Remote and mic not working

I got a earpods with remote and mic for my iPod touch quite while ago,
it stopped working a couple of months ago, how can I fix this!

First see if the earphones/mic/remote work with another device or if a know working one works with your iPod.
If the iPod is the problem:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

HT3310 Can't get remote and mic to work at all with my iPad. Anyone else having this problem?

Can't get EarPods remote and mic to work with my iPad 3. Anyone else having this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?

I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result.
What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system.

Satego x200-21u - Remote and HDMI not work on Windows 7

Hey
I have a problem with win7 and the remote that was delivered with my notebook when i bought it
I installed all drivers from the toshiba homepage for win7. I also installed some of the winvista driver, like the webcam- and the touchpad drivers.
The only two things, not working are the remote and the HDMI-Sound output.
my remote doesnt work with win7. and if i connect my notebook to my flat-tv via HDMI-Cable i only see the picture but hear no sound.
I changed also the settings in the soundoptions in win7 from default to Digitalaudio (HDMI) but it doesnt work anyways..
can someone tell me which drivers i need to install these two or what i have to do, to make my remote and the HDMI output work?
thanks alot

Hi mate,
This is really strange to say because this notebook is a little bit older and therefore there is no official Windows 7 support I think...
Do you have yellow exclamation marks in device manager at the moment?
For HDMI I think chipset, display and sound driver should be installed. Maybe you can get one on the Intel page directly.
Make also sure that the newest BIOS version is installed on your notebook.

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.

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.

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration. However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
Hope that helps.

How does Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic(MD827ZM/A) work with iPod 3rd Generation

I have recently bought EarPods With remote and mic (MD827ZM/A) for my old iPod shuffle (3rd generation) Software V 1.1, capacity 2GB
but these EarPods doesn't seems like working with my iPod, any possible solution ?

You can also get an "adapter," that has compatible remote control buttons. There are several such products, for example

You can then connect the any standard headphones to the adapter, including Apple EarPods.

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Headset with mic not working on Mac Mini

I have a 5 year old Mini and a brand new one (haven't hooked up the new one because I have to take it to the Apple store to get the data migrated, which BTW Apple now charges $99 for, they didn't before) My problem is getting the mic to work. I am almost positive the old one does not have a built in mic, does anyone know if the new one has one? I have a headset with both the earphones and the mic that I cannot get to work. There are two jacks on the back, one for input one for output. Neither headset mic is working. I even bought an adapter with two jacks and tried that, but it doesn't work. The output works both ways, it is just the mic I can't get to work. (Rosetta Stone software) Couldn't get much help from the Apple Tech support line. Anyone have any ideas?

Ge a headphone/mic combo like used on a phone:
How to use Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic with your Mac - Apple Support
Also, you can get and some headsets (earphones and mic with separate plugs) cme with an adopter which combines the two plugs into one plug that will work with the Mac and phones.

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.

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

Can't get Headphone and Mic to work with Skype

Hello, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro and I am running OS 10.8.3. I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result. I finally phoned Skype support and they told me that there are some registry settings that are corrupted and that they could install the proper ones on my MBP for $149.99. I told them I did not want to spend that kind of money but I am curious if anybody else is having that issue and if anybody has a solution. Is it true that my registry values could be corrupted causing this issue. If I start up Parallels and open Skype in Windows 7 I have no issues whatsoever using the headphone. It works every time but I cannot get it to work on the Mac platform. I would appreciate any advice anybody might have. Many thanks in advance.

Using Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic on my Macbook

Is it possible to use the remote to control volume on my macbook? I know the mic works but I can't get the remote to. Is it even possible to use the remote?

I have a unibody Macbook with OSX 10.6.1 and it works with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic. However, whenever I plug them in to the Macbook it takes up to 10 seconds for the volume and tracking controls to start working on the earphone remote. Also, if there is music playing in iTunes, the audio drops out for about the same amount of time. The hardware buttons on the Macbook also stop functioning during this time. The same behavior occurs when unplugging the earphones.
Basically, it seems like the Macbook is extremely slow when adding / removing the earphones as an audio control device.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Thanks!

Another FPN Thread: Remote role assignment not working

Hi all,
We have successfully implemented FPN for use in our ESS and BW environment and we are experiencing very little problems with it. We now want to start implementing it for our eRecruitment and SRM systems (as producers). For some reason we are not able to use the Remote Role Assignement functionality.
We have set up trust for the systems and use SSO.
Connection test for the producer is successfull.
We can see the Producer content in the pcd on the consumer.
Server times are the same.
As far as I know I have correctly set permissions on producer and consumer.
Possible cause: We are in the process of upgrading our consumer Portal to NW 7.0 SPS15 and have encountered some problems. The system is partially upgraded, so some components are SP15 and some others are still SP13. This is currently under investigation by SAP. Can this be an issue as our producer portals all are still on SP13?
I hope to hear from you soon. Please ask if you need any screenshots. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Hi Jan,
if remote role assignment not works, you can also use remote delta links. I only work with remote delta links because i have more options and a better performance.
If your connection works you can go to Content Administration ->Portal Content-> NetWeaver-Content-Producer. Hier you can see your remote system. Now you can copy the role and add it to your portal-content.
If you can not see the content make sure that you have the same user on both sides also check the premissions on the portal-content of your remote system. To test the connection it is easier to add Everyone group to the content of your remote system.
regards,
Sharam

- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
