Realtek HD Audio: Output:OK, Input (Mic): NOT WORKING??!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hi guys,
I am going to tell you and ask for your advice the wierdest thing happens to my 14-month old Pavilion 6300 series:
- The PC has Realtek HD Audio built-in (on-board) and having the latest driver (I downloaded off from realtek.tw, latest is 5.10.0.5874)
- Before I installed that Realtek driver, I had installed Microsoft UAA Bus driver for HD Audio (version 5.10.0.5010)
- I am running Windows XP Professional SP3
When I plug in a headset (with mic of course, for skype), strange things start like this:
1. I can hear the output sound, the jack can detect which plug I plug in
2. But the INPUT (back or front) which is in my case, the MIC, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.... Jeeze, it drives me NUT!!!
3. I have turned on ALL the volume related to "MIC" but to no avail. Even the Recording mic volume is grey-out... really no-hope?
4. I did the Hardware test, it could not detect the mic (no movement from the sound bar)
5. The headset works well on other machine!!!!
Can somebody tell me that the onboard card got a problem and I have to buy another card???
Thanks a lot in advance guys, really
James

now what you can try is can try to test the MotherBoard once and if there is any issue with the onboard card then you have to replace the card.
if there is no issues with the MotherBoard then try entering device manager in safemode and uninstall the drivers once and check if its working.

Realtek HD audio output - almost no mic sound!!!

Hello
I am haveing a big problem with my headset mic after buying my new pc. The mic sound is ALMOST not working useing either skype or MSN messenger chat. Furthermore in MSN the system automaticly turns the mic volume to zero. I have tried uninstalling the realtek sound driver, but can't get anything else 2 work at all!!, someone please help!!!

This may not help, but I had a similar problem with my new MSI K8N Diamond board when I was using the on-board Audigy chip.
There were three checkboxes (all on different screens) that made my microphone not work. One is the "+20db Microphone Boost" that has already been mentioned. The second one is a "Mute Microphone" checkbox. And the third is a "Disable Monitor" that is referring to the microphone.
The +20db boost is a function of the microphone you are using, and your audio chipset. The only way to know if you need that on is by trying it both ways.
The Mute Microphone was where my problem was. With it muted I could still just barely hear microphone input if I virtually shouted into the mike. That sounds like it might be your problem.
The disable monitor is important once you get the other two set right. If you have a speaker system, and you get the microphone working you will probably find yourself in a feedback mode right away. It may not be a problem if all you use is a headset, but if you use speakers you probably want the monitoring set to off.
Now, here's the really bad part. I don't remember where all those settings are located, and they definitely ARE NOT OBVIOUS. I had to search through all kinds of audio property and settings screens until I eventually found them and got them all set right. It was pure luck and trial and error. I have seen some other posts on these forums where they mentioned some of these settings, so you might try a search on "microphone" or something like that.
I have also noticed that now that I have installed a Creative Sound Blaster x-Fi card (and disabled my on-board audio) that some of those settings are now either gone or not located in the same places. So they are apparently a function of whatever version of Windows and software you are using. Even better.
Good Luck!

Audio Output from Mac Pro not working in XP

I'm trying to make the audio line output of the Mac Pro work in XP. the only sound comes from the motherboard or headphones in front of the computer.
Under audio devices say "realtech HD audio device" This is the Apple mac pro?
How do I turn the audio output on?

I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
1. While booted to Windows I uninstalled boot camp
2. Re-installed boot camp from Leopard DVD
3. Installed boot camp update 2.1 (downloaded from Apple support, i know this is for XP only, but I updated anyway.)
4. Downloaded the realtek drivers (high definition audio codecs) from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
5. DO NOT use the Realtek installer to install the drivers...instead extract the contents to a folder.
6. Go to the device manager, locate the High Definition Audio device and updated the drivers from here (point to the folder where you extracted the drivers).
I now have sound out of the rear jack!! Hope this help someone

EMU 0404 - audio technica ADG1 mic not working

Have a E-MU 0404, Windows 7 64 bit. Headphones and audio outs working fine. Need help with mic issue. Mic not working with this headset or my other ones. Mic input ports working, as I tested with a traditional mic with phantom power on. The headset mics do work, tested them with computer inputs.
Also bought and tried a mic preamp with no luck when plugging in the headset mic.
Why won't the 0404 pick up my gaming headphone mics, and what can I do to fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Hmm... you shouln't use those ASIO drivers which are installed by Cubase installer (ASIO MME / ASIO DirectX).
Since I don't know the version of Cubase you're using (a bit different device setup system in each version), I can only suggest you to select the "ASIO E-MU 0x0x | USB" driver (device setup) and then set up the I/Os and MIDI ports. You'll find information on how to do it by reading bundled Cubase guides (paper or PDF) ... if you don't have these guides, you'll get all downloaded from Steinberg's site:

Optical digital audio input does not work

Hi all,
I am trying to record some of my old DCC cassettes onto my imac, however, for some reason the optical digital input does not work.
I have searched everywhere, tried all settings in audio/midi setup.
I did notice that when I connect the digital cable to the output, the build in audio automatically recognizes it, and switches to 'digital output'.
Analog input does work fine. I am running a 3.06 GHz intel core 2 duo with mac os 10.6.8. Digital cables are fine too (can play on my receiver).
Thanks for your help,
Wouter

I share your frustration. I record audio tracks into logic using digital optical recording desks.
I have a phone call appointment with apple tomorrow and will be happy to share any fixes if they find any.

Both internal and USB mics not working

Hi there, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Starting last night, I have been having issues with microphone use on my iBook G4. Neither the internal mic nor my USB headset mic (Altec Lansing AHS302USB) are accepting input.
The internal mic's failure doesn't surprise me, as I have heard about the delicate nature of the wire connecting the internal mic from its position on the display down to the main computer. It's the USB mic that confuses me, since USB mics are what everyone seems to recommend that people use when the internal mic is on the fritz (thanks to other mics not working with Mac due to the line-in thing). Also there is the fact that I have used this headset with this computer for over a year with no significant issues until now, with both mics simultaneously failing.
There doesn't seem to be a problem with the headset's wires; I am still able to hear audio through the headphones quite well, and when I load my audio recording program (Audio In) and Sound Preferences, I can see the occasional blip of sound recognition when I move the USB adapter portion around in the port. These blips even occur when the pink microphone jack and headphones jack are unplugged from the adapter, so this suggests to me that the problem lies not with the wires, but somewhere in the USB adapter, port, or the computer itself.
I'm leaning toward the computer itself, since it just seems odd that both mics would just happen to stop working at the same time. That and the fact that audio output still works through the headset, and the USB ports work fine for other USB devices such as my external drive and iPod.
I have tried restarting, resetting the PRAM, and repairing permissions with Disk Utility. Nothing's working so far.
Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong?
For reference's sake, I took a recording of the sound that results from jiggling the USB headset adapter in the port. It's very quiet, so you may need to turn up the volume a little bit to hear it. Again, these are the ONLY sounds that the mic is able to pick up currently.

iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10) 768 MB RAM, 37.7 GB hard disk

Just to chime in here - I wonder if it's down to the software: I've recently updated to 10.4.10, and the internal mic seems to have stopped working.
One positive effect of the change to 10.4.10 is that my Griffin iMic no longer flips to 8-bit, 22khz recording when I plug it in.
Having said that, I really like to get my internal mic back up and running again.

Internal mic not working after updating to 10.10.1

After updating to 10.10.1 (from 10.10) on my MacBook pro 2010 (15” screen) the internal mic is not working when using FaceTime (or Skype) and so the person on the other end of the video/audio call is unable to hear me. On my end there is a static/crackly sound during FaceTime (or Skype) connecting since the update which I believe is related to the mic problem (no sound input on Mac during FaceTime/Skype).
HELP!!!

I had exactly this same issue and and this workaround from Paul on another thread (Internal Mic not working for phone calls in Yosemite ) solved it :
Make sure FaceTime App is not running
Open Terminal
type sudo killall coreaudiod
Press Return
Enter your computer's admin PW

Boot camp - internal mic not working

I've spent hours reviewing various forums and have tried all suggestions I've found, to no avail. That said, I'll detail my steps here in the hope that someone can help, or that I can help someone else, or at least drive someone else nuts.
This is a 20" iMac (early 2008) running Snow Leopard + Window 7 Professional w/ Boot Camp 3.1 drivers (you know, the ones that fully support Windows 7).
By default (that is, without Boot Camp drivers installed), Windows recognizes a "High Definition Audio Device." Sound doesn't work, but the internal mic does work, as evidenced by the fact that speaking or tapping on the top of the computer results in movement of the green bars that appear in the Recording Devices dialogue.
After installing the Boot Camp drivers (or any more recent version of the Realtek drivers, including 2.41 that became available today), the "High Definition Audio Device" becomes "Realtek High Definition Audio." Sound works (poorly compared to OS X, but **** at least something comes out), but the microphone does not. In the Recording Devices dialogue, speaking, tapping, yelling, and swearing doesn't register per the green bars.
I've reviewed many a post, and have tried the following:
1. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, updated to the Realtek driver by browsing to the files from Device Manager instead of running Setup, reboot. This installs the driver, doesn't install Realtek HD Audio Manager, sound = yes, mic = no. Crap.
2. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, installed the Realtek driver by running Setup, reboot. Sound = yes, mic = no. Crap crap.
3. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, installed the Realtek driver by running Setup as Administrator, reboot. Sound = yes, mic = no. Crap crappity crap.
4. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, installed the Realtek driver by running Setup in Vista compatibility mode, reboot. Sound = yes, mic = no. Crap crappity crap crap.
So I'm certain both the microphone and speaker hardware work. The Microsoft driver gets me mic but no sound, and the Realtek driver gets me sound but no mic.
Any helpful thoughts and comments are MUCH appreciated, and for the love of God if you're going to jump in with "what are you doing running Windows 7 on a Mac anyways" please save it.
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem!!! When is apple going to fix the drivers???!!!

X220 Internal Mic not working

I had just get a new X220 in recent days.
And I found the internal mic not working, I can not record any sound through Sound Record or Skype.
I had tried all the following methods, but the mic still can not working. Anyone cound give me some suggestion ?
1) update sound card driver to 8.32.23.2
2) Fn+F6, change between "only my voice" or "Multiple voice"
4) UnInstall source card driver and use microsoft generic driver
3) The method in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-internal-mic-problem/td-p/435551/page/..., operate like :
Start -> control Panel -> Sound
Click on the "Recording" tab
Click Internal Microphone to highlight it
Click Properties
Click the "Advanced" tab
Uncheck "Enable audio enhancements"
Finally, click the "Levels" tab and turn Microphone Boost to 0dB. (if you don't do this the noise will be even louder than before).
Click apply.

hey kitewind,
welcome to the forums and since you have tested the microphone using microsoft generic drivers and i'm guessing it did not work; therefore the best action for you right now is to contact our tech support group via

IPhone 2G voice mic not working

Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….

I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
I just had Apple take a look at it.
They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
Didn't work.
Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one.

HDMI and PC inputs do not work on my 37AV502R LCD TV

HDMI inputs and PC inputs do not work consistently
my Apple TV (HDMI) and computers 2 on HDMI, 1 on PC, display just fine n the TV but after a while the TV goes blank,
the time is not consistent sometime a few minutes, sometimes a few hours,
but every time, after the TV goes blank there is nothing I can do, the TV just stays blank, if I unplug and turn back on the TV displays the image for a split second and goes bank again,
I thought it might be an overheating thing, however sometimes the PC input will stop working but the HDMI input (either one) will work fine,
has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
A.

I'm having the same issue. As soon as I connect it to VGA or HDMI, it goes into a cycle of flashing on-and-off. A guy on youtube had the same problem (posted a video identical to my problem) and reportedly fixed it with a firmware update.
The problem: the US website doesn't have a firmware download. The canadian website does, but the update is from 4/2009, and the manufactured date on the back of my TV is 5/2009. (I also tried the update, but it didn't fix the problem).
When I call Toshiba to ask about the firmware update, after they confirm I am out of warranty, their automated system keeps hanging up on me. So frustrating.

Hello,
I think your problem is very similiar to a problem that I had been suffering from a few days ago.
I think that the below code should solve your problem:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
