Microphone works bu

I have an SB audigy 2 zs, I managed to get the sound working, under windows xp. I have disabled my onboard sound. But now that my microphone works, I can not get it to turn off. It is always on. How do I stop this from always being on?

I have an Audigy Platinum Pro Ex and was experiencing the same problem.
It was extremely frustrating and meant I could not get any useful recordings because as soon as I turned the volume up I got feedback. The recording levels appeared to be directly linked to the speaker volume.
Anyway, to resolve this problem (after some discussion direct with Creative Support) I discovered that there is a trick in the Creative Surround Mixer that is not explained (at all) in the documentation, not is it very intuiti've.
In the part of the mixer with all the sliders the box on the left (ie. vol, bass, treble) is the master speaker volume, the box on the right with the single slider is the recording level (the icon above the slider selects the source) and all the sliders between the two boxes control the levels of each source going to the speakers. To ensure a pure recording and prevent any of the input sources going to the speakers you will need to mute any input devices you have connected in this section.
To put it simply, if you don't want your microphone input to go to the speakers mute them in the mixer. Only the single slider in the box on the right hand side of the mixer panel will set recording levels.
Hope this hel
ps.

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • My microphone works....but my plug-in microphone hole doesn't...

    Hey guys,
    My microphone works cause I use it on web chat all the time...
    My line-in that I can plug a microphone doesn't work...
    What could be cauing it?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If it's a T510 or T410 and you are plugging a regular  microphone directly into the combo headset jack, that's your problem.  That new combo jack is a 4 pole jack and while plugging headphones into it will work just fine, jacking a microphone directly in won't work.
    You'll need a special splitter for that.

  • I've lost my SB Audigy installation CD. Is there any chance to have a microphone worki

    Yeah, I've lost my SB Audigy installation CD, and after a recent format I can't install AudioHQ, Creative Recorder, PlayCenter and all that software - I just have the drivers, which I downloaded from the internet. Is there any chance to have my microphone working again? Becasue ATM it does not work, I bet I need some software from the insallation CD to get it to work, but I no longer have that CD! Can I download what I need from the internet? Can I somehow get another insallation CD? Finally, will it work if I plug my microphone into my motherboard's integrated soundcard, and my headphones into SB Audigy? Help me... I'm gonna have an important UT2004 scrimmage soon, and without a mic I'm useless there!

  • [Unusual Case] Microphone works but Built-in Speak...

    I've just returned from a 2-week trip.  After I got home I  tried skyping my girlfirend and she had no problem hearing me. HOWEVER, I could not hear a word from her or any other person. My built-in speaker works on every other program but Skype. I've tried going into Tools->Options->Audio Settings and set both my microphone and speakers into Yeti Stereo Microphone but only Microphone works. In addition to that , I have called Echo/Sound Test Service and I could hear the bot fine except for real humans. A promptly response will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

    I had a similar problem with my external microphone, and for me it turned out that while I could see the device was operating properly I hadn't actually selected it to be active.
    In manage recording devices you need to make sure the microphone has the green tick to say it is selected or it will go through all the diagnostics as working properly but you won't get any sound from it.

  • Microphone works but people cannot hear me over the phone

    I know my microphone works well. I can record videos, and voice messages and it works fine. However, any time I talk to someone over the phone, they can't hear me well, like I'm miiiiiiiiiiiiiles away. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Settings, maybe? Help

    My speaker is broken.... But my microphone works except my speaker but you can hear music out of it but you have to put it really close to your ear.... How do I fix it????

    You don't - you check your warranty status and have apple replace it for you. make sure you restore the phone as new first (after making a backup, of course) to see if the speaker works then. this isolates the issue to either your hardware or your software. if it's still happening after a restore as new through itunes, it means it's hardware that's the problem and apple will fix it for you

  • I'm trying to get built-in microphone working on Satellite C850

    Dear Forum
    I am trying to get the built-in microphone working on my C850.
    Nothing is recorded if I use the sound recorder utility.
    In the Recording tab the only microphone listed is a Realtek High definition Audio which is set as the default device, is enabled and mute is off.
    Should this be an internal microphone?
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    > While researching this I saw screenshots where the microphone was listed as 'Internal Microphone'. In my laptop it is listed as 'Realtek High Definition Audio'. Could my laptop not 'know' that it has a built-in microphone?
    Obviously the notebook supports the Realtek HD audio driver.
    I would recommend you to download and to install the latest Realtek HD audio driver which you could download directly from the Realtek page: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

  • HT201401 Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free

    Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free (speaker on) mode.  Otherwise, only a constant buzz, accompanied by regular clicks (repeating 2-3 times/sec) can be heard by called persons or when recording a memo.  Makes Siri unusable, and cannot make private calls unless in a private area.  Does anybody have a fix for this?

    Okay I just solved the problem myself..
    For anyone that may have the same issue:
    The microphone used when recording video, is the little dot next to the jack on top of the iPhone 4S (maybe also iPhone 4, don't know). There was some dirt in this tiny little hole, and I simply just removed it with a very thin needle, and now it works great!
