New Microphone input, no volume showing

I just bought a device called the "iMic" - http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic -
and a professional microphone, to do voice/spoken word recordings in garageband on my mac.
I plugged everything in, selected the microphone in both my mac os and garageband preferences sound imput, and did a recording. It registers sound in the displays on the screen, but when I play it back there is no sound. I've tried it a dozen times and get the same result.
So I plugged my cheap old logitech mic back in, changed no settings except the sound input source, did a recording, and it works fine, lots of volume.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what could be wrong with my new mic set up?

  • I am not getting any sound input on my microphone. There is no microphone input on my new macbook pro, so I am using my old one. Is this a problem with the new operating system? Did they simply remove any microphone software?

  • Microphone Input Not Showing on Garageband 10.0.1 (Macbook Pro Late 2013)

    I am using GB 10.0.1, trying to connect a microphone to my Macbook Pro (Late 2013) and record a few things. But the input doesn't show up at all... The only thing that shows up is "Built In Microphone". What should I do?

    an SM58 is a dynamic mic, not a condenser, it does not use Phantom power, however there still are reasons why you can not plug an SM58 directly into a Mac, and do indeed need an interface:

  • Microphone Very Low Volume

    Hi
    I have been using my new MXL USB 007 stereo microphone on Windows 7 Professional with clear quality audio for a while now.
    On Monday 26 November 2012, I reformatted my PC laptop hard disk and installed Windows 8 Pro.
    Now, the quality of the recorded audio is heavily subdued without the clear clarity I used to get. In other words, I am getting very low volume, even though the recording level is on 85 (I tried with 90 as well. 100 has way too much distortion).
    As a test, I connected the same microphone to another one of my machines that still has Windows 7 Professional, and the audio result was excellent. So, it’s not the actual microphone.
    I have checked the Windows 8 sound settings. It says the device is working properly. There is only the Levels to adjust and under the Advanced tab, I have 2 channel, 16 bit, 48 kHz, DVD quality - same as before on Windows 7.
    Is there some setting or something else I should do on Windows 8 to get decent sound again?
    Any ideas? Please help ....
    Thank you.

    I have reinstalled Windows 8 Pro twice, both times formatting the disk.
    The first time, I connected the microphone immediately after the OS install.
    The second time, I connected the microphone only after all Windows Updates and device drivers were applied.
    In both cases, the problem of very low input volume remains.
    I searched online, and found somebody else has the same problem with a different vendors microphone.
    I quote from:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/1251-73-microphone-input
    "I use Cakewalk for sound processing and have discovered that my Samson CO1U
    microphone has almost no input strength under Windows 8. I have tweaked about everything I can imagine. Any ideas? "
    On my machine, I looked at Device Manager and found:
    From the above screenshot, it seems like the USBAUDIO.sys file is one of several being used.
    Unless I am mistaken, all of the sound device driver files for the USB Audio CODEC are Microsoft files.
    If so, can we please get a Windows Update on this issue?
    Awaiting in anticipation ....

  • Text input box to show in another text field

    Hello,
    I have a text input box (Text1) showing during a certain label on the stage.  On another label there is another text field (Text2) that is not input-able.  This second text field (Text2) should show whatever the user has inputted in the first text input field (Text1).
    Both of these elements are not symbols and right now they are both text elements.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks,
    ~iana~

    I believe the inputField is set accordingly.  And including your reply, here's what I've got on my stage:
    sym.$("Name").attr('contentEditable', true);
    var inputValue = sym.$("Name").value;
    // other text
    sym.$("Signature").html(inputValue);
    Thus far, this does not work. "Name" field is Text1 (inputField) and the "Signature" is Text2 (text box)
    I'm new to all this so I've prob got something wrong...do you know what I should adjust?

  • How can I reformat my hard drive if erase and partition don't work in disk utility and I get an error when I try to erase and install from the Leopard install disk?  I have had several kernel panics, but the volume shows up in startup disk.

    I have had several kernel panics on my iBook G4; the panic message shows up just after the desktop appears. Although the startup volume shows up in Startup Disk, the installation disk reports an error when I attempt an erase and install. Disk utility is unable either to erase or partition the hard drive. The hard drive shows up in disk utility, but the startup volume doesn’t  HELP!!!

    Do you have the original system discs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Erasing the disc and installing Mac OS X 10.5 will result in loss of the other applications (such as the iLife applications) which came pre-installed on the iBook.

    I have been trying to update Adobe reader but every time i trie to this message shows up: Error 1324: The path New Folder or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again. I am running on Windows XP SP3 and using the latest firefox browser. I am not sure if this question has already been answered in this forum so if it has a link to the thread would be appreciated.

    For investigating more on this issue we would need the install log. For creating install log follow the below steps:
    1. Go to start menu and run command
    2. Type Regedit and press enter key
    3. Go to the following path and create keys:

    then  Install Reader X update. Once you get the error message get the snapshot of error message and then Type %temp% and hit enter. Get the file name as  MSI----
    Provide the snapshot of error message as well as MSI log.

  • How can I set the microphone input level?

    How can I set the microphone input level?

    It would be best to use the standard windows mixer "sndvol32.exe" (in the windows directory) and control it with the System Exec.vi from the Communication palette.
    You may want to look at the following discussion thread, too:

  • Constantly record and analyze microphone input

    Is it possible to analyze microphone input data while it is being recorded? My program needs to measure the input voltage and the program needs to procede when the voltage is equal to 5V.
    Thank  you.

    The sound card can be a bit problematic in this sense especially if you change the input gain for the mic and watch out for any bass boost function being on used as this will affect the scale as well.
    As for the scaling on a standard sound card, there is none as such (see article 3 below). The input
    is represented as ±32767 on a standard 16 bit card and obviously larger
    for the newer 24bit cards.
    The easiest option would be to generate a signal, measure it and then play into the mic input. I would suggest that the mic input (or possibly better the line input) would be in the order of a couple of hundred milli volts so if youre sure that you have a five volt signal then you will need to scale the input with a resistor (say a 5K ohm variable resistor set up as a potential divider).
    You may find that the following articles will help not only with the principles but with the practice as well: -

  • Microphone input not work

    Hi,
    I have a Sound blaster Audigy 2 Platinum and Windows doesn't seem to be picking up the microphone inputs. If I plug in a microphone or electric guitar the sound comes out of the speakers fine, so the ports are working but it doesn't register in windows (e.g, sound recorder and sonar dont pick it up.) In control panel the advance buttons for microphone and midi recorder are greyed out, and if I run a microphone test setup thing in windows even though the sound is coming out of the speakers, it dont register with the green bars and it says no device detected.
    I've upgraded from a sound blaster li've value, and didnt have any problems with that, anyone know what the problem is?

    K, downloaded and installed all the stuff off the disk.
    Same thing, Windows doesn't seem to pick up that I have recording properties on the card, output of sound works fine. In mixer its set to microphone far right, and I can record in all the creative software stuff like stream recorder etc, but cant seem to get anything like Sonar and sound recorder in windows to detect anything, so its definetly a driver issue.
    Any suggestions? Im using Windows XP with service pack two, and the drivers for the card show up as SB Audigy [E600] in windows, but the advanced tabs for recording options are greyed out in control panel.

  • ES1373 microphone input not being detec

    I own a 6 yo Pentium III 733 MHz PC using Win98SE and IE6 and OE6. Recently I upgraded to ADSL unlimited broadband so I decided to connect a camera and microphone to communicate with a friend about 500 Km away using MSN Messenger 7. My old digital camera with USB cable worked first go. For some reason nothing will detect the microphone input to the red plug which I checked here was correct. The microphones are ok because sound comes out my speakers. My computer shop is not interested given its age. I cannot install a new sound card because of Win98SE. Nothing seems wrong in BIOS. Drivers say are working ok. Have changed analogue and digital input settings without any result. Any suggestions welcome!

    I did get an answer to my problem.  It was specifically with skype and Rossetta Stone.  I had to re-install the apps and then do the general upgrade.  It fixed the problem.  Works fine now.

  • I have a Quicksilver twin 800 mhz and use 4.11. My volumes show a question mark(?) on upper right corner. What is going on ?

    I have a Quicksilver twin 800 mhz and use 4.11.
    My volumes show a question mark(?) on upper right corner.
    What is going on ?

    One other thought: does the question mark go away when you open a folder?
    I am beginning to suspect that maybe just right-clicking the Finder window's toolbar and selecting "Customize Toolbar" and then seeing if you can drag the question mark off the tool bar, like there is some phantom item that the Finder can't resolve.
    A puzzle.  It definitely has something to do with the Finder toolbar, though.  I'm pretty sure of that at this point.
    EDIT:  OK, I recreated the situation.  You can drag an AppleScript to the toolbar so it will always be available.  However, if that AppleScript file goes away, what's left is the dreaded question mark.  The solution is to just drag the question mark off the toolbar while having the "Customize Toolbar" pane open as instructed above.
    Well, I learn something new today, and it's only 52 minutes into the day.  My work here is done.
    Now you see it:
    Now you don't:
    Actually, you can just right-click on the question mark and select "Remove Item" and it should be gone.

    Adobe is a company... what does "Adobe 10" and "Adobe 7" mean?
    If you bought those on disc I don't think they are part of the Cloud
    The serial number is usually on a sticker on the disc holder inside the box

  • I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

    I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

    A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
    I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.
    Regards.
