Satellite L300-2CL - built in mic stopped working

Hello
When I bought this computer (sep-09) everything was working fine. Then in march (I hade it idle for awhile), my built in mic stopped working.
Everything eles is working fina, and I have scanned the web for solutions, and tried to install new drivers, unistall them, boots everything possible, disabel and rebooting, but at most I just get a static sound from my test recordings.
I am using win 7 home pre, but the issues started when I was using Vista. Now I am out of ideas, and my friends on Skype grows tired of not hearing me.
Is there anything I can do to get the mic work, or should I just buy a headset?
Greatful for help
Hugo

Hi
Sounds a little bit like an mic hardware issue but you should also check the internal mic settings in control panel -> sound.
There you will see the Recording tab.
Here you should mark the internal mic and should check the properties.
Set all volume controllers to max.
Choose internal mic as standard device.
In Playback tab choose speakers -> properties.
There you will see the level tab. Here you should set the microphone to 100 and should check if its not disabled too.

    Are the bars on the audio input level meter moving when you talk? Try recording audio with Quicktime or some other app (like Audacity) that records audio.

  • Internal mic stopped working today, please help! C660 1F1

    Hey guys,
    My laptop is a Satellite C660 1F1, and it runs Windows 7, 64bit version.
    This afternoon, my internal mic stopped working. It was just fine this morning. Yet I can still hear people on Skype perfectly.
    I've checked all my settings, and according to them, everything is just fine. But it isn't. The little green bar that shows received sound doesn't move at all. It only moves a tiny bit when I tap the mic with my finger.
    I've reinstalled drivers, I have my settings adjusted for maximum mic usage, but it's just not working.
    I don't know what else to do, and this mic is the only way I can contact my family right now. Someone, please help me!

  • Realtek Mic stopped working Please Help.

     I'm on a Toshiba NB205-N325BN, Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Atom processor N280 o 1.66GHz, 512KB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset. Audio Driver is  a Realtek High Definition Audio driver version 6.0.1.5904
    My internal mic stopped working. I'm not sure how long it hasn't been since I don't use it all the time, but when I went to use skype last night I found that the mic wouldn't work with anything even the sound recorder program in the accessories folder. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but to no success. I figured I give this forum ago to see if any one could help otherwise I'll have to call the Toshiba support line or do a clean install of windows (which I do not want to do at this time.)

    I actually got in contact with Realtek's support via e-mail, and they sent me a program to install that will let them check their devices that are on the machine. After I ran the scan this is the conversation that we had:
    Realtek: "We found you had plugged a external mic to microphone jack. Have you tried to unplug external mic and then check the built in mic ?" 
    Me: "I don't own an external mic, but I did plug in my headphones into the mic port by accident recently maybe that was it? I don't have anything plugged in right now and it's not working."
    Realtek: "Please try to dump audio info again(run the scan again) during recording interanl mic sound."
    After I ran the scan again they sent me these instructions, and I'm kind of confused on what he means (I think the support is in Asia somewhere and they are translating each message at a time.)
    Realtek: "We tried to check it with TOSHIBA. Your machine supports audio prower download feature after audio idle status. You can try to turn off this function on the Power Manager Page of Realtek HD Audio Manageer. Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state .
    Can anyone help me understand that last part? I went to the Audio Manager and I didn't see a Power Manager page anywhere! Does "Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state." Mean that it might start working if I try to use it with headphones?

  • Wine makes mic stop working.

    A bit of a niche problem. But my mic stops working in linux apps when my wine game application is started. Closing the wine application makes the mic work again.
    It's an inboard mic. I don't use the sound from the wine application so I don't need to preserve that functionallity. I just want my linux apps working.
    My music programs work. (Output is fine just not input). And I couldn't see anything relevant in the wine configuration. If you need any more info just ask.
    Tried in mumble skype teamspeak. It's all the same. Thanks.

    Anybody?

  • Built-in iSight stops working on iMac--try re-setting SMU

    I spent about two hours trying to figure out why my built-in iSight stopped working--all of a sudden it would show only a green screen in Photo Booth, black in iChat and not at all in iVideoHD, and not really register as available. It did show up in the Apple profiler of USB devices, and also, it would work in a non-apple program, iVisit. I did not install an HP printer, as another thread user commented on. I read about resetting the SMU in an Apple discussion and also in this forum, so I shut down the computer, pulled the power and everything else plugged into the computer and waited a minute, then plugged the computer back in and turned it on, then finally plugged back in my devices including keyboard and mouse (that was Apple's instructions). Vioala! iSight works again.

    Hi,
    For Others
    As a Note on this some G5s are prone to not having the System Preferences > Displays set to Millions.
    There is no direct evidence that it effects other computers but do check if your is still set to Millions and is not being commanded by a games app or something else to display less Colours.

  • IPhone 5 mic stopped working

    I got my iPhone 11.01 (2 days ago GTM +1) and 12.11 lately 5pm the mic stopped working.
    It works when i record movie, and when using siri. But it does not work when i am trying to record voice, or trying to call someone.
    Please help me

    I had the same issue. I noticed people couldn't hear me when I called them over the phone all of a sudden one night. So I tested the microphone using the voice memo app to see if it was a hardware issue vs a carrier issue. Looks to be a hardware issue. HOWEVER, on incoming calls, the microphone seems to work fine. And after using another phone to call myself to test, my next outgoing call was fine!  I think I might still run by the Apple Store and have someone look at it. Here's a video of the microphone not working even though it works fine again now.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8iduofHMAk

    Apparently I'm not the only one?
    Seems like a pretty silly problem. Having a TOM address above 4Gb blow the driver's mind?

  • External mic stopped working, but the built-in still does

    Most likely during one of the recent runs of pacman -Syu, something changed causing the external mic to record some quiet static regardless of actual input. If unplugged, the built-in mic kicks in and records fine.
    What can you guys recommend as steps for troubleshooting this? The mic works if I boot into Windows. Also tried running alsamixer and setting all volumes in Capture to max.
    This is on a HP dv7t-6100 Quad laptop.
    Thanks,
    Pav

    Replace the SIM with a working SIM from the carrier.
    If there are issues with the home button, take the device to Apple for evaluation.  All 5S's are still under warranty, unless they have suffered user damage.

  • Satellite A500 - Built in microphone stopped working

    Hello everyone, Im new here but I found nowhere else to go.
    I've never had problems with my microphone before and in the last 2 days it stopped working. The only thing I updated was my Windows, which is Windows 7 64 bit. The microphone is selected at the sound tab on the control panel but it just wont pick up sounds, just annoying static. I already downloaded the most up to date sounds driver from the Toshiba website and tried but it didnt help.
    If anyone got an idea ill be thrilled, this is really affecting my studies.
    Thank you in advance,
    Jonathan.

    Hi buddy,
    Do you use the microphone with an external application like Skype or how do you use it?
    The microphone is a part of internal webcam so if you have some problems with the internal microphone I would recommend reinstalling the webcam driver that you can download on official Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    Remove the old webcam driver and restart the computer. Then try to install the newest one.

  • Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' Keys not working - can't log

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    My 'F' and 'w' keys arent working, and because I have a Built-in HDD user password of which contains those letters, I can not start up my computer.
    I had a 'startup' problem a couple of months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to a previous date. I did this through Boot management during startup. The only thing is I cant remember how to do it now.
    I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop- so the only way I can do it is through boot management.
    So, how do you do a system restore? or is there another way of fixing this problem?.
    Please help!! :)

    Hello
    If W and F key dont work I would recommend replacing the keyboard or use an external one. In my opinion its the best choice because you also need the keys for typing letters or emails
    You can get a new keyboard from an authorized service provider in your country.
    > I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop
    I think you should read the user manual because you have to create this disk yourself ;)
