Rosetta Stone Mic Delay

Is there any way to keep the internal mic from going to sleep while I work in Rosetta Stone? The program does recognize the internal mic on my computer, but if it has been a few moments since the lesson last asked me to use the mic, the mic seems to go to sleep, and I have to repeat myself 3-4 times before the mic picks me up. Sometimes this happens in the middle of me saying something, so Rosetta Stone marks it wrong when I've said the right thing 2-3 times.
This is annoying, not really a bug, but it would be great if there was a way to keep my mic "awake" during my Rosetta Stone lessons. Any suggestions?

Mine is a different problem. And this is with a Mac Pro desktop.
First off, the USB headset never works. I tried the Rosetta Stone-supplied headset and a Logitech G330 (normally used for in-game chatting) and they did not work in the Rosetta program - versions 3 and 4.
I used an external mic and opted for the line input. Rosetta worked perfectly. I went all the way through Level 2. (Language I am learning is German), and even managed to converse with a German online tutor in Seattle (a feature in Version 4's TOTALe software).
Until two weeks ago. The line input is now kaput. This might have been related to a recent software update they made. The software update has now broken Rosetta and I cannot use any inputs at all. And "kaputt" is not a German word I want to keep learning about Rosetta's software!
Already called technical support. I am led to believe that there's something in the software that is refusing to take any input. The tech support call took almost an hour with little progress (I'm sure their technicians have already noted about it). I have nothing against the South Asians here on Apple Discussions, but their tech support team needs work.
Fluenz, though, had no problems. Fluenz is a competing language learning provider, but unlike Rosetta, only offer five languages - neither of them is German - and does not use speech recognition like Rosetta. However, there were absolutely no problems with Fluenz receiving any audio input.
Too bad. Rosetta actually worked wonders - when it worked.

My Mac Book Pro using Mountain Lion will show a usb headset with a mic to select in the settings window. But the Rosetta Stone software I am using will not find the mic for me to select and use. What should I do?

Mac Book Pro with OS X Mountain Lion will not recognize headset mic via Rosetta Stone software. What should I do?

Hi Illaass,
I am using version 3. I have used the apple/settings on my mac. The headset is appearing there and it is selected there. In the Rosetta Stone select/find window nothing shows up. It is blank. But the volume bars react when I speak and sliding the fader has the expected effect of raising and lowering the input. There is just no device showing up as the selected input device in the Rosetta Stone software.
I have done everything my Mac instructions say to uninstall and reinstall the Rosetta Stone software properly.
I'm guessing the problem may be in the licensing. I installed it first on the old hard drive that crashed. Maybe that used the terms of the license and now installing it in the new hard drive violates the license somehow. So that's why it will not work properly. It allows me to open the lessons and asks me if I want to continue from where I left off. I click continue. Then it asks me if I want to register the software. I click the tab for already registered software and click continue. Then nothing happens. So again I click on the button that indicates I want to continue lessons from where I left off. The same process happens with it asking me if I want to register the software. And it will not proceed through a lesson.

Rosetta stone isn't reading my mic!!!!

Rosetta Stone isn't reading my mic but on system preferences it says that it is plugged in. The mic came with the program/software and is via usb. Please help!!!!!

Just to be sure, you do have the USB mic selected in the System Preferences->Sound->Input window, correct?
Here (I don;t have a USB mic connected so your display will be different then mine)

Rosetta Stone doesn't recognize my internal mic

I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.1) and I'm running Rosetta Stone Version 3, but it doesn't recognize my internal microphone at all. When I got to Audio Settings > Available Microphones, nothing shows up at all. How do I fix this?

Rosetta's response:
Vittal Prasad K: Thank you for contacting Rosetta Stone, my name is Vittal Prasad. How may I help you today?You: working with an iMac, the internal microphone will not work during setup
You: it is working fine on all other programs, and was working fine about a month ago with Rosetta
Vittal Prasad K: I understand your concern.
Vittal Prasad K: I have checked with our database and found that the program you own is Chinese level 1. Correct?You: yes
Vittal Prasad K: Thank you for confirming the information.
Vittal Prasad K: I would like to inform you that, it is recommended to use the USB headset to access the course. If you use an internet microphone then you will experience issues in speaking exercises.
You: we have had no issues until recently, was working fine and able to pass with 100% in speaking excercises
Vittal Prasad K: I understand that but as per the policy we are not authorized to assist learner who are using an internal microphone to access the course.
Vittal Prasad K: I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
You: really??? your software stopped working, and that's the response?

My new iMac's internal microphone is not being recognized by other applications (such as Skype or rosetta stone)?

I just bought a new iMac. I'm having trouble with the internal microphone. I went to systems preferences> sound, and checked the input levels. The computer shows recieved sound from internal microphone and a USB connected microphone. However, no one on Skype can hear me, and microphone isn't recognized while using rosetta stone. Does anyone know what could be the problem with my internal mic?

I did get an answer to my problem. It was specifically with skype and Rossetta Stone. I had to re-install the apps and then do the general upgrade. It fixed the problem. Works fine now.

10.5.7 update messes up speech recogniton component of rosetta stone

I've been using Rosetta Stone for a while and there is a speech component to the program where, via the built in mic or a usb headset, you speak when prompted and the program analyzes your voice and tells you if your pronunciation is correct. With OS X 10.5.6 this particular component worked fine, but after installing the update the program now has a slower response time to my voice and more often than not incorrectly analyzes what I've said, requiring that I repeat each exercise about a half-dozen times before getting it right. I thought it was a problem with the program, but I was informed that this is an issue with version 10.5.7 and not Rosetta Stone, and that complaints have been spotted in forums having nothing to do with the Rosetta Stone software.
Could this be a bug with the update? If so, can someone direct me as to how to get a message to those responsible for correcting them. Thanks.

This problem may be related to the issue discussed in this thread.

The post by Rasti,
"OK, for the Extigy issue ... it seems I have found a workaround.
Go to /System/Library/Extensions. There is a kernel extension for USB Audio, named AppleUSBAudio.kext.
10.5.6 contains version 2.6.0b11 of that module.
The 10.5.7. upgrade installs a new version, 2.6.4b11. Using a time machine backup
from earlier today, I simply reinstalled the old module...."
may describe the same audio problem you are experiencing.
The solution is not trivial and there is no guarantee it will fix your issue, but it might.

Speaker issues using Rosetta Stone

I am having troubles with the online version of Rosetta Stone in that the speaker is not working using the internal speakers, headset or iPhone headphones. The spoken sentences/words from the app do not come through at all. The mic works fine, which is strange as it has caused issues with a lot of other users.
I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash and have the issue with both Safari and Google Chrome.
I have a 2011 Macbook Air using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
Any help much appreciated.

Rosetta Stone chat told me that it's compatible and there aren't any major known issues.

Rosetta stone headset

How do I get the rosetta stone headset to work on my Mac?

Rosetta Stone support is your best source of support information. This forum is for Apple software and hardware help.
However, you might not know that the earbud/mic that came with your MBP should work just fine.

Rosetta Stone microphone problem

I am trying to use Rosetta Stone 3.4.5. I have a logitech microphone (not headphones) plugged into the mic in plug in the back of the mini. The microphone will sometimes make it through the test, but when I get into the lesson it does not work. I've googled for a solution, but everything I read seems related to macbooks and conflicts between the built-in mic and and the line in mic. Suggestions?
Running Lion 10.7.3

My microphone input tested fine for Rosetta Stone but the program would not recognize my voice input during lessons. I stumbled across this:
https://resources.rosettastone.com/assets/ce/1337093021/assets/pdfs/headset_guid es/ENG.pdf
On page 3 it says you have to go into your system preferences>other>Flash Player>Camera and Mike>Camera and Mike Setting by Site> and hit the + to add the following for permission
resources.rosettastone.com and Alow it.
After I did this everything worked fine.

You need to contact Rosetta Stone. I believe they also have their own forum area. Do a Google search.

ISight Rosetta Stone not working on Mac Pro

Hi all!!!
I've just installed Rosetta Stone on my MacPro and bought a Firewire 800->400 addapter to be able to use my iSight
for it's mic but it doesn't seem to work in Rosetta. In the prefs window is sees my iSight cam but when I come to make a test
it doesn't turn on the dreen light and it just doesn't work. I have checked it in my prefs as my input but still no go. The cam works
great with PhotoBooth and other progs but this one is for now a no go. Any help with this would be greatfull!!!
Thanks all!!
Serge

Firewire 800->400 addapter to be able to use my iSight for it's mic
Read the user manual that came w/the mic and/or call their customer support dept. Is this mic compatible w/Macs?

Can i transfer Rosetta Stone Software from my iMac to an iPad 2?

Hi,
Can i move my rosetta stone software from my imac which runs 10.4.11 to an iPad 2?
I haven't yet bought the ipad but i want to take it with me while i travel but want to make sure that this is possible first.
I bought the software legally and have all the discs. It isn't an app.
Also is there any way to plug in an USB connector into an iPad 2?
Can someone help me please?
Thank you.

As Demo said this isn't an Apple thing. It is the way the world works. Software for one platform doesn't generally work on another platform.
It is something to take up with Rosetta Stone. They do make a Total Course HD application which is free. However it looks like you need to pay for some kind of monthly subscription to hook it up with your account.
Which also makes sense. Nothing is free. Rosetta is a company that needs to make money to pay its employees. They could have included the cost of this service with the inital purchase of the system, but then all the people who don't have iPads would be complaining that they had to pay for something the didn't/couldn't use.

How do I install Rosetta Stone onto my Macbook running OSX 10.8 when installing it I go into the folder called For MAC Users and the files in there are .exe files which cant be open on a Mac. If anyone has a solution or even a download link let me know.

This is really frustrating please let me know I looked around and all the downloads cost money and I would prefer if you guys could give me a free one but a solution would be even better!!
Thanks

You have the Windows version of the software. You will need to contact Rosetta Stone directly to get the Mac version of their software. I can confirm it does install on Mountain Lion without issues.

Old Rosetta Stone disk is asking for an administrator

I have had an "old" Rosetta Stone 2.2a (version 2) disk that keeps crashing on my 1 year old (10.6.6) Macbook. I also use it on my imac and it works fine.
I've uninstalled the application by dragging it to the trash and emptied the trash.
Now putting the application CD back in; it is saying that I am not the administrator. Which I am; I have to sign on everytime I use the computer; I'm the only one on it.
Rosetta Stone tech support sent me back to apple to become the administrator.
Someone have an Idea what I need to do?
What I would like to see happen is for the program to work on both computers.
thanks

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac?

I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have. You probably have 2 GB of RAM... there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while. At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.
