Microphone not working in XP with XFI au

HI?I just bought my Soundblaster XFI audio and i cant get my microphone to work. Ive tried activating the mic in the sound config. i've tried all ports on the back of the soundcard. I cant hear anything in the sound recorder , the wave isnt moving at all. The mic worked fine on my old integrated sound card. Im using windows XP.
Please help me out here.

I'm uncertain which port it is depending on your soundcard, easiest way is that you check your documentation or try and find the online manual. I would be suprised if you really need a digital connector for the mic. From what I gather it's a multi port jack and that you need to set somewhere which use it will feature (like a switch, you turn the knob to get a certain setting).

Help! please! digital-in not working in vista with xfi ga

I just bought a digital I/O module for my Xfi Gamer card. I was using the youppax driver set. I am not getting any sound from the Digital in on the card. Also the digital I/O selection is greyed out in my control panel. Does anyone know how to get the digital in to work? Next I think I will try to remove all the drivers and software for my xfi and reinstall the Creative Labs latest drivers, do you think that will help?I am sure other people have had this issue also. My primary purpose for my sound card is so I can do multitrack recording on my PC using the digital-in as the source. I have been doing this on my XP machine for years now. This is killing me, Help!!! Please!
!!! Thanks,

Could a Creative rep or an experienced user here please provide direction to me on how to proceed from here? Will the Digital I/O module work with my xtreme gamer card? If the Digital I/O module will not work, what do I need to purchase to get the digital in working on the xtreme gamer card?
The Digital IO module connects to X-fi cards via the Flexijack, which on all of them except the XtremeGamer is an electrical connection. Unfortunately the XtremeGamer's digital flexijack functions are optical-out (only) instead, so the I/O Module won't work with it. The Product page for the Digital IO Module shows what cards it works with. The XtremeGamer doesn't work with the external IO console either due to the lack of the needed connector. Unfortunately this means there is no way to get a digital signal into that particular X-fi card. Sorry

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?

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.

Microphone not working with speakerphone

I recently purchased a iPhone 4 which is pre-owned. I soon discovered that the microphone is not working when ever I'm using speakerphone.
The microphone works fine otherwise and I can hear the call fine when in speakerphone mode. The problem is only with the microphone not working while in speakerphone mode. Based on some initial Google searches, I can see this is a relatively common issue on iPhones (4 & 4s models) but have not seen a way to resolve. Please help me resolve.

This may be relevant. I've been getting warnings "Device storage almost full" recently - even though I have an SD card that is almost empty. I suppose the device doesn't know to automatically use that for any downloaded/photos, etc.
In any case, I made some room, but is it possible that "core" stuff may have been overwritten (obviously some kind of s/w bug if so). How likely would this scenario be? I realize that anything is possible, including a meteor strike - but I was curious whether this is something that is "realitiscally" likely with the current BB OS.
Also, if I back up my data, do an OS reload, and then restore my data - is there a chance that the problem might come back? (given that the data I will back up now will have "more space" than when the warnings started coming, since I deleted some stuff).
Thanks again.

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.

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!

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.

Microphone not working in regular calls but does through whatsapp calls/recording

My microphone on my phone is not working very well with regular calls, people can hear me very soft / faint or seeming at distance. This while I usually speak quite loud during calls usually holding it to my ear, not speaker function.
Whatsapp calls is perfect, people can hear me excellent when there is good connection
Microphone recording also sounds good
I tried BBVE as well a factory reset but its still the same. Any tips how to resolve it?

Perhaps also mentionworthy is that the phone is that I'm just using this phone for 2/3 months and I do want to stick with Blackberry as I have done so persistently but this is making me reconsider

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!

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.

Thank you

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.
