Realtek Microphone Problem

Hello,
For some reason I can't get my microphone to work in either front or back panel? It is weird. It all worked before I reinstalled my computer, and after I did it just stopped working. What could be the problem? When I say not working I mean, that the volume control for the mic is blacked out. It is recognised as being plugged in. I have latest software by the way.
Thanks

Used to be in my signature.. hmmm.

  • [solved] Microphone problem, possible unwanted stereo mix.

    I'm user of integrated Integrated audio: Realtek HD Audio ALC 1200 (Mother board: ASUS P5Q)
    Whenever i try to record something from my microphone input, i'll record everything that currently plays at the background (output is being captured with microphone input, no matter what).
    The question is, how to disable this? If i lower capture volume, this stereo mixer volume goes down, too, but therefore it's impossible to record my own voice without yelling.
    I'm using Pulse Audio.
    Is there anyone who is using same audio card and not having same problems?
    I just hope i shouldn't blame my integrated audio card, but my hands.
    Here is a screenshot of my alsamixer settings: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5885 … shotgy.jpg
    EDIT: If you have same audio card and you do (or do not) have any microphone problems, please contact me.
    TL;DR: stereo mixer is always on.
    Solution: if you have 6 pins on motherboard, try to use orange/black instead of green for audio out (headphones). No idea what's the problem with green one.
    ^ works for me.

    You say you are using pulseaudio. If I am not mistaken, the settings you change in alsamixer won't affect pulesauido (at least not in my case)
    Have you installed and run pavucontrol to look at the "Input" Settings? This is the mixer for PulseAudio
    After little discussion at alsa-project.org I believe my audio card is just "not really good" and this stereo mixer is possible to hear, if output volume is 66+ and capture 33++, i just switched to values above. (it's almost silent with those)
    So I can now use microphone without heavy stereo mixing. But, need to find anyone else with same audio card experiencing same problems. If someone has the same audio card, and is (isn't) experiencing same problems please contact me.
    Used pavucontrol to confirm volume settings.

  • B520 Built-in Microphone Problem

    We recently got a B520 77452MU All In One.  It includes a built-in webcam & microphone, and since right out of the box the microphone has recorded horribly.  It has very high background noise, kind of like a whirring static-y fan, so high that one might say the talking is actually the "background" noise.  We've tried updating the drivers and adjusting the microphone settings in the sound section of the control panel.  After troubleshooting extensively with the warranty tech support, they said it wasn't a normal problem and had us ship it in to try replacing the microphone (the particular model # we bought was not available to order by the time we received ours - it took a month to ship - so the sales rep couldn't just exchange it). That did not resolve the poor recording quality, even though the repair slip said the webcam/mic unit was replaced and passed the test, so we're thinking this must really be a normal weakness of the system.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Has anyone figured out a solution?
    We like the features of the computer otherwise, so we're thinking about just buying an external microphone, but it is very annoying to have an "all-in-one computer" mounted to our wall with accessories hanging off it because it isn't really "all-in-one".

    I have more info on my own situation (with a USB connected head set.) Net: the Rosetta Stone suggestions seem to have worked. I've listed the steps they supplied for Windows 7. I made two changes from what I had been recently using, highlighted in red under "Editorial Comments" in steps 9 and 12. That combination seemed to stop the background noise (feedback from a device?) in my talking during voice recognition. 
    I realize this doesn't directly address the original post about "B520 Built-in Microphone Problem" since i wasn't doing the same thing. The original symptom, though, seemed to be related.
    The suggested steps with a USB headset for voice recognition with my annotations:
    1. Plug your headset into an available USB-Port.
    2. Open the Start menu.
    3. Click on the Control Panel.
    start menu
    4. If you're viewing the Control Panel by Category, click Hardware and Sound and then Sound. If you're viewing by Large or Small icons, click Sound.
    open sound menu
    5. On the Playback tab, highlight your device by clicking on it. Your device may be listed as C-Media USB Audio Device, USB VoIP Device or Other USB Device. (Editorial comment: my only USB choice was "USB VoIP Device", which was what I was already using.)
    6. Click the Set Default button. If there's a green checkmark next to your preferred device, it's already set as the Default Device.
    Set Default
    7. Click the Properties button.
    click properties button
    8. Click the Levels tab.
    9. Adjust the Speakers to 30.   (Editorial comment: mine had been set to 67.)
    10. Click OK.
    11. Click the Recording tab.
    12. Highlight your device by clicking on it. It should have the same name as the device that you selected in the Playback tab.  (Editorial comment:  my microphone highlighted had a different name, "Lenovo USB 2.0 Audio", though I had nothing else audio but my headset plugged into a USB connection. I  highlighted the "USB VoIP Device" name used in step 5.)
    13. Click the Set Default button. If there's a green checkmark next to your preferred device, it's already set as the Default Device.
    14. Click OK.

  • Pavilion G7 1365dx internal microphone problems (skype).

    I just purchased this notebook and when I tried to use Skype, everything works except the other person can't hear me.  Mic is enabled and not muted.  Internal Mic (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC).  System checked for updated drivers, system said drivers are up to date.  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello @Pistaba1975,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how the microphone on your notebook is enabled, but will not record any audio on Skype. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    Are you able to record audio using a different program on your computer? Were you able to record audio from Skype in the past? 
    In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Resolving microphone problems (Windows 8). This should help enable the audio-in when using the microphone.
    Additionally, I also suggest following this resource on Microphone Troubleshooter to ensure that your Skype software is communicating the audio being transmitted to your audio-in device.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • Microphone problem

    Hello. I recently bought my Xperia Z3 compact. Its a great phone..except the awful microphone problem. I bought it a week ago and 3 days ago I made the mistake to update to Android 5.1.1. Before that, I didnt have the problem.Anyway, the problem - when I hold my phone to my ear the other person doesn`t hear me, when I turn it to speaker they hear me perfectly. Sometimes it`s the other way around - speaker doesn`t work, the other person can hear me when I hold it close to my ear (this happens rarely).I tried the Internet fixes, none work. Maybe you can give me some solutions as I asked Sony to give me another Xperia and they told me that it has to go to them 3 times with the same issue.Cheers

     I'm sorry to hear that, you could repair the phone with PCC, if that doesn't work then you will have to contact your local Xperia Care PC Companion (PCC)  Bridge (for Mac)   Alternatives on How to backup Xperias http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355  http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/contactUs/

  • Microphone Problem SB XFI Xtreme Gamer

    & I have a headset that has a microphone. When I plug in the mic, I can't record any sound. I see a red light coming from the port, which leads me to believe that it is set to digital out. How do I change this so it recognizes the analog microphone [email protected]

    *Re: Microphone Problem SB XFI Xtreme GamerK Hi necrochaos,
    I think this is the same problem I had for a while, which had me pulling my hair out until I found the annoyingly simple solution. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
    In the Creative Console Launcher (this is in Game mode, guess it's different for the other two.), open the Mixer tab and then under the slider bar that has "REC"in red, click the little drop down arrow and select microphone. This is all I needed to do I think. Test it with Windows Sound Recorder.
    Also in Settings (very bottom-center of the Creative Console Launcher)I noticed that there's a category called "Digital I/O" and under that Flexijack Mode with the option to select between Digital I/O and Mic/Line-In. It's greyed-out on mine but maybe that'll work for you? Hope that hel
    ps.

  • HP Split x2 Microphone Problems

    Using an HP Split x2 over skype. A variable hissing noise occurs which reaches a point that it drowns out audio, then it will abate and then build back up again. It begins building during pauses in conversation and then begins to slowly diminish as we talk. Have tried moving the tablet to various locations to see if it is interference from other device. Does not sound like traditional feed back. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Thanks!

    Hello Pondering92. I understand you are experiencing microphone problems on Windows 8, when using Skype. Does this issue only occur on Skype, or on other programs? If it only occurs on Skype, try uninstalling and reinstalling the program.
    If it occurs on multiple programs, and you followed all the troubleshooting in this HP document, you could be experiencing faulty hardware. Since the product is in warranty, I would contact HP technical support for servicing.
    You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

  • GT70 2PE Microphone problem / Realtek HD audio

    Hi guys,
    Since yesterday I have a problem. My mic is recording very low sound.
    Both built-in laptop one and the headset (Syberia V2)
    I thought that the thing was broken but after playback with a higher volume I could barely hear what I was saying.
    Just by doing simple things I found out that the microphone is working fine if I uninstall the Realtek HD audio drivers.
    Had an old version, thought that update would fix it but it made no difference.
    So the trouble maker is the Realtek HD audio driver.
    Found some YouTube videos of how it could have possibly be solved but the thing is that in my case the Realtek HD audio Manager interface does not have all the possible options like Device Advanced Settings button.
    Anyone has any advice on what else I could try out?

    could be creative suite laptop comes with that adjust the sound to speakers but it might affecting the mic to so try emptorary turn it off and record and see if sound is same if not and it goes normal then this suite is doing something so it wont work fully.

  • Realtek HD microphone problem.(mic not connected but sends disruption to people)

    I have motherboard 770-C45.
    And while playing online on Steam people can hear disruption even when my mic is not connected.
    Actually i unpluged speakers and run a test on steam and it still showed that a mic was connected.
    I just reinstaled Realtek drivers and still have the same problem.
    The picture below shows mic test on Steam with unpluged microphone:

  • Microphone problem on Windows XP running on Macbook Pro

    I just bought a Macbook Pro with a built-in Realtek HD audio card, and I have a problem using the microphone on the Windows side (I've installed via Bootcamp a Windows XP Home edition service pack 2). For some reason Windows doesn't recognise the microphone at all (although I have no problem with the loudspeakers). I tried downloading the new driver
    Windows 2000, Windows XP/2003(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file) R1.89 2008/3/18 25421k
    from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24& Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and ran the driver,
    but it didn't help. Right now when I'm trying to detect the microphone using the Control Panel wizard an error message comes up, saying that there's an error code 0x80004005
    what should I do?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Microphone problem window 8

    Hi, I have had no problem whatsoever for a year now until 2 days ago when I was asked to upgrade my skype which I did. Since than my microphone is not fonctioning properly. It keeps cutting off when I talk with someone. I have check my setting on skype and on the computer. My microphone is working fine its only on skype that this is happening.

  • Microphone problem with my Inspiron 3521

    Hi,
    I have purchased a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Tag Number<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>. It is to inform you that there is a problem with Microphone. The output of the microphone is very low and blurry. I have done all my best to solve the problem but all in vain.

    You are requested to please help me in this regards.
    Hello Muhammad Umar. This forum is for Dell owners to have a place where we can discuss technical issues with each other. If you are attempting to address a Dell representative, I urge you to contact Dell directly.
    My own advice to you is to first re-install your Realtek audio driver from the Inspiron 3521 downloads page (make sure to select your operating system in the drop down menu).
    If the problem remains, next install the native Windows audio driver. If that also does not fix the problem then you probably have hardware failure of the mic. In that case you should contact tech support (using the above link) and schedule a repair as per your warranty.

  • S10-2 external microphone problem

    Hello!
    My problem is that I can't seem to make my external microphone work on my S10-2.  The microphone can be detected by my laptop (because a pop-up from the taskbar appears indicating this), but I don't know how to switch from the built-in mic to the external mic.  I've tried changing the default voice recording device in the Sounds and Audio Devices section of the Control Panel, but there is no other option other than the Realtek HD Audio Input.  I've also downloaded and installed the audio driver from the Lenovo website already.
    How may I go about this issue?
    Thanks and God bless!
    Solved!

    Sorry for this late update, but the problem was solved when I downloaded and installed an audio driver from this website.
