Plug-in Mic won't work in SB-CS3

Hello, all!
I am trying to record voice-over files in SB CS3.
I have a regular, cheap standing microphone that simply plugs into the mic jack in front of my computer. It works for me without a problem when I'm recording in Audacity.
But, I get nothing when I try to record a new file in SB. I read the help section, which says that I might need to activate the mic in a panel, but for the life of me can't find that panel anywhere in my workspace or on any menu or tool bar.
I'm fairly Adobe savvy, and can usually sort of intuit my way around work spaces. This one has me stumped.
Can anyone help me??
Thanks!!
Mary

Follow up...
The choices I get when I click into the preferences/settings panel for output and input are:
Conexant HD Audio Output : on the output panel.
Conexant HD Audio Input : on the input panel.
Those are the only items listed in these windows. They are already "x" ed off and can't be un-"x"-ed.
The choices for ports on the recording panel are:
Conexant HD Audio Input-1/ Conexant HD Audio Input-2
and
Conexant HD Audio Input-3/Conexant HD Audio Input-3
Them's all the choices I can find throughout.
Thanks again.

My mic won't work on my webcam? HELP!

my mic won't work on my webcam? HELP!

OK, well you could try the "Macam" driver from here:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
...it supports lots of webcams - including some generic no-name ones from Staples!
Also: does the webcam ONLY have a USB cable? No 3.5mm minijack plug as well?
What application are you trying?
If Skype... under the Skype Preferences menu, audio-visual tab: are there any choices on the microphone drop-down menu?
Under the Apple Menu: System Preferences: Sound - Input - are there any choices shown?

My mic won't work on any applications. What do I do?

Ok. So whenever I skype call someone, My mic won't work! So I have to type in the skype chat while they talk. Kind of embarrising. Also, I need to make some screen and audio recordings on QuickTime Player. So I try to talk. Play back the audio recording. And no sounds! How do I get my mic to work?
Info on my computer: I run on Mac OSX Mountain Lion.

So do you have your internal microphone set as the input? Go to System Preferences > Sound > Input
And on Skype > Preferences, is this what you have set in Audio:

External mic won;t work

imovie won't record voice over using my
Plantonics USB mic. It worked on my last project
several months ago I've checked prefs and its selected
input and output... I'm stumped

Hi Terry - just guessing but are you trying to record while the movie is playing? It won't do that. You must record while the play-back is stationary.

My Blue Yeti mic won't work on my MacBook Pro?

I was looking through the posts on here and the only solution I could find was to reinstall Lion, so I did, but it still doesn't work. Everytime I plug the mic in it says, "USB device requires too much power." Does anyone know how to fix this? I just bought the mic. I tried calling the Blue mic costumer service but no one answers.

So.....what did you do to fix it?

"New" Godaddy webhosting account's won't work w/Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
I am having problems getting my Godaddy webhosting account's to work with Dreamweaver CS3. My older accounts work, it is my newer (last 6 months) accounts that have this issue. The ftp information works in my CuteFTP8 Professional. I called Godaddy tech support several times and they could not figure out. And, since it works in my FTP program, they said it is a Dreamweaver issue.
In the FTP host Remote Info I have tried www.domain.com, domain.com, ftp.domain.com with login and password. I also tried checking Use passive FTP, Use IPv6 Transfer mode, Use Secure FTP (SFTP) and leaving them all unchecked. The error message I always get is:
An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons: etc.
I compared information with my Dreamweaver accounts that do worked and still no luck.
The only thing I can think of is when you create a new hosting account with Godaddy, depending on the month, you are assigned a different web server. Could it be the old Godaddy web servers work and the new web servers may have different settings that don't work with Dreamweaver? Or, I need different setting information??? I am at my wits end.
Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
MonaE

Hi Mona:
If your FTP client works, then there has to be some miniscule detail that's different between that setup and what you're inputting into your DW Manage sites. Maybe you should print out your successful FTP setup details, and compare to what's in your DW...
If this helps, this info came from GoDaddy's help section:
From the Site menu, select Manage Sites.
In the Manage Sites box, Click New, then choose Site.
In the Site Definition box, enter the name and URL of your website and clickNext.
If a certain type of server technology is necessary for the site to function, selectyes. Otherwise, select no and click Next.
For working with files during development, select Edit local copies on my machine...(recommended). It is very important that they select this option.
Enter connection information as follows:
How do you connect to your remote server?
FTP
What is the hostname or FTP address of your web server?
ftp.domainname.com
What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?
/ or blank
Enter your FTP login and FTP Password
Click Next.
For checking in and out files, select No, do not enable..
Review the summary to be sure all information is accurate, then click Done.
I have a dozen sites hosted at GD, and in most cases (where I had trouble), it was operator error. Good luck!
Regards, Ned

Samson Q1U USB Mic won't work in Logic

Hey there,
My Samson Q1U Mic (USB) will not show as an available I/O in Logic.
It is selected in my Audio/Midi Preferences under Utilities, as well as under System Preferences in Sound Input, as well - it works in Garage Band - however, it does not show as an available device in Logic??
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to enable my snowball usb mic using the following procedure. I had logic studio open at the time, but I don't think it is necessary. In fact, you should probably do these steps (including above) before opening logic. By the way, I had never heard the term "aggregate device" before yesterday!
1. Mic was plugged in, powered up, and was working in SYSTEM PREFERENCES/ SOUND/ Input. I highlighted the mic and it was registering sound.
2. Go to UTILITIES/ audio midi setup. After window opens, go to the very top of the screen (menu options for audio midi setup) and click AUDIO which allows you to then open AGGREGATE DEVICE EDITOR.
3.Hit + to add new aggregate device. Select a check by built-in input, built in output, and your mic. Set the clock for built in output, not the mic. Save changes and exit/ close audio midi setup.
4.*Restart the computer.*
5.I left the mic plugged in I think during the restart, but I may have plugged it back in after restart. I again made sure it was working in apple system preferences.
6.Open logic. Select preferences/audio. The AGGREGATE DEVICE should now be available as an input option. Select and save changes.
7.Go back to your project. Your mic should work on an audio track. I didn't have to do anything to the track input selector- it just worked and it has worked consistently even though I have disconnected and reconnected several times!
SUCCESS!!

Not sure why such a great program would not have a simpler option for using a usb mic.

Mic won't work with Skype on Windows installed using BootCamp Assistant?

I recently purchased a 17" MacBook Pro in Australia. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate and updates as well using BootCamp Assistant. Everything works fine in Windows except when I downloaded and logged in to Skype and video-called one of my friends.
I could see my friend and he could see me, but we couldn't hear each other. I beleive there is a problem with the built-in mic, which Windows doesn't recognize or doesn't have the driver for it installed. If it's a driver problem, can anyone tell me which specific driver to download? It'd make things so much easier!
Please help!
Thanks.

Did you download and install the drivers? You need to download the drivers then install them from within Windows. See the Boot Camp Installation Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
Also search these forums for links to the audio drivers from the manufacturers's site.

Mic won't work with Yahoo voice!

Hi all...
YahooIM just upgraded their 3.0 beta for Mac, now to include voice chat. A friend & I both upgraded on the same day. I can hear him AOK, but I get get him to hear me, nor show any input bars on the tiny screen VU meters.
Now here's the difference: He has an Intel iMac w built-in cam and mic while I'm running 10.4.11 on a dual G5 silver tower and an iSight cam. [My cam & mic work great on iChat/AIM, as well as input for iMovieHD, so the cam is working OK]
So, anyone have a similar situation?
Any ideas?
Work arounds?
Fixes?
Thanks!

The voice chat is through the telephone icon. Have you tried using the telephone voice chat to contact your buddy? Did you repair permissions and restart your computer after installing YahooIM? How about reinstalling YahooIM? Remember 3.0 is beta & issues should be expected.
I have been using 3.0 for quite some time and to date have not experiencing any issues using the telephone voice chat.

DMA2100 & DMA220 Freeze when network cord (CAT5) plugged in and won't work at all

I happened to go into the firmware update on both of my extenders yesterday and downloaded the latest for both the DMA2100 & DMA2200. Now today they are both freezing when booting/starting up. I figured out that its the network connection - as soon as it tries to establish a network connection it freezes each unit. On the TV is says "connecting to network" and then the entire unit is frozen up.
Both are hard-wired. If I take the LAN cable out the units will boot fine and I can go thru the menu's. As soon as I plug the CAT5 back in they both freeze up. I verified it also freezes on wireless - tried this on the 2200 and as soon I it tried to connect to my wireless network it also froze up.
What did Linksys do to my units with this firmware upgrade????????? HELP!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

jvigilia, given that, can you try restoring your machine before the MS update and check if your device still encounters the same issue?
This will greatly help isolate the problem.
Do post back for the results. Best of luck.

I want to update to 6.0.1 but it tells me that the plug in, RoboForm, won't work. This has been going on for several weeks now. When will it be available?

see question

Why not contact RoboForm and ask them when it will be made compatible with Firefox again. I understand from another thread that Roboform is also not compatible with Firefox 7. It is only about another week before Firefox 7 will move from Beta to the release channel.

AutoFX Dreamsuite won't work with Photoshop CS3 in Windows 7 64 bit??

I've obviously posted this question with Auto FX tech support, and am awaiting an answer.... however, wondered if anyone here is successfully using Auto FX "Dreamsuite Series" software as a Photoshop plugin in Windows 7... or Windows 7 64 bit OS?
If so, did you have to do any fancy footwork to get it to work? My Auto FX shows up as a filter in the Photoshop / Filter dropdown list... but when I click on it, nothing happens!! I tried the Windows Vista workaround posted on Auto FX's site...but this has no effect.
Thanks for any insight you may offer.

There are a lot of 3rd party filters that don't work in 64 bit mode. Open PS in 32 bit mode and see if it works.

30GB won't work...no matter what :-(

My 30GB black iPod hasn't worked in days, it won't respond. I thought the battery was fully drained so I left it plugged into the computer all night and I wake up to see it still doesn't work. The computer didn't even recognize it, no removable hardware device icon was showing. Just to be on the safe side, I tried the thing two days later (so the battery fully discharges) on my laptop and still no response what so ever. The thing isn't on hold, and I've ran through the most the common 5Rs of solving iPod issues. The unit is less than 5 months old and has never been dropped, gotten wet, or anything else that would remotely cause harm to it. Any suggestions here?
Dell Inspiron 2200 Windows XP

(Re: Mic won't work no matter what I try!? I figured out the Source - mic thing after your previous message just by playing around a bit. I came to the conclusion that it was the same as accessing in the Windows mixer Playback panel though, so I knew that couldn't be the problem.
On a daily basis, I listen to DSS or WAV files through the A2ZS.
I don't know how to find out the impedance of my mic.
I don't know how to tell if there is an integrated (onboard) soundcard that is still enabled. Here's what shows up in my Sounds & Audio Device Properties: Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device, Creative SB Audigy, Creative Game Port, Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Media Control Devices, Legacy Video Capture Devices, Video Codecs.
Interesting to note that about 2 weeks ago, I used my Camtasia Studio software to make a video and I was able to record my voice through the microphone without a hitch. I've been racking my brain and can't think of anything that changed between now and then.
