Microphone no longer wor

I have an Audigy 2ZS card and was using the packaged mic that came with?my Li've! Motions?camera for MSN-which WAS fine. One day when connecting over MSN the sound came on very loud and then the mic stopped working-the person I was connecting to could see me, but could not hear me talking, though I could hear them through my speakers (which is okay). I thought the mic might have 'blown' (if thats possible) so bought a new Creative one, but still the person cannot hear me talk. Sound and speakers are working fine though, and I have the mic in the 'mic in' correct port on the card. I see I am not alone with mic problems-seems to be very common. Why is that Creative? HELP!

mickros,
Do you have the 20dB mic boost selected and the mic playback Source unmuted and sliders turned up high? What happens if you set REC to WhatUHear and unmute mic Source? Can you hear anything over the speakers from either mic? Also, can you test the mics on another SoundBlaster system?

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).

SD Card reader no longer works / Yeti Microphone no longer works

I guess I made the mistake of updateing my iPad software during the last sync. Now I get a low power warning when I try to use the Yeti microphone. The SD card reader no longer works as well. was told that I could use a powered USB hub. This kind of kills the whole portability thing.

Microphone no longer works on headphones, problem w/ phone not headphones

This is my dilemna: Something is wrong with my headphone jack on my iphone so that my headphones work to listen to music, but no longer to talk on the phone. In other words the microphone on the headphones doesnt work, so people cant hear me. And i know its a problem with the phone because i bought new headphones and people still cant hear me thru the built in headphone microphone. Has anyone else had this problem and if so can the jack be replaced? Im not due for an upgrade for quite awhile and would pay to get headphone jack on my iphone replaced.

ISight microphone no longer available in Audio Preferences or iChat

I have an iSight camera that was working with my Mac Mini when I first got the camera. But somewhere along the line the microphone vanished from the list of audio sources available in the Audio Preferences, or iChat, or anywhere else.
The camera works fine.
I just can't access the microphone.
The camera and microphone itself work fine when plugged into another computer. I even sent the iSight back to Apple, but the one I got back has the same problem, so it's something about my machine or the software environment.
I have been upgrading my software regularly, but I don't recall any correlation between an upgrade and the microphone stopping working. However, since I wasn't using the iSight regularly I could have missed this.
I see the Apple_iSight and AppleFWAudio kexts loaded:

I have upgraded the firmware in the iSight. System Profiler reports:
iSight:

Any suggestions?

... the microphone vanished from the
list of audio sources available in the Audio
Preferences, or iChat, or anywhere
else.Does that really mean that
when iSight is plugged in it is not an available
choice in the System Preferences... > Sound >
Input device list?
Yes, that's correct. The iSight is not visible in the System Preferences... > Sound > Input device list.
If so you may have a faulty Firewire cable.
I don't think so, because:
* This iSight works fine -- video and audio -- on another machine.
* The video and audio travels over the same data lines in the Firewire cable, and the video works fine. Cable problems would affect both audio and video.
Does "or iChat" mean, when iChat AV is the active app
and iSight is plugged in, that "iSight Built-in" is
not available in the iChat > Preferences... >
Video > Microphone: Choices Bar?
Yes, that's correct. The iSight doesn't appear in that list of choices.
When iSight is plugged in and iChat AV is the active
app, is there a tick (check) mark next to iChat >
Video > Microphone Enabled ?
Yes, but the menu choice is greyed out.
What other apps are "anywhere else": iMovie,
QuickTime Pro, what? Please list all apps you know
have the problem.
iMovie HD: can record from iSight, but there is no audio.
Garage Band: iSight is not available among the choices of audio inputs.
AU Lab (in Developer Tools): iSight is not available among the choices of audio inputs.
If you have added anything new to your Mac, consider
Possible hardware or software
conflicts.
Aren't there useful diagnostic logs somewhere? I'm used to copious debug output (from drivers, especially) when problems occur on my Linux systems. Is there somewhere to turn up the verbosity of the debug messages?
I sometimes get the feeling that the Mac is trying to hide important details about problems from me, and treating me like a baby. I mean, I have and know how to use a kernel debugger (though not yet on the Mac), oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers; I should be able to get the information I need to diagnose problems, rather than trying shotgun solutions.
If you haven't kept your Mac OS X maintenance up to
date, try that now.
I have repaired permissions; I will try a disk repair although I have no reason to believe that there are any file system problems (again, there are no debug messages in the logs that would indicate something like that).
Consider applying the 10.4.5 Combo Updater using the
method in How I Update My Mac OS X.
I'll try this too.
If you do not get help here or in Mac mini
Discussions, my only remaining suggestion is that you
take your Mac mini, iSight, and Firewire cable for a
professional check by your Apple Service Tech.
My nearest Apple Service Tech is over 50 miles away.
I'd prefer to find a fix here if I could.
Thanks for your help,
Ned

ISight attached to Mac Pro: microphone no longer working

Hi all,
Recently my PowerMac G5 died (coolant leak) and I've had to replace it with a new 2.8GHz Mac Pro.
I have an original FireWire external iSight camera that I got off eBay fairly recently, and which I'd used (briefly but successfully) with the G5.
Now that I've got the iSight attached to the new Mac Pro, I find that its microphone doesn't work. As a camera it works fine, but I get no sound input from it. I've tried plugging it into both the front and back FireWire 400 ports on the Mac Pro to see if it works with one and not the other, but it won't work with either. Video image fine; sound input non-working. It definitely worked OK before, when it was attached to the G5.
My system is completely up to date, as of today (24th July), running Leopard 10.5.4.
I'm not sure how one is supposed to tell what version of the iSight firmware is installed, but I looked under the FireWire section of Apple System Profiler, and the iSight is listed there as follows:
iSight:
Manufacturer: Apple Computer, Inc.
Model: 0x8
GUID: 0xA2700040E355E
Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
Connection Speed: Up to 200 Mb/sec
Sub-units:
iSight Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x102
Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
iSight Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x10
Unit Spec ID: 0xA27
iSight Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x11
Unit Spec ID: 0xA27
iSight Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x12
Unit Spec ID: 0xA27
Product Revision Level: 1.0.2
Now, I don't know why there are all those near-identical 'iSight Unit' entries, but I do note that the last line says "Product Revision Level: 1.0.2", so I assume that it means that I've got the 1.0.2 software installed in the camera.
I checked in the downloads section of Apple's support pages and found that there was an update available to version 1.0.3, and that version 1.0.3 improves audio performance in some way. So I tried to install the update, to at least see if I was able to.
And the answer is that I wasn't. The updater told me that I couldn't install the update on my machine because it doesn't run on any version of Mac OS X from 10.4 onwards.
I do still have an old laptop with Tiger installed on it, but I certainly don't have a machine that runs Panther any more, and Panther seems to be the latest OS supported by this particular update; so I can't even see if the 1.0.3 update would fix my problem (and there's no guarantee that it would anyway; it just sounded as though it would be worth a try).
Can anyone offer any advice about any of the above? I do have a USB headset with a working microphone in it, so the problem isn't a show-stopper for me, but I'd prefer the iSight to work properly if possible.

First of all, thank you very much: you've just solved my problem!
To answer your initial question, the iSight did indeed show up as a sound input in all the places it should do so, including the Input tab of Sound in System Preferences (and Skype, and iChat etc.). Everything appeared to be absolutely correct, with the small shortcoming that the microphone didn't actually work!
However, I followed your advice to extract the iSight 1.0.3 updater from its enclosing package, and having run that, it successfully updated my iSight to the latest software... and bingo! It works!
So that really was all there was to it. I find it odd that the iSight worked fine on my G5 with Leopard but not on the new Mac Pro, but there you are... I guess that's what firmware updates are for.
One slight oddity is that System Profiler is still showing the firmware as 1.0.2 (and I've done a 'Refresh' in case the info was cached), but the update did work and the updater application does now report the firmware as 1.0.3. And the main thing is that it does indeed now work correctly!
So, thanks very much once again. That was a very swift and painless solution to an annoying problem.

Microphone no longer works with ear piece

I have a BB 9800, and I recently downloaded the latest 6.0 OS Bundle 2921. Since then, I cannot use the ear piece when making calls. The speaker/handset menu goes back and forth and there is no sound in the ear piece. I can no longer take calls in the car while I drive. How do you resolve the problem?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Something may have gone wrong during the OS load, which would then mean reloading would be the thing to do. Or, there could be something wrong with that OS package, and you should try a different one.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
Good luck and let us know!

Hi,
I am having exactly the same problem with the microphone on a brand new blackberry Z30. I saw at least 3 threads opened regarding this issue. Looks like a common problem. When i switch bluetooth headset or plugin headset or Speaker it works fine, when I just use normally , no one can hear me
RIM must have a solution. Please someone suggest how can we fix this issue as we need phones we can rely on. I have all the software up to date so what can I do on my side? It was working , and I updated the software.. to the latest release

External microphone no longer works; did before with this MBP.

Yes, I've read* about how Macs have line-level inputs, not mic-level in several threads while trying to solve my problem. But the thing is, it used to work.
The same headset (unpowered microphone) used to work just fine. Was there once a 'boost' checkbox in System Prefs...Sound, where now there's just an input volume slider?
I guess my memory could be wrong, or I was using the internal mike, but I'm pretty **** sure it worked with my MacBookPro4,1, and I tested to be sure I wasn't using the internal mike.
*e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/6286820#6286820 or https://discussions.apple.com/message/8785782#8785782

I ended up buying a USB device for a few bucks on eBay on amazon, and it's working great.
$2.24 + Free Shipping is a pretty good workaround!

My internal microphone no longer works after loading Skype to my MacBook Pro... What to do now???

I use my internal microphone on my MacBook Pro very often, especially in programs like GarageBand, Audacity and Photo Booth. However, yesterday after attempting to use Skype (for the very first time) my internal microphone does not work properly in any program. The only time it responds is when I tap the area directly above the microphone.
- I've already checked the settings in System Preferences
- I deleted all files associated with Skype
- I've tried holding the "option + command + r + p" while starting the computer
- I've delete the "com.apple.soundpref.plist" file in the user library
Has anyone else encountered this problem and knows of a definite fix, or can someone at least offer any other suggestions that may work?
Thank You!

The only time it responds is when I tap the area directly above the microphone.
Sounds like a hardware problem. Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, call them up and let them deal with it.

Internal Microphone No Longer Recognized.

I used to be on Skype all the time with no problems, but I got on tonight to talk with some friends and my mic wasn't working. Checked the sound input and the option for the internal microphone was gone. I tried calibrating it under System Preferences > Speech but there wasn't even an option to calibrate the internal mic. What do I do?
(I have OS X 10.6.8)

My camera and mic work fine. When I installed Win7 I did not do a clean install. I just upgraded from the Vista 64 installation that came preinstalled. I've been pleasantly suprised to find that everything works beautifully. Actually better than it did in Vista. Maybe try restoring your Vista installation (if possible, I haven't tried the onekey restore feature) and then install Win7 as an upgrade.
This is just a suggestion - I have not tested this!

Microphone no longer recognized on Satellite U

I turned my microphone off a few days ago in sound device --> recording, but now my computer doesn't recognize that I even have a microphone anymore.
Any help in finding it again would be greatly appreciated!

Hello
Usually the microphone should be still listed as sound device if you have only disabled it On recording tab of sound devices the microphone should be listed. Can you see it?
If it doesnt help I would recommend reinstalling the webcam and sound driver. The microphone belongs to webcam so you should also reinstall the webcam driver. Both drivers can be downloaded on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
By the way: What notebook and OS you have?
