Problems with microphone Iphone5c?

I have had 4 iphone5c's trouble with the microphones on each one. I am about to return the 4th one. I do not want another replacement I want another model one without these problems. What are my legal rights? Can anyone help me with this?

Problems with microphone sound in iChat

Hello Ralph,
(I already thought I sent this but I didn't see it as a new topic, so I am trying again). I'm new to this discussion thing, it's my first time so I hope I've submitted this correctly.
I have similar, but extended and more complicated problems with "microphone sound in iChat". (Sorry, this email is a bit lenghty becuase I have already done a lot of my homework on trouble shooting this.)
I began by using iChat with a high impedance microphone (from an old 1970'scassette player) PLUGGED DIERCTLY IN THE THE MICROPHONE INPUT on the back of my G4 tower. (I DO NOT have a video camera). My Mom in Canada can hear me okay on it, only if I "eat" the microphone. (My Mom DOES have a video camera).
SO I BOUGHT AN iMic. I also bought a new condenser mic to go with my new iMic. I plugged iMic in and adjusted the sound preferences selection. I switched the iMic to "Mic". It did not work. The old cassette mic did not work at all with iMic either. My Mom could not hear me, and my "VU METER bar levels" on my iChat were not registering. (If I plug the condenser mic directly into the tower, Mom can hear me only if I "eat" the condenser microphone).
Next, with iMic, I wanted to try my Shure 58 microphone instead. My friend (who is an audio tech) made me a 1/8" to XLR (sheilded) cable. I made sure I had adjusted the sound preferences and switched the iMic to "Mic". The Shure 58 did not work with iMic. It also did not work plugging directly into the tower.
Next, with iMic, I wanted to try my "Plantronics telephone headset". My friend (the audio tech) then made me a 1/8"male to 1/8"mini feamle (sheilded) cable. My headset did not work with iMic. It also did not work plugging directly into the tower.
My friend, the audio tech, then made me second cable 1/8"male to 1/8"female (sheilded) cable. This cable I had him make 50 feet long so I could move to other areas in my home while audio chatting - so I don't have to be trapped in my office while talking. We ran the cable from iMic to the Old cassette mic and the new condenser mic. They did not work with iMic.
We also tried plugging the new 50ft cable directly into the back of the G4 Tower and it worked with the old cassette mic and the new condenser mic, BUT the volume was reduced and there was a loud baseball game being broadcast through the cable - according to my Mom. I could not hear anything from my end - not my own voice and not the baseball game! IS THERE A WAY FOR ME TO MONITOR (actually hear) THE SOUND THAT SHOULD BE COMING THROUGH THE MIC?
I have tried to trouble shoot these issues on line, but can't seem to find the right solutions. In one of your discussions I read that you suggested to select the iChat preference for Video and select microphone. I CANNOT SEE THE FULL WINDOW UNDER iChat Video Preferences!!!! All I can see is the top half of a large empty box that says "There is no camera attached to this computer". (That's because I have no camera, but I DO HAVE a microphone).
I also found some support about adjusting microphone levels using iMovie. I do not have iMovie on my Mac.
Yes, I have already adjusted the AUDIO MIDI SETUP settings.
My audio tech friend and I are both baffled. iMic is useless to me so far - perhaps you can help to get me up and chatting properly? Do I really need iMovie and/or a video camera to fix this???
BY THE WAY: When I plug my external speakers into iMic and select iMic in preferences for output, my speakers and sound is very inferior to the using the speaker terminal on my tower. i Mic is supposed to better???????
Thanking you for your help in advance,
Marlene

Hi Ralph,
A funny thing just happened...
The iChat prefernce window for "VIDEO" finally opened (!!) all the way, so for the FIRST TIME EVER and I was able to see the microphone setting at the bottom of the window. (Because I have NO CAMERA, the window would never fully open before during the 100 or so times I tried to get it to open before. This must've been a fluke because now it won't fully open again).
While it was open I set the microphone setting to iMic, plugged my condenser mic into iMic and IT WORKED. Then I tried the long (baseball game) extension cord in the iMic (attached to the condenser mic) and IT WORKED TOO - with NO BASEBALL GAME!
I still have to have the condenser mic right up to my mouth, which shouldn't be - but considering I have spent a few weeks trying to troubleshoot this, "eating the mic" is only a minor annoyance at this point.
I just plugged my speakers into iMic and THEY WORK GREAT!
SO ALL MY PROBLEMS WERE BECAUSE: I could not set the microphone under Video in iChat preferences because the VIDEO PREFERENCE WINDOW DOES NOT FULLY OPEN WITHOUT A CAMERA ATTACHED. If it hadn't opened by fluke my iMic would still not be working.
I guess I'm all set now. Unless you have a suggestion why the condenser mic isn't picking up my voice from other than right by my mouth? It should be able to be a foot or two away at least.
Thanks Ralph,
Marlene

Problem with microphone on my iPad 2

Problem with microphone, Audigy 2, and a Dell (not the same problem as the 8 million other topi

Hello,?I recently reformatted my hard dri've and had to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, etc. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, and an Audigy 2 sound card. My microphone worked fine before the reformat and then it was broken. Its not that it wasn't picking up my voice (I have read that the typical problem with Dell computers and microphones was that you had to almost scream into the microphone to get it to hear anything). When I tried to record something, it would record what was coming out of my speakers, and not what I was saying (no matter how hard I yelled). So, when I was playing Counterstrike, everybody heard my gun shooting and grenades exploding etc. instead of my voice (which was what was coming out of my headphones). So I downloaded the ISO available here and through some complicated, random process of uninstalling and reinstalling the various sound drivers I found on the internet, I managed to get my microphone to work perfectly. I changed some settings before I went to bed on Sunday night, and when I tried to use my microphone on Monday it didn't work again (and I had the same problem as before).
So I reformatted again and am trying to figure out what order I installed and uninstalled etc.
So my question is, has anyone else has this specific problem (when attempting to record it records what comes out of the speakers/headphones and not what is being said into the microphone) and remembers how to fix it's? What I did was really bizarre, something like downloading Dell drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, downloading Creative drivers, installing them, installing Dell drivers on top of them, uninstalling both, downloading the ISO, reinstall the Creative drivers, install the files from the ISO, or something like that. Obviously that includes a lot more steps than are needed and because part 3 of the ISO is currently down (I don't have a CD burner so had to redownload the whole thing (I just used a CD emulator last time)) I can't work on it right now :/

Actually, it's not a problem but a setting. On surround mixer .rec source setting --> when you set it to What U Hear everything you hear becomes recorded --> for microphone recording set it to microphone (also set "monitoring while recording" on/off).

what kind of problem do you have with the microphone?
You may want to take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802 since its the iphone hardware troubleshooting page.
It could just be a hardware problem. You may need to get it in to an apple store.

Problem with microphone fading in and out

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
I have been having problems with my Skype audio (I can hear callers but they can't hear me). I purchased a new Logitech H390 USB headset today and have checked that it is all working, I've been through all the checks that Skype suggest and I'm still having the same problem. Echo test is fine, trying the microphone on other recording devices is fine but when I'm actually on a call, the microphone seems to fade in and out. Hope someone can help me - I'm a virtual receptionist and need this problem sorted ASAP.
Thanks in advance

Xfi Xtreme Audio Problems with Microphone and other things NEED HELP!!!!

? Alright i have exhausted my search for an answer for my problems.... This is a last resort now!
Im running Windows 7
st Problem: I was having problems with my microphone where people heard themselves through my microphone. Ok well i have a creative Fatility series headset with a supposed noise canceling mic. So last night i was like screw it imma put in the install disk for my sound card Xfi Xtreme Audio.
This Arose my 2nd Problem: Now that the drivers were installed and i finaly got a volume panel it says im running Windows Vista. The name next to my card says Sound Blast X-Fi Xtreme Audio (Vista). Alright so i am running windows 7.... What the heck! Next thing is my microphone doesnt even work! This is just awsome btw and im pretty sure the volume panel isnt even the way it was when i was on an XP system.
So if anyone has a fix to this problem let me know it would be great!

A quick update i was able to fix Problem 2, i had to get rid of what i installed so im just back to Problem . I dont have the VOlume Panel anymore but my microphone still seems to make it so that people can hear themselves....

HP note Book G70-460 US Problem with microphone Windows Vista

Hi I have an HP note Book G70-460 US with Windows Vista.
The Built in Microphone is
Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 (built in).
I have problem with it. I go to control panel and check the driver, the driver is updated and it does not say it has any problems.
However, I test it and it does not get any voice. I tried Yahoo messenger, google talk to test my audio all say we cant hear yoir voice.
How can it be disconnected while windows show it is fixed.
If I buy an external microphone like desk top microphone or the ones with headphone, which type can I buy? would that fix it?
Where is the internal microphone physically located? Does it have a card? Is it combined with sound card or separate? Is the card between the hinges of the laptop? So it might be broken? Is it wired through hinges? Someone told me it is like that and the wire gwets disconnected after a while. So no hope?
I tried to restore my windows to previous date but regardless which dates i chose it after it restarted it said there was a problem with your restoring so windows wrere not restored to previous date!
I thank you in advance

Problems with microphone [Solv

I have a X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Low Profile-PCI card with headphones, and a standalone mic plugged into it.At first I had problems with this buzz sound while in "Entertainment Mode". This was pretty annoying. Then I switched to Gaming Mode, seemed to work out fine for a while. But after switching back and forth between Gaming Mode and Entertainment Mode the mic started catching up sounds from both the modes. So I decided to disable all recording devices, and still it does'nt help? I was a bit puzzled about this as I would expect the mic to be disabled/muted after doing this. [img"]http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/909/recordingdevicesqz3.jpg">?I've also tried to right click the the mic in the list of recording devices while it was enabled, and adjusted the slider for "Levels" as I thought this might be the volume control for the mic. But apparantly this has no effect at all. I would like to know:?What do I have to do too mute the mic completely in "Entertainment Mode"?I also want the mic not to playback my voice over the headphones, why would I like to hear myself speak? This worked perfectly fine?with my webcam mic while using my onboard soundcard. Only solution I have for now is to unplug the mic from the soundcard.

IPhone 3G S - Problems With Microphone on Headphone Cable

Tried two different companies. Both products returned. Keeps activating voice feature on own, leaving music every minute or two (possessed mode), and does not work VERY WELL when using voice commands. < 10%. Love the idea of not taking headphones off to answer calls. Dealt with staff in Apple Store Vancouver. Problem with 3G S, OS 3 or both? This great feature and available products seem to work well with 3G model. Anyone else have this problem? What a great feature... just need it to work.

Problem with microphone

Toshiba satellite A215-S5849
I disabled the microphone and now can't get it to work. I initially right-clicked on the speaker icon, seledted the only microhone listed (Realtec), and disabled the microphone. Now I cannot enable it again. The error message is "an audio recording device cannot be found". Do I need to reinstall a driver? If so, where do I find the correct one.
Assuming I can enable it again, how to I get a set of headphones that came with Dragon Naturally Spreking, to work with this computer. The Dragon troubleshooting guide suggested turning off the installed microphone. That's how I ended up with this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Apparently you need to reinstall the driver, Nancy.

Thinkpad X201 - problem with microphone and speakers

Hi,
My thinkpad X201 is a professional computer set up with Windows XP. Although I cannot check, I am reasonably sure that the computer was installed with the latest drivers and is regularly updated to the latest SP and patches.
My problem is the following: in Volume Control window, when both the general "Volume Control" and "Mic in Volume" are un-muted and maxed-up, a feedback loop quickly builds. When I decrease the volumes of both to a lower values, I can actually hear myself speak with a slight delay. The same phenomenon can be heard if I use the internal mic or if I plug in a microphone.
So, it seems that the (internal or external) mic input is constantly sent to the speakers. This makes any recording with this computer very painful.
Did anybody experience this problem? Is there a solution?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
