Microphone not working anymore - Lenovo G560

Hi, few months ago I installed arch, and internal mic worked. When I add "options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad", internal speakers also mute after plug-in headphones. I didn't use mic since now, and now, when I need it, it doesn't work. I'm using stock kernel, so the problem happend probably after upgrade form 2.6.34 to 35, but I'm not sure. I tried recompile alsa drivers, latest alsa-driver snapshot.
Codec - Conexant CX20585
output from lspci
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

I have the same issue. Me and my friend both have the same laptop and arch linux on them. He just haven't upgraded at least 3 months from now, while I have up-to-date system with testing repository. His sound works flawlessly, while I can't get microphone to work. You probably just need to downgrade kernel. I will tell you which version of kernel and alsa-driver he's having when I found out.

Microphone not working anymore, after 3/4 year of no probl

I got an xfi elite pro and vista 32bit and after an hard time to get the microphone to work 3/4 year ago, i used it with barely any problem.
However 2 days ago, i wanted to join a meeting on teamspeak for a certain game and my microphone didnt work.
Things i did:
Use other microphones first, to see if the microphone was stuck. It wasnt, other microphones had same problem and the sennheiser does work with no problem on my xp pc.
I checked all volume input/output?options:
-windows
-creative audio console
-tried the different modes etc.
Nothing muted, nothing on low volume, changed some, changed them back, but....
Nothing worked, only a lot of noise coming from the mic.
Updated driver, didnt work.
Removed everything, removed card, plugged it back in, install new software and drivers, no go, microphone still not working.
I dont know what to do anymore, i spent 2 full evenings working on it and I am pretty good with computers and yet cant solve it.
Anyone has a solution for this, because on this moment after spending 2 full evenings, i am basically posting here with my last hope and otherwise tomorrow I will buy a non-creative card and use that for my vista pc.
I need the mic to communicate with some people, that li've across the ocean, so cant miss it too long.
I already searched on forum here, but to be honest, there is ZERO good information how to fix it. I was totally supprised by how many posts there were about the topic, but none with a fix
I didnt expect that from creative to be honest, but well, maybe one of them can finally come up with a good solution and otherwise its bye bye creative for me.

Yikes none having any clue
Will try to reinstall my pc in next 2 weeks then, if i can make some time free to make the correct backups and everything, but if that doesnt fix it, then i guess i got no other choise, then to get another branch card.
Already had to use someone s pc to join some TS meeting with some friends across the ocean, not funny.
Doesnt matter what I, i keep getting a very heavy rumbling noise from the mic, if i use what you hear as input, i have to turn it off FAST otherwise the sound volume goes crazy.
I tried with onboard completely off, but also with onboard completely on, but then I still get the rumbling noise ,even when the mic is in the onboard jack of the onboard soundcard.
Somehow it seems the jacks are all mixed up or the volume totally screwed by some unknown setting.
TRied tons of combinations of having software installed or not or using the different drivers.
So far, still no clue if its vista or the creative card/driver.

Hi Gogox1,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issues with microphone not working on your Lenovo Y50-70 laptop.
Please try connecting an external microphone and check for the issue, try to update the drivers from device manager.
a) Press“Windows Logo” + “X”keys on the keyboard.
b)Click on “Device Manager”.
c)Search for the Sound Card from the device list and right click on it and select “Update Driver Software”.
d)Follow the on-screen instructions and complete the installation of the latest driver.
e) If no driver updates are available, you may also search for the updated sound card drivers in the“Drivers” and“DriverStore”folders in the location “C:/Windows/System32” by selecting the option“Browse my computer for Driver Software”.
Click here for the driver.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!

I upgrade my iph4 to ios 7.1.2 and the microphone is not working on video camera, is not working anymor also the microfon on speaker mode, please help me

Hy guys, i upgrade my ios 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 and now iths not working anymore my microphone on video record, the camera is working , is recording but without sound, and also the microphone on speaker, when i activat the speaker the microphon is not working. I do a full reset on my iph but still not working , also my girlfriend have same problem.Please help me, thx.

To rule out a software issue, try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If this does not help, the problem might be hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

After my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1, built in Microphone not working

Just what I said, my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 from IOS 5 on last week, the built in microphone is not working anymore, I can't record the video with sound, and called my friends with Facetime, they can't heard my voice. Then I already restored IOS 5.0.1 for a few time and built in microphone is still not working. Does anyone iPad 2 has the same issue after using IOS 5.0.1? And anyone can help me to fix this? Thx.

I've read other posts about this, and while it seems an odd coincidence, you likely have a faulty microphone. On the right hand side you'll see similar posts. The majority of people who all of the sudden had mic's that wouldn't work after updating, wound up getting their iPads replaced at the Genius Bar at their local Apple Store. You could try rebotting, by pressing and holding BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go fo both buttons and your iPad will restart. If that doesn't work, I would not recommend restoring. Instead, make an appointment at the Apple Store and if found defective it will be replaced. Do remember to create a backup before going. It will make setting up a new device exactly as you had it, much much simpler.

Line-In not working anymore

I upgraded to Leopard tonight and surprise, my Line-In is not working anymore. I can't use my headphone's microphone. This is something very weird happening. Anyone has any idea what can be causing this?

By downloading a newer version of Audio Recorder, I've been able to use the built in microphone to record. I haven't tried it with other applications, although it was working with Photobooth.

Microphone not working Windows 10

I have an Asus GL551 series laptop and I just upgraded to Windows 10. I have all updated drivers and I use Realtek HD Audio Manager. My microphone works except when on Skype, which before upgrading I had no issues. The microphone is working but the gain is very low, but my mic works fine on Google Hangouts, and other applications. I was able to fix it by going into control panel-communications-then set communication activity to "do nothing" when it was previously set to "reduce the volume of other sounds by 80%." It worked for a minute, but then the person on the other end couldn't hear me anymore. The settings were still the same from when I changed them. I've tried configuring my microphone, changing the boost, not having Skype automatically adjust microphone settings, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, and Skype. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi copperpot, As you notice with my posts and posts from others, you are not the only person having this problem. Here are my and other people problems: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/My-partner-updated-to-Windows-10-and-I-cant-hear-them-anymore/m-p/4067742#M359223 http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Help-Windows-10-Microphone-not-working/m-p/4067282#M359088 http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Microphone-volume-in-and-only-in-skype-extremely-low-in-windows/m-p/4066915#M359000 Hopefully Skype Team is aware of this problem and on the way providing us with the fix...

Fingerprint logon before OS is not working anymore

Hi,
with one of the last reboots fingerprint authentication before OS boots up is not working anymore. What I've changed I can't say, because I really seldom reboots my win7x64 at my T500 - its possible there where ThinkVantage * updates before.
I wouldn't like to tell what I've already tried to don't fix your thinking direction. I uses passwords for entering BIOS, boot up the machine, every of the two sata devices (replaced optical drive) so I now will be asked to enter three passwords before windows starts. To log on windows the fingerprint reader workes fine also for using ThinkVantage password application.
What information else do you need to give me a hint what to do/try.
Regards
Ronny

hey rseffner,
uninstall the password and fingerprint software.
see if it still ask you for three passwords.
then go to our support site via http://support.lenovo.com , download the latest password and fingerprint software and install it.
try again

My micro is not working anymore

my microphone is not working anymore. after 10 seconds (sometimes more or less) within a call it's off. if i do a memo it's working. what can i do?
i don't want to change my iphone, because it takes so long to get it back or a new one. and it's too expensive (i don't know if my guarantee is expired or not).
thx for your help.

1 - start by showing a bit of patience
2 - provide detailed, revelant information - what version of iPhoto do you have? Of the OS? what exactly does "not working" mean? What does happen? what has recently changed?

Ipad internal microphone not working

I paired my new motorola h270 bluetooth with my ipad this evening and it connected properly.
When i tried disconnecting it and making the ipad forget the device, it says it was successfully disconnected.
When i tried answering facetime and skype like normal, my internal microphone is not working anymore. It only works when i speak through the bluetooth.
I even called the skype test snd it's not recognizing my voice. I'm not sure how to make my microphone work again.
I'm on the ios 5 right now.

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.

Nokia E51 - Microphone not working

Hi, I have a Nokia E51. Today I found out that the microphone is not working anymore. Yesterday everything was fine, but today when I make or receive calls, people can't hear me speak, while I can hear them perfectly. I tried the recorder, but when I make a record, again I don't hear anything when I play it, so the problem must be in the microphone. I haven't dropped or hit my phone, no accidents, nothing. I even tried to restart it, but it still didn't work. Thank you for your help!

Thank you very much!
I was just about to take the phone for repairs, when the microphone started working! Someone called me and I decided to answer, even though I knew they wouldn't be able to hear me and to my surprise the person calling seemed to hear me and we had a long conversation without any problems at all. Then I tried the voice recorder againg and it worked too! Very strange! Like a miracle!

Qosmio F50 - Microphone not working

For some reason my microphone is not working anymore.
If I go into the Conrol Panel I can see under the Recording tab "Microphone Realtek High Definition Audio Working" but as I speak there are no green bars coming up. And it is not muted or anything like that.
Is there anything anyone can suggest?
Thanks

> I don't know how to "check webcam software", so you might have to clarify what you mean by that.
Sorry mate; my mistake. It seems that the old webcam software called Chicony Webcam software contained the mic settings.
But the new webcam software on my new Win 7 Toshiba notebook does not contain this mic setting.
So I assume you don't have this as well but you can still check this
Ycan find the webcam software in all programs -> Toshiba -> Utilities -> webcam software.
However, back to yoru screen shot; I look like the mic is marked as default. thsi is ok.
Then you should check the properties is this mic.
Choose this mic and click on Properties.
There you will find different tabs:
The second tab called Listen (i think) contain an option which allows you to disable the mic to save power. Please check if this is not chosen!
The third tab allows you to increase the mic volume level!
Hope this helps!
