headphones) until I manually shut the app off (plus they say it "saves your battery life too"). My perusal of Apple's online literature seems to contradict their theory (almost to the letter), but I'm going to give it a shot anyhow and see if it makes a difference.
Please let me know if anyone has been successful with any other "tricks."

Dear Durga_5 -
I understand that your microphone is not working with Skype. I think you will find a solution in the Skype section of the HP support document Resolving microphone problems (Windows 8).
Please let me know if this resolves the issue for you.
