Microphone not recording

has anyone any ideas please. Mic not recording sound or working using Skype.

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • G60 214 upgraded to XP Pro SP2 all good but microphone not recording

    Hi all,
    just upgraded an HP G60-214 to XP Pro SP2 with much assistance from yourselves for which many thanks ! 
    Getting the Conexant HD 221 sound to work was difficult but is now good but I'm having trouble getting the microphone to work.
    Device manager shows an NVidia driver and says it's working properly but 'Sound Recorder' doesn't record anything and neither does Skype. The volume is set to maximum and it isn't muted.
    Anyone got this to work under XP ? 
    Thanks for looking !  

    Hi
    I have a similar problem. 
    If I use skype, or infact other programs, the microphone seems very unstable. 
    In most of my skype calls I loose the mic at some point or another. during these drops Skype warns me that the mic is very low, but I have not changed any settings. It seems that there is a problem with the integrated mic. Loose connection or something. This is not just with Skype but with other programs where I use the mic. However, there is no problem with hearing the other side of a call. Thus speaker is fine. Tired of this problem as I cant call without having problems. Please help. 
    thanks in advance.

  • Dv6636nr replacement motherboard now microphone not recording sound

    hi
    i am having a problem with my machine. after a recent replacement motherboard was fitted i now no longr have microphone functionality. skype will not complete the test call successfullly and trying to set up speech recognition the red and yellow bars dont even move.i think that in the microphone section however if you tap the system it does recognize there, there are a couple of shooting green bars, this is all i can get!!
    i have been trying to solve the problem for hours now, downloaded the drivers/uninstalled. tried a previous version but it just kept reupdating. also got the UAA driver but still nothing.
    i have sound on everything else and my cam works.
    any ideas?
    thank youu!!!!

    Good idea Joe.
    I went to my system preferences (I'm running Mavericks) and checked.
    My internal microphone shows as 'built-in'
    My line in shows as 'audio line-in port'
    I moved up the input volume a little to be safe
    Output volume on full, but there was never any problem playing tracks previously recorded.
    I still haven't reinstalled Garage Band, as I wanted to get my podcast done before the end of the month. I exported the cast as it was to an external hard drive, along with small mp3's I had been about to add in (like my jingle) then went to another computer in the house, and recreated the podcast from those mp3's. I was able to add in the introductory audio recording on that other computer and complete my podcast.
    I transferred the newly recreated podcast back to my normal laptop (where the problem occurs), checked and published my podcast. I double checks the newly recreated cast (the one I built up on the other machine from mp3's) to see if I could record now  - since I recorded within that particular project on the other machine. I *still was not able to record* on my laptop.
    I still cannot create another new project that allows me to audio record. My preferences for the garage band app and op sys  on my laptop, all appear to be set for sound.
    I guess I will now break down and reinstall garage band. I think I've reset something in the application that an update doesn't reset.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    Hello @Pistaba1975,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how the microphone on your notebook is enabled, but will not record any audio on Skype. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    Are you able to record audio using a different program on your computer? Were you able to record audio from Skype in the past? 
    In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Resolving microphone problems (Windows 8). This should help enable the audio-in when using the microphone.
    Additionally, I also suggest following this resource on Microphone Troubleshooter to ensure that your Skype software is communicating the audio being transmitted to your audio-in device.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • External microphone for recording voice memos on iPhone?

    I have a video iPod and a plug in microphone to record voice memos. It's high quality and I love it. Is there one for the iPhone?

    Not that I am aware of.

  • IPad 2 microphone not working. On 4.3.3. Please HELP!

    Just noticed that the internal microphone on my ipad 2 64 GB (white) is not working. I even tried to record a video to see of it was an application problem but the video did not record sound either and just recorded static. I am still on the 4.3.3 firmware and haven't ever had any problems.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Pichkeopiseth-
    The iPad 2 has been out less than a year, so it is still under warranty.  Apple should repair or replace.  Whether they replace with a new or reconditioned unit, I can't say.
    For an out-of-warranty unit, an Apple Authorized Repair Center may be your best bet, since it is probably an easy repair.
    I suggest you verify that the problem exists in at least two Apps.  One I use is the free Skype App.  Skype has a test server you can call, that will record and play back your voice.
    If the microphone works sometimes but not others, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Microphone not working after installing the windows 8.1 on HP TOUCH SCREEN IQ 524

    ValentinT, welcome to the forum.
    There are no drivers available for Windows 8.  I suggest checking in the Control Panel/Sound/Recording to assure that your microphone is selected.  It seems that the Sound is one area that gets changed when updating to Win 8.1.  At least, this is what happened to me.

  • Internal Microphone not working for L505D-S5983 (PLEASE HELP!)

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get my internal microphone to work. I have enabled it under Sound->Manage Audio Devices
    ->Recording tab. However the green vertical bar does not detect any voice. After setting the Microphone boost to +40dB, it detected some noise (since it has some green light) but I realized it wasn't detecting my voice. Since this did not work, I re-set the Microphone boost to only +10dB.  I only have one internal microphone and no external microphone. 
    I have seen many postings on internal microphones not working on Toshiba laptops but couldn't find a solution to mine. Can someone please help? I think it's about time that Toshiba fix this issue after the countless complaints.

    No mentions of reinstalling the sound driver. That sometimes turns on the microphone.

  • Captivate 4 will not record software simulation with Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a Dell M6400 labptop, 32-bit, operating system is Windows 7.  The patch I downloaded through Help->Updates-> on Captivate fixed
    my microphone problem, but did not help the software simulation problem.
    I get as far in the process as having the screen setup with the red bounding box and controls visible.  After choosing automatic I then click on the record button.  There is a shutter sound, but it won't save anything.  I get back to Captivate and it has not recorded anything.
    I then installed it on my main computer which is 32-bit and uses windows xp.  I did exactly the same thing as my above mentioned laptop and it did the software capture beautifully.  So it must be the Windows 7.
    I am disappointed that the patch didn't fix that.  Will one be coming soon that will?

    Okay, I have been trying to use Photoshop CS4 Extended as my software simulation.  It refused to work on Captivate 4
    numerous tries, but now for some reason it is working fine.  The only thing that I did different was to go into Photoshop's
    preference-->performance--> and the openGL was unchecked and I checked it.   I think that Photoshop had a problem and turned off the
    the openGL.  I have the latest update for my graphic card, so I'm not sure why it affected the GPU.
    I didn't think to try other programs, but now I have, and they are working fine too.
    It could be that the problem was with Photoshop instead of Captivate.

  • USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat

    =USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat?Windows 7, X-fi Fatalty Pro
    I have a webcam with ?a built in microphone (Ps3 eye). ?It is connected by USB. ?The drivers are the CL-Eye drivers; a third party driver set since Sony does not directly support the eye for PC.
    in the windows audio device management, the microphone appears as normal and is set as the default device. ?I can use the windows sound recorder to record me speaking just fine. ?However if I use any other applications it doesn't seem to work at all. ?I can select the device as the default recording device in Starcraft 2 as well as Teamspeak 3 but no sound is detected. ?The USB microphone does not show up as a selectable device in recording options in my Creative Control Panel. ?Disabling the default creative microphone does nothing.
    I think the problem is in that windows can directly detect the microphone and so software that uses the windows audio device manager works fine, but anything that talks directly with my sound card software does not properly detect the microphone. ?Basically, I can select the device as a default device but it does not work.
    Any thoughts on this or am I SOL and have to find myself a shiny new headset?

    I had the same problem. You need to check the device index of your USB mic.
    In my case. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.6 system. I had four devices cataloged. With the last one being the USB mic.
    Then set like so in your AS code audioPub.microphoneManager.micIndex = 3;
    Remember, that the indexing is 0 based.
    The sound framework make the assumption that the index is 0.
    Hope that helps.

  • Internal microphone not working and then disappearing on X201

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with the internal microphone of my X201, in that: at the beginning the mic was recognized but could not record any sound; then, after reenabling it from the BIOS settings, it just disappeared from the Recording Devices in the Sound Options (it is not even among the disabled or disconnected devices). Is that a software or an hardware problem? Could you please advise me on that? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Professional.
    Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I don't know. Last week everything was working fine and then, the mic first stopped working and (after the BIOS changes) even disappeared from the list of recording devices. Maybe it has to do with some hardware that has deteriorated with time.
    In any case, I uninstalled the only two audio devices I have (Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD and Intel (R) Display Audio)  from the Device Manager and then rebooted Windows, which reinstalled them automatically. Under Playback Devices (in Sound options) I have the Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD, but under Recording Devices I didn't have anything.

  • GarageBand not Recording Voice or Skype after update

    I have been using Garage Band 6.2.2 to record my Podcast for over a year now and since the latest update I am now dead in the water. I use Soundfllower and Line-in to grab the Audio from Skype and my Samsung Mic to record in Garage Band. Now with all settings being the same Garage Band does not see any audio coming in. I can see Audio in system settings, Skype and in Line-in. Any Help would be appreciated.

    I dont understand what do you mean?? I have the earphones that have a volume control and it works as a microphone to record voice memos. So the recording works great only one time, then it wont record nothing. Can anyone help??
