Microphone not working correctly / Working out of nowhere / Driver issues

Yeah I have the T61p-A24.
The microphone isn't working for me. I am trying to use skype and talk to my family. I tried a few different drivers and rolling back a few times. All of a sudden yesterday I could hear myself through my speakers. I didn't have any programs running. I just heard myself, and there was a big echo feedback sounding like the mic was on high. I saw through settings that the mic was working, but it wouldn't turn off. Now that it is turned off mysteriously, I can't get it to work like before. I didn't try it on skype when it was working. I just want it to work. I have heard through other posts in other forums that this is not just my problem that it is just sheer luck you are the lucky one to have the problem.
Please I need this fixed. Thanks.

Hello,
Just to verify, you are using the ThinkPad T61p's built-in speakers and microphone, and not a headset, correct?
If so, it sounds like the microphone is picking up the audio from the speakers and causing feedback.

FTP Uploading not working out of nowhere?

Hello to All,
I use Yummy FTP for my FTP needs, and have been very happy with it for some time now. I develop websites and then use my Yummy to FTP the site files up to its respective server. However out of NOWHERE, im getting an "Access Denied" error. And this error isnt coming from the host, as i can log into any of my clients different hosts and download, or manipulate things on the hosts end, but if I try to UPLOAD any kind of file (its not a folder permissions deal, i checked and moved these to different directories and everything) i get "Access Denied" from my iMac. This has never happened befpre, and I cant think of anything that would have changed, set aside an update from Apple. Firewall is off, no other strange security features are on that I can see, please help, this is hurting my soul at this point lol.
thanks in advance
Tristan

Hello Jason,
I hope you don't mind but I'd like to keep this discussion here in case any future Mac users have a similar issue they can see your consultation with me here on this post.
While I may have phrased my issue a little awkwardly, and my love for Yummy (yes I'm a big fan) is great, I didn't mean to insinuate that the problem was on the Yummy side, hence why I posted here and didn't contact you directly.
My problem was I'd get an Access Denied message, only upon upload, on MULTIPLE hosts, different servers. I'd attempt to FTP and upload to about 5 different servers and would get the same denied message. There was a really bad storm here which knocked out the power, and it appeared to me that maybe some setting on my Mac was changed upon an update that ran as I restarted.
Then out of nowhere, everything worked fine. I have no closure as to what was causing this, but it couldn't be on five different servers, I am starting to wonder if it could have been a problem with my ISP, as I use a cable modem and the cable was out after the storm, and was on downstream only for a bit. But everything was else was fine at the time of the problem.
I stuck with Yummy, and didn't panic and download cyber duck or FileZilla, as I was absolutely certain the problem didn't rest with Yummy.
so I want to clarify to the public that when I stated "a connectivity problem with Yummy". I meant that it was either my host or my own ISP and unfortunately Yummy was in the middle.
Thank You so much for your input, from one OSX developer to the next.

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

My Aspire 5750-6438 built in microphone not working.

My Aspire 5750-6438 built in microphone not working. My OS is windows 7 64-bit. I have updated all the driver. Built in microphone is not even recognized in the sound setting.

welly267,
Go into the device manager and check to see if there is a yellow or red icon next to your built-in microphone. If there is a red one, it's probably disabled, see if you can enable it. If it is yellow, right click to uninstall it, then restart your notebook to see if it installs correct and starts working. Look through these steps if it does start showing up in the sound manager.
If it does not, you can try to remember when it worked last and try a system restore. If you cannot remember, you might have a hardware problem or can try to perform a recovery as a last resort to see if that solves it.

Microphone not working on iphone

Microphone only works when on speaker phone.

Hi,
I had the same issue here. bottom microphone not working on my iPhone4. tested an dtried some different apps and came up with the following:
during voice call: bottom mic not working
during facetime: YES other side can hear me
memorecorder: YES sound is recorded
video: YES sound is recorded
I've searched around the web and the apple support pages, and found some simple options to be taken to resolve the issue:
1 clean out the 2nd (noise cancellation) microphone (which is the little pinhole right beside the earphone jack)
2 restart the device (eliminating virtually all software / app malfunctions)
3 reset network settings in settings menu (eliminating network issues)
4 full factory reset on iPhone4 (make sure to back it up properly before) (why should this be the resolution if the restart didn't do it before?).
5 open up the backside and insert a little piece of cardboard (about 160gr/m2) as per the attached video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhWxYTVxe4&feature=related
6 go to the apple store / make an appointment with the genius bar
neither 1, 2 nor 3 resolved my issue with the bottom mic during voice calls (I still could hear the other side, they could here nothing, or some static and crackling from my side). as gathered the 4th possiblity would not to make the difference (i got convinced this was more a hardware than software issue), i jumped to option 5.
AND IT WORKS NOW!!! yippieeeee (what would an iPHONE be if you can't call....)
all you need is a steady hand, good eyes and a ph00 or ph000 screwdriver.

BB Q10 microphone not working

Hi.. I just bought BB Q10 on 5th June 2013. Now after enjoying using it suddently few problems happen amd the most crucial problem is the microphone not working. Now i can talk on the phone by using loud speaker and handsfree kit only. The microphong for the handheld unit totally not functioning. Can anyone here help... Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen.
I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

Hey ajun,
Thank you very much for the information!
For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Good luck, and have a great day!

The system shows everything is ok.

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 with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.
Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
Any suggestions, please?

Click Browse my computer for driver software, then click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Click "Have Disk..." then Browse to the folder where the drivers were extracted .......\V64 for 64-bit Vista/Win7. Click OK.

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.
FM.

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

You don't need a license or a serial number to download Lightroom, which is the problem you state you are having. What is the license you purchased, anyway? Can you give us details?
