  • Microphone problem on Windows XP running on Macbook Pro

    I just bought a Macbook Pro with a built-in Realtek HD audio card, and I have a problem using the microphone on the Windows side (I've installed via Bootcamp a Windows XP Home edition service pack 2). For some reason Windows doesn't recognise the microphone at all (although I have no problem with the loudspeakers). I tried downloading the new driver
    Windows 2000, Windows XP/2003(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file) R1.89 2008/3/18 25421k
    from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24& Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and ran the driver,
    but it didn't help. Right now when I'm trying to detect the microphone using the Control Panel wizard an error message comes up, saying that there's an error code 0x80004005
    what should I do?
    Thanks a lot.

    You should probably post your question in the Parallels forums:

  • Intermittent microphone problem in Windows 7

    In my Windows 7 64-bit install, I have a very annoying problem. The microphone becomes completely unusable, seemingly at random. I'll test the microphone right after starting up, and it works fine. But several minutes or hours later, when I start a voice chat app (e.g. Teamspeak 3) and try to talk to people, they tell me that my voice is heavily distorted.
    Listening to myself in the "Recording Devices" applet of Windows 7, I can hear what they mean. My voice sounds echoey, distorted, sort as if I were speaking underwater. It doesn't stop. The only thing that "fixes" the problem is rebooting (temporary), or restarting in Ubuntu (see below).
    For the sake of discussion, let's assume:
    -I have the latest drivers for my sound card (SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS).
    -Motherboard sound device is disabled in BIOS.
    -Windows 7 itself is fully updated.
    because those things are true.
    WTF is going on here? This is really driving me batty. Gaming is about the only thing I still use Windows for, so it's frustrating to not even be able to do that.
    (Meanwhile, I have absolutely no problems with the microphone when running Ubuntu. Since it's the same hardware, I'm pretty sure the trouble in Windows 7 isn't hardware-related.)
    Promised system specs:
    ASUS P5E3 WS Pro motherboard
    4 GB DDR3 333 MHz (PC 0666) RAM
    Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU
    Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ video card
    SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card
    Altec-Lansing VS422 speaker set w/Plantronics headset
    Logitech MX30 mouse, Saitek Eclipse II keyboard
    Various and sundry SATA hard dri'ves ?

    You have an X-Fi and your mic doesn't work in Windows 7? That's ridiculous!? I'm going to have to reconsider buying any more Creative Labs products, if even their newer cards - which supposedly are Windows 7-compatible - don't play nicely with Windows 7. That doesn't bode well for Windows 8 compatibility.
    FWIW, I have had Windows 7 running for a couple of days, and the mic distortion is happening now. It wasn't happening last night. So maybe the problem is related to system uptime? That's almost impossible to test for. Easier to just reboot periodically, or run Ubuntu 0.04, where the mic works fine.
    Our other computer has a Rocketfish Gaming RF-5SDCD? sound card, which is essentially a re-badged Audigy (not sure which one). Rocketfish (a Best Buy store brand) does explicitly support Windows 7, providing a rather bloated (42 MB) driver package to do so. As far as I know, that card doesn't have any mic problems in Windows 7. Now I'm wondering if I could perhaps use the Rocketfish drivers with my Audigy 2, since they're almost the same card. I might give that a try, as I have no other ideas.
    My Audigy 2 ZS has outli'ved the computer I originally bought it for, but I may have to switch back to motherboard sound for my next build. I can't imagine the Audigy 2 will work any better with Windows 8.

  • MICROPHONE PROBLEMS IN WINDOWS VISTA HELP!

    I have this Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and the microphone will only work with Yahoo only. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated very much on how to get this to work for everything else just like it used to. Thanks!
    I have been told to contact the manufacturer of this microphone, but the problem with that is that I have more than one microphone with different manufactures and they all do basicaly the same thing. They don't work but in Yahoo only! Can you please tell me what I need to do to get all of them to work once more in different things besides Yahoo only. Thanks!

    Satellite L355D-S7809 
    With a microphone plugged in, right-click on the sound icon in the Notification area of your taskbar and click Recording Devices. Select the external device, click Properties, and verify the settings.
    Won't hurt to reinstall the driver.

  • HP Split x2 Microphone Problems

    Using an HP Split x2 over skype. A variable hissing noise occurs which reaches a point that it drowns out audio, then it will abate and then build back up again. It begins building during pauses in conversation and then begins to slowly diminish as we talk. Have tried moving the tablet to various locations to see if it is interference from other device. Does not sound like traditional feed back. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Thanks!

    Hello Pondering92. I understand you are experiencing microphone problems on Windows 8, when using Skype. Does this issue only occur on Skype, or on other programs? If it only occurs on Skype, try uninstalling and reinstalling the program.
    If it occurs on multiple programs, and you followed all the troubleshooting in this HP document, you could be experiencing faulty hardware. Since the product is in warranty, I would contact HP technical support for servicing.
    You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm only here to help!

  • Microphone problem with POE 13

    m@y microphone works with windows 8.1 but Premier Elements 13 will not recognize my "Realtech High Def Audio device.Any suggestion?

    coo-gar
    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
    What type of microphone do you have? Classically, USB microphones do not work with the Premiere Elements (many versions) Narration Tool. However, there are scattered reports where the user claims to have used a certain brand of USB microphone successfully with Premiere Elements Narration Tool. Often the ReadMe files would mention this situation. Although I do not see that mention in the Premiere Elements 13 ReadMe, that does not mean that the problem does not still exist.
    One workaround, if no alternative, is to create the narrations in a free program such as Audacity, and then import the narration (wav) saved to the computer hard drive into your Premiere Elements product with its Add Media/Files and Folders.
    Please review and consider and give more details.
    Thank you.

  • Teamspeak3 in KDE - microphone problems [SOLVED]

    I am in KDE4 (latest version as of now). I chose the GStreamer backend when I installed KDE.
    I have a headset, plugged into the rear outlets on my pc.
    Sound output works fine.
    I installed Teamspeak3 (Linux version, not Wine, but same problem in Windows/Wine version).
    I can hear sounds just fine, but it does not register any sound from my microphone.
    I went into alsamixer, unmuted everything, turned it up, etc., same problem. There is a 'rear mic' and 'rear mic boost' in the output section of alsamixer. when I turn that up, I can hear the microphone just fine through the headphones, so I know the microphone works and is picking up sound - Teamspeak isn't registering it, though.
    The input section of Teamspeak settings shows either default or ALSA for sound system, and whichever I choose, it has two devices under microphone. I've tried all different combinations, no dice.
    Any ideas?

    Apparently I didn't do my due diligence.
    Teamspeak3 requires Pulseaudio. I installed it, now everything is working fine, both native and Windows/Wine versions.
    Leaving this up in case anyone else runs into the same problems.

  • B520 Built-in Microphone Problem

    We recently got a B520 77452MU All In One.  It includes a built-in webcam & microphone, and since right out of the box the microphone has recorded horribly.  It has very high background noise, kind of like a whirring static-y fan, so high that one might say the talking is actually the "background" noise.  We've tried updating the drivers and adjusting the microphone settings in the sound section of the control panel.  After troubleshooting extensively with the warranty tech support, they said it wasn't a normal problem and had us ship it in to try replacing the microphone (the particular model # we bought was not available to order by the time we received ours - it took a month to ship - so the sales rep couldn't just exchange it). That did not resolve the poor recording quality, even though the repair slip said the webcam/mic unit was replaced and passed the test, so we're thinking this must really be a normal weakness of the system.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Has anyone figured out a solution?
    We like the features of the computer otherwise, so we're thinking about just buying an external microphone, but it is very annoying to have an "all-in-one computer" mounted to our wall with accessories hanging off it because it isn't really "all-in-one".

    I have more info on my own situation (with a USB connected head set.) Net: the Rosetta Stone suggestions seem to have worked. I've listed the steps they supplied for Windows 7. I made two changes from what I had been recently using, highlighted in red under "Editorial Comments" in steps 9 and 12. That combination seemed to stop the background noise (feedback from a device?) in my talking during voice recognition. 
    I realize this doesn't directly address the original post about "B520 Built-in Microphone Problem" since i wasn't doing the same thing. The original symptom, though, seemed to be related.
    The suggested steps with a USB headset for voice recognition with my annotations:
    1. Plug your headset into an available USB-Port.
    2. Open the Start menu.
    3. Click on the Control Panel.
    start menu
    4. If you're viewing the Control Panel by Category, click Hardware and Sound and then Sound. If you're viewing by Large or Small icons, click Sound.
    open sound menu
    5. On the Playback tab, highlight your device by clicking on it. Your device may be listed as C-Media USB Audio Device, USB VoIP Device or Other USB Device. (Editorial comment: my only USB choice was "USB VoIP Device", which was what I was already using.)
    6. Click the Set Default button. If there's a green checkmark next to your preferred device, it's already set as the Default Device.
    Set Default
    7. Click the Properties button.
    click properties button
    8. Click the Levels tab.
    9. Adjust the Speakers to 30.   (Editorial comment: mine had been set to 67.)
    10. Click OK.
    11. Click the Recording tab.
    12. Highlight your device by clicking on it. It should have the same name as the device that you selected in the Playback tab.  (Editorial comment:  my microphone highlighted had a different name, "Lenovo USB 2.0 Audio", though I had nothing else audio but my headset plugged into a USB connection. I  highlighted the "USB VoIP Device" name used in step 5.)
    13. Click the Set Default button. If there's a green checkmark next to your preferred device, it's already set as the Default Device.
    14. Click OK.

  • Pavilion G7 1365dx internal microphone problems (skype).

    I just purchased this notebook and when I tried to use Skype, everything works except the other person can't hear me.  Mic is enabled and not muted.  Internal Mic (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC).  System checked for updated drivers, system said drivers are up to date.  Thank you in advance for your help.

    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!

  • Microphone Problem SB XFI Xtreme Gamer

    & I have a headset that has a microphone. When I plug in the mic, I can't record any sound. I see a red light coming from the port, which leads me to believe that it is set to digital out. How do I change this so it recognizes the analog microphone [email protected]

    *Re: Microphone Problem SB XFI Xtreme GamerK Hi necrochaos,
    I think this is the same problem I had for a while, which had me pulling my hair out until I found the annoyingly simple solution. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
    In the Creative Console Launcher (this is in Game mode, guess it's different for the other two.), open the Mixer tab and then under the slider bar that has "REC"in red, click the little drop down arrow and select microphone. This is all I needed to do I think. Test it with Windows Sound Recorder.
    Also in Settings (very bottom-center of the Creative Console Launcher)I noticed that there's a category called "Digital I/O" and under that Flexijack Mode with the option to select between Digital I/O and Mic/Line-In. It's greyed-out on mine but maybe that'll work for you? Hope that hel
    ps.

  • Installation problem on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter edition 64bit

    hi
    today, i tried to install the current maxdb 7.8 release on my virtual server with a windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition os. at the first installation, i got an error message something with "rte runtime error". at this point, the installation stopped.
    because of this error, i tried to uninstall the failed installation. this was not possible, in the uninstaller, i didn't see any components, so i can't uninstall.
    so i tried to delete the files manually: the entries in the start menu, and the application's path under "program files"... first, i need to kill a process named "serv.exe", that creates a tcp daemon under port 7200... after killing it, the deletion of the dir in program files was successful.
    this is very very weird, now my server is "contaminated" with an uncomplete uninstallation of maxdb...
    why maxdb 7.8 has problems on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition???
    thanks for feedbacks!
    regards, jan

    > no, because i canceled this virtual server - another method to solve this problem. (i have really no time for things like that..!)
    If you take the time to give exact error messages then someone will be certainly able to help
    > on windows server 2003, there are NO problems.
    Windows 2003 != Windows 2008 - they use a different kernel, a different security system (UAC) and other features that may prevent a succesfull installation in the first place.
    I installed a MaxDB 7.8 just today on Windows 2008 R2 and it worked fine.

  • Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

    First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation  worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
    (Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
    it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w,  deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
    and
    then
    I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)"  from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
    The values I filled for
    1) Global Database Name :  orcl
    2) System Identifier : orcl
    3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
    4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
    5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
    6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
    Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
    Username : sys/ as sysdba
    Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
    After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

    Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
    Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

    Lightroom 3.2 Installation Problem on Windows 7 64-bit
    I can't install Lightroom 3.2 (German) on my computer (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit).
    While copying the extracted program files the following error message appears:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {6435B7C0-E0C8-3EA2-91AE-7640034EAFCE}. HRESULT: 0x80070002.
    I found out that other users had the same problem, and couldn't find a solution.
    Perhaps it is a Microsoft .NET Framework related problem. But after installing .NET Framework 4 nothing changed.
    Thanks for ideas to solve the problem.

    Thanks for your advice, Mr. McLion.
    I downloaded the 3.4.1 version and started the installation as administrator. Unfortunately the same error message occured again.
    Then I tried to install the 32-bit version (although I prefer a 64-bit program on a 64-bit operating system). A similar error message appeared at the same point of installation progress, but with another combination of numbers and letters in brackets.

  • TS3918 I am experiencing this problem on Windows 7 64 bit.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I am experiencing aniTunes reinstall problem on Windows 7 64 bit.    I have uninstalled the iTunes product and reinstalled 11.02 for windows 7 64 bit but can't get iTunes going again.  The first error message I get is: "The file "iTunes Libirary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  The next error message I get is:  "There is a problem sending the command to the program."  Any suggestions on what to do next would be appreciated. ( I would have posted this in Windows area had I been given a choice.)

    I believe that message can sometimes be a sign of a corrupt library file, unless of course you've tried to downgrade to an older build of iTunes. Restore it as described in this post.
