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.

[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.

Logitech USB headphones - microphone works but not sound output

Seems like the sound output to my Logitech USB headphone has stopped. The microphone inputs but the sound output is blocked. Could be technical issue with the set but was wondering of anyone else has this problem after the last update to 10.14.0

ChickInVici,
Having similar issue with iPad 2. No volume on Apps or Music (except when using headphones). Just started happening after months of no issues. Have reset/ restored with no solution. Can you provide more detail with your solution? I went to >settings>accessibility>voiceover.....but could not find headphones etc... what am I missing. Could you be more specific on what you changed to resolve your issue.
thanks

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

Hard drive works, but when plugged in hangs the system

First of all, since this is not a Linux-specific problem I'm not sure this is the right place for this post.
Anyway, for the past few years I've been using a 250GB IDE hard drive mostly to store backups on. For quite a while it worked fine, but when plugged in again after being removed so I could clean out the dust in my PC it didn't work quite right anymore. It caused the system to hang and gave error messages remniscent of those detailed on this page. After some fiddling it worked OK for a while, and then one day it randomly did this again. I took the ribbon cable out, then the hard drive, and realized one of the pins was pushed in (at the time I thought it was broken). After some reading I decided to sacrifice a ribbon cable. What I did was yank a pin off of an old DVD drive that doesn't work and shoved it in the cable where the short pin was. I made sure it was seated well, plugged in in, and hoped for the best. To my delight it worked without a hitch for maybe a year or more.
And then a little more than a month ago we had lightning strike a power line outside of our house and it fried my motherboard. I now have a replacement board, but after all of the taking apart and moving around and stuff, the hard drive is back to its old antics. The pin-in-the-cable trick wasn't working anymore. After I realized that the pin wasn't broken half-way but rather pushed in, I grabbed some needlenose pliers and pulled it out. It now will plug into any ribbon cable just fine and the computer recognizes it, but it's slow at POST and hangs the system when booting the OS, whether it be Linux or Windows. Knoppix CDs boot just fine, although slower. S.M.A.R.T. sees no problems.
Basically I'm wondering 2 things. First of all, is there anything I can do to get around the hangs? And second, I'm considering buying an external hard drive enclosure for regular 3.5 inch hard drives and using it as an external USB drive. Since the drive does still work and I can add/remove stuff while booted in Knoppix, and the main issue seems to be my system hanging, I figure, maybe, I can just plug in the drive when I need it after the computer is already booted up and it will work fine. Does this sound like a reasonable expectation?

What you hear may sound like it's the hard drive, but it's really an electronic type of noise. Same with my PB. Try what BGreg said, and wait for the drive to spin down - you'll still hear the noise.
There was a thread about this issue several months ago, and IIRC the conclusion was that it's a normal noise, and that you should just ignore it if possible.
If you must make it quieter, set processor performance to the lowest setting in Energy Saver preferences. But it's not going away completely.

Pavilion dv7 Microphone works, but not when setting up Wima Blackboard Webinar

Can't get microphone to install for Wimba setup for my Blackboard class webinars. Mic works otherwise. Pavilion dv7 user.

Here is a link to a document regarding batteries and testing the battery in HP Support Assistant.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00821429&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
If you don't have HP Support Assistant on your system follow the instructions below to download it:
Where do I get HP Battery Check?
You can download the latest version of the HP Battery Check for Windows XP as a single program. Or you can do one of the following download and install it as part of the HP Support Assistant for Vista or Windows 7 for your model; or see HP Support Assistant (English Only) .
Make sure you have had your ac adapter plugged in to charge the battery for at least 30 min before running the test from Support Assistant to get an accurate result.
Hope this helps

Microphone working but faulty probably after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hi, internal microphone used to work OK but now its functioning but not picking up my voice, it gives the impression its "listening" to something else, a skype test just returns "background" noises, I dont think its a garbled version of my speech as the sound bars do not fluctuate in line with me shouting abuse at it. Any ideas?
(tried borrowing external mic, worked fine)
(Win 8.1)

Bill, thanks for that info. I don't think I would ever expect to get any support from Adobe on these programs, since I stopped buying revisions after CS4. I was surprised that I was even able to successfully install the CS4 Web suite onto Win 8.0, and Win 8.1 probably adds another couple hundred million lines of redundant code from our friends in Bill Gates-Land.
However, my A-Pro9 problem did resolve unexpectedly! I tried opening all the suite's programs, one at a time, and then Acrobat, with no luck. Then I realized that the suite had installed both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Photoshop (I use the 64-bit version) onto my new 64-bit computer. So, when I opened the *32-bit Photoshop* for a minute, closed it, and re-opened Acrobat 9, it went back to working normally. I'll take it!

Microphone works but dictation does not work

My dictation software was working fine then suddnely not so much. I have ensured it has been enabled, I have selected automatic detection as the default, I have choesen the internal microphone as the default, I have chosen the external microphone as the default, I have even deleted the
file://localhost/Users/williams/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist file and rebooted, tested my internal and external microphones through the system preferences dictation setup (both register as working while in dictation preferences as indicated by the microphone symbol responding to sound), I've ensured the language was set to english (US) and closed all other programs.
Once the dication command is selected the microphone pops up and viola no response as if the microphone is no longer working!!! I am sooo much more productive with the speech to text function and really need it back. Anyone with any new/additional suggestions will be most welcome and I appreciate the help!

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!

PC is showing realtk high definition audio working but not showing not plugged in

computer is a hp pavillion a6763w desktop PC.
i had installed a ati video card and all worked perfectly for a while after updating the drivers for it my onboard sound went out. the sound would play through the hdmi output but no other output. i uninstalled video card and drivers and reverted back to old drivers. did a restore point. reset the bios to enable onboard sound. reinstalled drivers for onboard sound. tried installing a sound card and it was not recognized by the computer. but still PC is showing realtk high definition audio working but nothing plugged in when it is. also i have tries several different devices being plugged in and none of them worked.

Hi,
When installing a discreet sound card, you should disable on board audio.
With HDMI, you have to chose speakers or HDMI but not both. It's one or the other.
What ATI video card are you using and did you upgrade your power supply?
Did you go to www.realtek.com and download the latest audio drivers when using the on board audio?

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.
