No audio input device found

Hello -
went to Skype with Sis this evening and I could hear and see her - she could see but not hear me.
Had a look around and message = No Audio Input Device Found.
Had a look on the net and cant find a solution.
If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would be grateful.
every good wish,
David.
This question was solved.

I worked this out myself.
Get into Hardware and Sound, then Manage Audio Devices.
So when you disable a device it disappears from the menu you are looking at. You have to enable it. Trouble is you cant enable it because you cant see it - its not there for you to right mouse click on. I went into speakers menu rather than microphone menu and right mouse clicked on a speaker icon and it gave me the option of showing everything that was disabled.So I clicked on show disabled devices I went back into microphone menu and hey presto it was there and I could enable it. I tested it on a sound recording programme and it worked.
It hadnt gone anywhere , you just couldnt see it.
"No Audio Input Device Found" is very misleading - surely "Audio Input Device Disabled" would be better + why make the icon disappear anyway?!

Audio input device missing since repairing permissions?

Help! I advised my husband to repair permissions on his macbook today so he did and now he's angry with me because one of his audio input devices is no longer showing up in system preferences. It's something called a "firebox" and he uses it to record live audio. He swears it is plugged in correctly and it worked yesterday so now apparently it is all my fault that it doesn't work tonight. He has already tried restarting (my favorite troubleshooting option). What can we do? applecare is already closed, of course, so we can't call.

I've been googling on "Pavillion 23 touch screen". I don't see that model sporting any "line in" port.
Are you sure that's a line in input or the headphone input?
Try to connect a headphone to it and see if sound come out of it.

10.4.10 Update kills most USB audio input devices for iChatAV

I have a Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro that has a built in Mic. The UVC compliant camera still works, but under 10.4.9 the mic worked also; however, it no no longer shows up as an audio input device.
Intel Mac Mini 2GB RAM / MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Add another to the pile, slightly different: No audio support for my FIREWIRE based audio interface.
Running 10.4.10, software update installed.
OSX recognizes it, at any sample rate I want to use it at.
Sound setup, everything else (my whole entire studio) recognizes it.
iChat AV, when I go to the video tab to select "microphone" will give me default of none and then my device name (mLAN audio network). As soon as I select my device, the microphone option disappears completely. The only way to get the selection option back is to restart iChat, upon which the problem repeats itself.

No audio input devices on Satellite L100-120

Hello!
I have Satellite L100-120 Notebook. I have problem setting up audio capture device. Sound works just fine, but there is no audio input device (disabled in sound manager).
I have Windows XP SP3 installed.
sound driver is sound-psla0-xp-31100
any ideas?

Hi there,
did you already tried the genuine sounddrivers from conexant? Maybe your audio input device works after installing the sound card manufacturers driver.
Another reason could be the SP3 which brings besides the benefits some driver related problems with, would be also a option to check the microsoft knowledgebase for some fixes or workarounds.
Just search for conexant sound driver and maybe you will find something.

HT3625 audio input device is not ready to use

My audio input device is not ready to use. Any idea? I have one macbook pro 13".
Thank you for your help.

MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012. – And as the link you provided says, the products affected are all pre 2012. After that (or at least in my mac from mid 2012) there is no "'Use audio for:' menu selection" to choose anything from.

Remove a Bluetooth Audio Input Device

Quick question...
I added a friend's Bluetooth headset to my MacBook Pro just to show him how easy it is to integrate Bluetooth devices to OS X, and anyway, I go home, and the Bluetooth headset is still under my audio input devices. How do I remove this out of there? I thought of deleting the Sound Preferences pane, but I don't think that would do the trick...

I'd try here.

Missing audio input devices

I have 5 mac pro systems. All running the same OS and software versions. All using the AJA Io HD as the primary A/V capture device. 1 of the mac pros can select the Aja IO HD as the audio input in Soundtrack...on the other 4 the option is missing. But if you click configure device, the Aja is there..youjust can't assign it..I a able to use the Aja as an audio input in Quicktime on all machines as well as FCP, Audacity, etc..so I can't see how it would be a driver issue and I have used the exact same configuration in the aja control panel..any ideas?

Well, I'm still on the same machine I once installed Leopard (10.5) on, and I've upgraded to Snow Leopard to Lion and now to Mountain Lion, the only thing I always had to replace after installation was the AppleHDA.kext (in System>Library>Extensions). The version I have is 1.8.4fc3. But there's no guarantee that that'll work for you, chances are you have different hardware.
If you use an audio interface with drivers, you won't need the .kext - but you don't get the built in inputs (which are crap anyway, compared to an external (24 bits) audio interface).

Why don't USB stereo audio input devices work with the iPod Touch 4G?

The Fostex AR-4i and the Line6 Mobile In provide stereo audio input via USB on the iPads and the iPhone 4.
Why can't these devices work on an iPod Touch 4G?

Does the manufactur say it works with the iPod Touch? Many accessories do not work with all three iDevices (iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone)

CP4 Post-patch, program fails to properly recognize audio input devices

I am using Captivate 4 on a 64 bit PC running Windows 7 and a RealTek sound card. I have installed both the general patch and a specific patch from Adobe marked as addressing the issues with recognizing RealTek sound cards but to no avail.
Captivate still will not appropriately recognize my input device. I have not even been able to calibrate it. I've included a screen capture of the settings dialogue box below. The Audio Devices drop-down menu is always unavailable for selection ("greyed out") and always shows the device "Volume". Choosing different options does not alter this availability and selecting "Calibrate Input" does nothing.....the program literally takes no action whatsoever.
When I have attempted to record test pieces the Record, Stop, Advance, etc. functions also do not operate appropriately.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Solved.
It was trivial: I cleaned the drive twice with a special kit.

Make audio input device application specific?

Is there a way to set the audio input to switch between devices automatically, based on what application is in the foreground? For example, set it to Built-in Microphone when Skype is in front, and Built-in Input when Auadacity is in front? It's a pain in the neck to have to go to System Preferences several times per day and manually change it back and forth.

In Skype, from the Skype menu choose Preferences: click on the Audio button in the toolbar. You will see menus for Audio output, Audio input and Ringing. You can, for example, set Audio Input to 'Built-in Microphone Internal Microphone' (or equivalent) and this is independent of what you have System Preferences>Sound set to.

// i think the problem is with this line below, where it searches
// for a device that does LINEAR encoding with the specified
// SampleRate and SizeinBits in MONO format!!
AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat("LINEAR", 8000, 8, 1);
Vector devices = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(format);
CaptureDeviceInfo di = null;
if(devices.size() > 0)
di = (CaptureDeviceInfo)devices.elementAt(0);
else
System.out.println("No devices found");
System.exit(-1);
lc = di.getLocator();
would also provide the code of the full application ...if you can help me regarding that! thanx!

Another "No Audio Input Device..." - Satellite U305-S5107

Hi,
I've got the same model, and like many others, can't get rid of the red X and sound icon message "No audio output device is installed". Sound icon in control panel says 'no sound device is installed', both for playback and recording, though elsewhere I find the apparent name of the phantom device and all was working fine until a startup a few days ago. Device Manager has a yellow ! next to Realtek High Def Audio. Properties gives a code 10 cannot start error message. A click to update driver tells me that it's not necessary.
Have followed the advice on other threads - installed Realtek driver update v.6.0.1.5322, but on restart, nothing happened, nothing changed; on the 3rd attempt, I ended up at a Compatibility tool that seems to say the update is irrelevant (because I don't have the driver?). Also did a System Restore to a date when all was still fine, but the red X was still there. And I tried disabling Chicony USB Camera, as recommended in one thread - also to no avail.
Can you help this semi-literate user to get his sound back?

Have you installed all updates from Windows Update and Service Station?

Audio input device

What type of device do I use to get a guitar to record into Logic express 9? I want to start with an entry level device rather than an expensive one until I get more adept at recording.

Hi,
you'll need any type of audio interface that has an instrument or so called "Hi-Z" input. I would not recommend a cheap one, but a way to go would be the Alesis IO2 or the Tascam US-100 or (if you really want to start at a cheap level) - the Behringer UCG102.
Good interfaces for guitar also come from Line6.
But there is a huge load of this stuff. You may also buy a cheap guitar-to-USB-cable to start with. It's your choice.

Can I use 2 Audio Input Devices

Hi,
I am using Mainstage with Apogee's GIO. I want to add a separate audio interface for Microphone (as GIO only supports guitar).
Is there anyway I can use both at the same time whilst performing in Mainstage?
Many Thanks
Scott

JG,
Thanks for replying.
I have setup the aggregate device in Audio Midi Setup, but it will not let me select it in Mainstage. It does have an option for System settings. But when I select this the Input options on the Channel Strips are still the same.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm a bit of a Mac novice I'm afraid
Cheers
Scott
