Noise cancellation mic turn off

Location services can match a registered device to a location, duration, and time of day- but the big brother stuff gets freaky when data is streamed through the mic(s). Is there a way to toggle off the mics when user does not request mic services. Like hardware switch would be nice.
ALSO:
When using a Shure SE115+m, three mics are present in the noise canceling mic array. Sounds great but results are worse than no noise cancellation at all. The same device works fantastic on iphone 3GS. Iphone4 clips the wrong sounds, amplifies the wrong sounds, and does all this without me being able to control this. Get it right if you're deciding for me please....
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?...

I don't know of any way to disable the noise cancellation, but I can understand why you would want to do it. Have you tried putting your finger over the noise cancellation mic to be sure that is the problem?
Send your feedback to Apple. This seems like something they could easily add to their next OS update.
Yea, I tried putting my finger over the mic and it doesn't do anything. Would be cool if you could send feedback as well:

Lumia 925 noise cancelling mic problems

I have two problem, questions:
First, I lived in Kuwait and there I bought a Nokia lumia 925 with 12 months Nokia warranty, however I moved back to my home country, is the warranty valid here too?
-the real problem- :
Unfortunately I need it since the noise cancelling Mic does not work on it. The other microphone at the bottom of the phone works great, because during a phone call there is no problem, they hear me.
However I expected today, when I recorded a video and played it back, it was not mute, but it was like the phone would be in water, I only heard strange muffled sounds. I looked after it, I had been cleaning it for an hour: I blew air into the top microphone with a pump, with my mouth... It did not succeed, it got a little bit better, since now that strange sound is more quiet, and when I shout in it , I can hear it.
Anyway it does not even work while I am recording in the OneNote app.
It is not a solution, it is still terrible.
Please help me!

Hi DaGentleman,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Try to use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool and then check if it helps. See this link for more info: Nokia Software Recovery Tool. If that doesn't help, we suggest sending it back to a Nokia Care Point in Kuwait. Try to search it using this link: Nokia Care Point.

Is the noise cancellation mic on my iphone 5s waterproof?

Is the noise cancellation mic on my iphone 5s waterproof? or can water enter my iphone through it? and how else can moisture enter my iphone, coz it's really humid over here. Are there any other openings i should be worried about?

No. There is nothing in an iPhone that's waterproof. If you wish to waterproof it, then buy a case that makes it close to or completely waterproof.
Try not to exceed these conditions:
Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet (3000 m)

Mac Pro Power Supply making noise (even when turned off)

Hi everyone,
My Mac Pro Early 2008 (Dual quad core 2,8) began to make noise a while ago and it drives me mad.
The sound is (100% sure) coming from the Power Supply. The sound is not mechanical, but electrical, like an oscillator crackle sort of.
First I thought it was the PSU itself, so I had it replaced with a new one, but that did not change the situation.
The (new) PSU makes excactly the same noise, even when my computer is turned off (but still connected to the power socket in the wall).
I've eliminated all possible factors that could create an interference (other electrical devices). I even completely switched off the power of my office, except for one power socket; the one I used to test the Mac. As soon as I connected the Mac, as soon the noise came back. So, it's got to be inside the Mac.
So my question is: if it's not the PSU, nor the power of my office, what could it be?
PS: I've tried a UPS too... but that did not change a bit.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Imac makes fan noise when it turns off or goes to sleep

Hello,
I bought a new iMac from bestbuy during the last week of april 2013.
Recently when I turn the iMac off or put it to sleep, it begins to make a loud fan noise at the back above the place where the power goes into the iMac. However, the moment I turn on the computer the sound goes away.
I left the iMac on for a few hours thinking the noise will go away on its own but it didnt. Now I always have to turn off the iMac and take the power out of the wall in order for it to not make noise.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve my problem? I have tried the SMC reset and the Pram reset however it does not seem to do the trick for me.

I would recommend resetting the SMC at least 3x back to back, sometimes it does not work the first time. If you don't know how please navigate to https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603 for detailed instructions. If that does not help, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone coverage or if you already bought AppleCare (VERY STONGLY RECOMMENDED) this will extend your 1 year warranty to 3 years and includes 3 years of phone support. If you are in the USA you can buy it from B&H Photo for as little as $122 vs. at BBY or Apple for $169.

SB Live! 24-bit: mic turn off when starting to pl

Here is my problem:
When I'm talking with Teamspeak and start to play Call of Duty 2, my mic shuts down. Meaning the REC bar goes down. So after I have opened the game, I have to go back to windows and put from the mixer REC bar up again so that others can hear me.
The part which annoying is that I can speak for quite a long time, until I notice that no one is answering to me, then I remember that the mic is off
So if anyone has a good idea how to keep the REC bar always up, let me know. I have a friend who has the same card and same problem.
And my headset is creative HS-600 (no usb).
Thanx,
Late

COME ON! ANYONE?
I THINK I WILL NEXT TIME BUY SOMETHING ELSE THAN CREATIVE!!!
Go ahead then.
It's obvious that either your teamspeak or COD have problem and not because of the soundcard so if you think it's something to do with the soundcard then gd luck to you.

X-fi XtremeMusic makes ugly noise first, then turn off

Hey, I bought a XtremeMusic just some days ago and tried to install it. First question I had, was, if the card needs an extra current entry because in the manual is written, that I only need it for a E/A console, which I don't got.
So I just connected the PCI Slot and started the PC. I didn't have to deactivate the Onboardsound because I got another Soundcard before. So I just installed the drivers. (I got to say here, that I connected the card analog with my z5500 5. system)
First, anything I got was high peep tone - then I heard nothing. So I looked through the settings - everything was okay here. I visited the official homepage and loaded the newest drivers. After some reboots the card actually worked - for a day.
Today I wanted to test the headphonefunction of the card. I switched the card to headphones and put it in the green box. What I got was a feep-tone again. So I tested the headset with my mp3-player and it worked. So it's the soundcard again, making ugly noises.
But when I wanted to get the sound back to 5. - the tone remains. After a short time, the sound disappered fully. The strange thing is, that I can't really play music. When I play a song in Foobar, it can't start. Same in Youtube, it stocks after 3 seconds. Just the WMP plays songs - without sound.
I don't know what to do know because all the links in the stickies don't work. Please give me an advice howto clean all drivers to install them again. (And of course give me further information - If you know the problem)?

I may have misunderstood what you meant, but when I reinstall again over top of the existing drivers, the add new hardware wizard never even pops up. I only get that when I do a fresh install.. And in that case I ordinarily do select cancel..
Also, it turns out that I get these same errors when installing almost any Creative application or driver..Message Edited by PONCHO2 on 08-24-2008 03:06 PM

Can Long Exposure Noise Reduction be turned off ICLE5000L

So as above. Can it be truned off.I'm taking my own dark frames and using a PC to subtract them. Having to wait an HOUR for the camera to be able to take another shot after a 30 min exposure is down right irritating! It says on the Tech Spec, it is available. Not mandatory.

This Sony support page says "Long Exposure noise reduction is not performed with the following functions." Continuous Adv.Speed Priority Cont.Bracket: Cont.Intelligent AutoHand-held Night Shot in Scene SelectionAnti Motion BlurSweep Panorama I haven't tried but hoping one of the above will work for you.

A window pops up asking whether I am sure I want to turn it off, it warns me that I have to choose three questions and I am presented with two buttons, Cancel or Turn Off (That turn off button looks very tempting...so I click it)
...so...I am asked to provide three new questions, my DOB and a recovery email address....
And repeat....and repeat...

Any help?

Noise cancellation microphone

Hi.
Is there anyway to be really sure if the noise cancellation mic is working? I mean, like an app that test the hardware or something like that..
I'm asking this, beacuase, for exaple I tried to make a video with background loud music and me talking at the same time. I was expecting the music to be filtered but that didn't happened. Maybe It's the Camara app that doesn't use the noise cancellation feature, but I'm not sure.
Please, I want some opinions!

"
While most phones have only one microphone, iPhone 4 has two. The main mic, located on the bottom next to the dock connector, is for phone calls, voice commands, and memos. The second mic, built into the top near the headphone jack, is for FaceTime calls and for making your phone calls better. It works with the main mic to suppress unwanted and distracting background sounds, such as music and loud conversations. This dual-mic noise suppression helps make every conversation a quiet one."

It is not state of the art recording/motion picture industry equipment. It simply improves the quality over the one mic.

How can I turn off noise cancellation in the iPhone 5C?

I'm having trouble finding the noise cancellation on this iPhone. I know you're supposed to go into settings, then general, under accessibilty, and it's supposed to be the last option under hearing but it's not there. I'm not sure if I can find it somewhere else or not. I have found it on the iPhone 5S just not on the 5C. It is interfering with my FaceTIme conversations and I'd like to be able to turn it off.

I'm not certain if the 5C has the noise cancellation. If you look at the back of the phone near the camera, do you see a small hole there? I'm wondering since you do not locate the switch in Settings. Also, I'm curious as to how it is interferring with your FaceTime calls. I'm not doubting your word, I would just like to know how it is doing that.

Trying to turn on the noise canceling for iphone 5c

I am having trouble with my hand free system in my CRV and I was told there is a noise canceling selection in the settings but I am not seeing it. I need to turn this feature on so I can reduce the magnified noise coming through my hands free system. I have an iphone 5c

I'm having a problem with echoing, and see where people suggest turning off Noise Cancellation, but that option does not appear in my Settings menu. I go to Settings>General>Accessibility> but there is no Phone Noise Cancellation.
Where is it? Why is it not in my menu?
iphone 5c, ios 8.a.2 (12B440)
Will turning this off stop the echoing I hear of myself when I am talking on a call?

Turn Off Mic on Apple In-Ear Headphones

I finally received the New In-Ear headphones with Microphone for my touch.
After waiting so long for Amazon to ship them, I was worried about the sound quality from all the negative reviews.
The sound is great, BUT there is no way to turn off the microphone, so I can actually hear my breathing! If the cord is rustled at all, the microphone amplifies the noise to the headphones.
So if I keep PERFECTLY STILL, I have no complaints about sound quality, not even the bass.
It seems none of the reviewers have realized the microphone is amplifying every little sound and movement.
Is there any way to turn the microphone off when it's not needed?
Please?

Oh I don't think it's the Mic. If ya talk into it (the mic) it does not amplify your voice does it? No, I don't think it will. If ya just plug your ears shut with your fingers you will get the same sound situation as the earplugs are creating.
There has been a lot of discussion about the "noise" on the new headphones. It comes from the cord itself. And it's doing just what those old "cup with string walkie talkies" did when we (I) were kids. Every movement is being sent/vibrated up the cord to your well closed ears and it's just loud because your ears are shut. I ate some hard pretzels the other night with my earphones in and almost blew my eardrums out from the crushing sound. But it WAS NOT coming from the mic. This of course is my opinion and two cents worth.

New iMac: how can I get the internal mic to turn off?

I always have Facetime cameras and internal mics disabled for privacy. Cameras are easy to block, but the Sound pane doesn't allow me to disable the mic, only turn the input down to the bottom. Supposedly, its off, right?
Poking around in Prefs, I saw that my supposedly "disabled" microphone showed a response in the Dictation & Speech pane VU meter when I would snap my fingers around the bezel. Even worse, it showed a response to conversation in another room, the refrigerator starting up in the kitchen 25 feet away, and even an increase in ambient noise. Going back to the Sound prefs, the mic input is still turned "down" and doesn't show a response when I snap my fingers.
So... how is it that this supposedly defeated mic is working normally, and in fact exceeding expectations, despite being effectively turned "off" in the Sound pane?
Basically, this iMac is a very expensive bug sitting on my desk. Is there a way to properly disable the mic in the system? I can't even find the thing to block it physically, like with bezel cameras. There is no place for an external mic to plug in either, which would physically bypass any internal mic on my previous Macs.

Interested parties may want to know...
I went to the Apple Store two weeks ago for a replacement Airport Express. While I was waiting for it, I struck up a conversation with one of the store staff, and brought up the mic issue. We spent a good ten minutes going through the few ways of securing the mic, and we determined that every iMac made has the ability to continue listening evne though dictation is shut off. Unlike old Macs, you can't disable the mic in the Sound prefs. You can't turn off listening in the Dictation prefs - even though turning off "dictation" means the dictation part of the OS stops listening. The only way to definintely shut off the "listening" part is to keep the Audio Devices panel open, select Built-in Microphone, and make sure the master mute button is checked. Also, you have to leave the Dictation & Speech pane open in Preferences to watch the mic display.
Even so, going to any other preference panel and then back to Dictation & Speech means that the master mute will uncheck itelf and the mic goes back to listening mode.
The staff member was quite frustrated by this and said it appears the only way to stop the iMac from listening with any certainty would be to block the mic, just like millions of users block the Facetime camera with a piece of tape.
I suppose I should admit defeat at this point, and maybe I should have long ago recognized that no matter what the system tells us, we shouldn't trust it. Simply clicking on a radio button to disable what in all actuality is really a room bug shouldn't have us letting out a sigh of relief and saying "Wow I'm glad I was able to stop that security issue by trusting the machine to let me know when it was listening."
In another year my Apple Care will run out. Then I'm going to take this iMac to my local authorized service center to have a hybrid drive installed and the internal memory maxed out. While they're in there, I'll have the mic physically removed.
