Re: Satellite Pro L500-1PU - internal microphone does not work

I have an L500 -1PU Toshiba, running on 32 bit Windows 7,
The webcam is working wonderfully but the internal microphone is not working properly.
I had an external microphone so i hadn't noticed this problem when i got on skype, but i've recently discovered that when using the webcam the person on the other end can hear faint noises from my computer when i'm playing music or watching a video clip.
How can i solve this and get my microphone working properly such that i can control the volume and actually get full service from my otherwise decent notebook?
Thanks

Hi
Possibly this Toshiba FAQ could help you:
+Whistling sound on the Satellite L500+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UB0001R01.htm
Its a matter of the settings.
This issue occurs if the microphone volume in the speakers properties is enabled.
After disabling this point the issue with acoustic feedback does not appear anymore.
Hope this helps!

  • Recently installed Windows 7 on Pavilion dv6748us - internal microphone does not work

    I have been searching the web extensively, without success, to find how to resolve this issue.
    I recently installed Windows 7, 32 bit, on my wife's HP Pavilion dv6748us laptop. Now her internal microphone does not work.
    Have gotten some "roadside" advice to use a Windows Vista driver; Have no idea what the driver is or how to get it.
    Have found some information about uninstalling realtek audio driver and reinstalling an older version; Have no idea on this one either.
    Would really appreciate a definitive answer with a positive result.
    Thanks for all help.
    The drivers for the laptop are located here. select Vista and Driver-audio. The Vista driver should work.  You can uninstall the driver from within the Device manager. Start --> type devmgmt.msc and the device manager will open. Locate the HD audio device and right-click it and update the driver.
    After that is done go to Control Panel and Sound and the recording tab up top.  Check to see if the microphone is grayed out. (not grayed out means driver is properly installed). The microphone should also have a green checkmark next to it.  It is now a matter of selecting the microphone then selecting Properties to enable the microphone and then  test and adjust the input level. Look at the tabs (listen,levels and advanced).
    Had you considered trying Windows update or the Realtec website as a drivers source?

    Hi:
    Looking at your system information you could have one of two possible audio cards:
    Conexant HD audio or the RealTek HD Audio
    The fact that you couldn't install the RealTek HD audio driver indicates to me that you don't have a RealTek audio card. Check your device manager and look at your sound card and check to make sure which audio card you have.
    Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Conexant audio card:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Realtek audio card:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    If you in fact have the Realtek audio card, I would download and install the latest, greatest HD driver directly from the RealTek site:
    Accept the agreement, download and install the first one on the list. Maybe it has been updated to fix the issue you are experiencing.

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
    I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
    I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
    In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

  • Satellite Pro L20-212 - USB2.0 does not work

    Hi,
    I own a *Satellite Pro L20-212*, *Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work*. I can't see anything about USB2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the attached USB2.0 devices is at the USB1.1 level.
    I don't know which information is needed to help me out with this problem because it should normally work on my notebook (and I know that the notebook has USB2.0 ports).
    Do I have to install a special driver in order to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my notebook which I have to enable?
    Thank you very much,
    Frank

    Hi
    +Fact is that the notebooks hardware is ok and it seems that you only need to install some MS updates and maybe a chipset driver.+
    True.
    +But lets begin with the basics? as I??m not mistaken; the Satellite Pro L20 belongs to the PSL2YE. Therefore you have to choose this series number if you download the drivers.+
    That's what I did.
    +On the Toshiba European driver page you will find the Intel Chip Set Utility. Please install it firstly. Do you have an ATI card? If yes install the graphic driver from the Toshiba page because this driver contains the chipset driver for the units with ATI graphic card!!!+
    I have an ATI card and I installed the driver from the Toshiba page which includes the chipset driver. That's the first driver I installed on my notebook.
    +Secondly you will find the Quick Fix Engineering on the Toshiba page. These are the MS updates which must be installed!!!+
    Every single update of Microsoft for Windows XP is installed, so this shouldn't be the problem
    +Then the USB ports should be correctly recognized in the device manager and should work.+
    USB is recognized, but not as USB 2.0 :-(
    +By the way; you should test the USB ports with different external USB devices to ensure that it??s not a USB device malfunction?+
    I did that, too. And I used the same decives on Ubuntu to test the USB 2.0 function. And everything worked perfectly.
    That's tricky. I don't have the slightest idea what I can do now. The hardware works, the drivers are correct, but it still doesn't work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
    But thank you very much Gipsyman!

  • Microphone does not work in Facetime

    Hi
    I read other posts and in Maverik I didn't find simmilar problem, for most people their microphone does not work after few minutes, but in my case, microphone does not work at all in Facetime, so I can hear the other end, but they can not hear me! This happened after updating Mavericks.
    My Mac specs:
    Macbook Pro 2013
    OSx 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
    things I already tested:
    I tried to use headphone and without headphone, but it didn't make any difference
    Microphone works fine in Skype and other softwares (Audacity, YahooMessenger, etc.)
    Tried with WiFi and with Ethernet cable
    Internet speed is 2.3MBps
    Router's firewall does not have any restriction for certain ports
    Tried turning facetime Off and On
    Tried to call iPhone 5s, iPad2 and MacBook Pro each in different network and different countries!
    ... and finally searching internet for hours (which obviously came up with nothing)
    I'll be thankful if somebody help me through, all suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate to post.

    Same issue here....
    8-core Mac Pro, Lion, Original External iSight camera connected via FireWire 400 through the FireWire jack on the 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    Audio and video work fine using iChat and making video clips through any/all apps.
    However, using FaceTime.....incoming audio and video are fine, outgoing video is fine, but outgoing audio is missing.  Nobady can hear me.
    Sorry guys...you can't doll this one up or spin it in any other direction......it's a bug pure and simple.
    Feel free to fix it whilst you're dealing with all the other problems that Lion has.

  • My microphone does not work. pavillion dv7-1129wm running windos7

    I don't know if this is related: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2160988&tstart=660]
    It's a Skype problem. The program automatically selects the DIGITAL input. You need to change it to the RealTex internal microphone.
    From Skype, go into Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings and make sure the microphone is selected instead of the digital input.
    I think it would also help to verify the microphone is working at all. I don't have experience with external microphones so you'll have to wait for other suggestions as to that, unless you can do it yourself.

  • Bought iphone4 and the microphone does not work only if we use in speak mode. How is it possible to fix

    I bought two  iphone4 in Miami and one of them appared a problem that the microphone does not work in normal call only if i use the speak mode. I am living in Manaus - Amazonas - Brazil and we do not have an apple store to complain it.
    Question.
    How is it possible to fix this problem ?
    Maria Filomena Kimura

    Unfortunately, the warranty is NOT international. You will have to send the defective phone to someone in the U.S. and ask them to take it into the Apple Store for replacement, then have them ship it back to you. Apple will not accept the International shipment, nor will they ship a replacement phone out of the country where it has warranty coverage.
    There are 4 carriers in Brazil who sell the iPhone, including one which sells it completely unlocked. You probably would have been better off to purchase them there if that's where you live.

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

  • [XP64] Microphone does not work in WinXP 64

    Hi,In Windows XP 64bit my microphone does not work, tried it in Ventrilo 2., Skype and even in the Windows Recorder. The computer don't detect any sound. Offcourse?I have selected the microphone in the recordering section in the Windows volume panel and the volume at maxium. Also in the volume panel under playback the microphone is not mute, set to max volume. I have also installed WinXP 32bits and here it works OK with exactly the same settings. Thats why I think it is because of my Soundcard driver, I have installed the latest driver from this site. I have a SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatality. Is there anyone with a X-Fi soundcard with the same problem or anyone where the microphone works in WinXP 64bit's Or is it a known problem?Please help me

    Hi Theicewarrior,?Creative support has been aware of this issue for quite some time (6+ months, maybe even a year). The 4GB+?RAM driver/addressing issues are not a priority or they would have been addressed quite some time ago.
    Presumably this is due to functional Vista drivers for the masses being a higher priority than the relati'vely few of us with 4GB+ RAM and an X-Fi.
    While the X-Fi?is a great card, my only wish was that the vendor was forthright about this product not functioning with certain configurations. It is my feeling that?making an effort to help?customers choose?products that will work with their configurations would result in satisfied and repeat customers?and a better bottom line?as opposed to?eeking a few extra dollars out of a slightly larger customer base and?who are then left unsatisfied with a product and unwilling to buy a company's products in the future.Message Edited by Foddan on 07-9-20070:45 AM

  • My microphone does not work on calls on my iPhone 4

    Don't ask me what has happened and I have been through all of the troubleshooting that I can on my own. 
    I have no clue how to get a hold of a LIVE AT&T person or APPLE person.
    The problem is my microphone does not work when I use the telephone, whether I make the call or someone calls me.  It is NOT the MUTE button.  And yes, I have already rebooted my iPhone about 5 times now.  Has not fixed it either.
    But the microphone DOES work as I was able to record a new voicemail greeting to let people know my phone isn't working.
    So, they could call me all day long but they won't hear me, so who do I call using my landline (thankfully I kept it).
    It is the day after Thanksgiving and I would be a fool to head over to the Apple Store or the AT&T Store....
    Thank-you,
    Marcia

    Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
    There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
    Take a look at this Apple document for more information -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

  • Microphone does not work after restarting computer

    I just received the Creative Xmod soundcard yesterday after using an Icemat siberia usb headset sound card for a couple months. The sound is a lot better with the creative soundcard however, if I restart my computer and go back into ventrilo, my microphone does not work. It doesnt make any sound when I talk into it (almost as if it muted itself) but it hasnt. I check my sound settings and everything is the way it should be.....but the mic isnt producing any sound. It is not my headphones that is causing the problem because I have never had this problem with my old icemat soundcard. I am currently using :
    Sennheiser PC350 headset
    Windows XP Home Edition
    The newest version of Ventrilo

    That is how I have ventrilo setup. A friend of mine said I should Mux set to Record Control, but it only gives me the option for Wave In =/

  • After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

    After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out.  There is no function at all.

    Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo.  It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits.  If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem.  At least it did for me.  I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.
