Microphone on Macbook pro does not work in windows 7 with parallels

I recently purchased a Macbook pro with retina display, and installed windows 7 on the macbook with parallels desktop 7. I found out my microphone was not working correctly inside windows, I did bought my laptop to Apple store, at first we thought it was the microphone problem and exchanged me a new laptop, but the issue still exits, so I bought the laptop back to Apple store, this time we find out it seems like the microphone only not working under the windows, it works just fine in Mac part.
Apple direct me to windows telling me that I might need to install a device or driver only windows can provide; then when I contacted window, Windows told me I need to contact apple because the device or deriver must provided by the manufacture of the PC. Both side still direct me back to each other, so I still don't know what deriver or device I needed..........
When I pull up the device manager inside windows, the only device listed under sound is "Parallels Audio Controller (x64)"
Another thing is, the microphone still works inside windows 7, it's just not working correctly. For an example, if I'm doing a live chatting with my friends inside windows, I can hear my friends and they can hear me too, but they cannot hear me very clearly, it seems like there are some kind of negative feedback, it seems like there's an electronic vibrate in my voice.
Can someone please help me
Thank you

Microphone for Macbook Pro 2011

Hello
I got a MacBook Pro late, 2011.
I want to buy a Steelseries Siberia v2 headset with a microphone, but i dont know whether or not the microphone will work. The headset has two male jacks in the end - one for the headset, and one for the microphone. I dont believe the audio line in, will accept the microphone?
If it won't, is there any work around? - Like a y-split cable for instance?
Thanks

7200RPM hard drives can boost your overall performance, and so can SSDs. 17" MacBook Pros can have external SATA via Express/34 added to boost performance. Hard drives that are over 85% full will significantly degrade performance. Make sure any hardware drivers or software you have has been tested with your GPU, and CPU, and operating system down to the point release. Just because something is 10.6.x compatible doesn't mean it is anything more than 10.6 and 10.6.1 compatible. It may have issues with 10.6.7.
Run the font update for 10.6.7 if it hasn't been already, if you are running 10.6.7:

How can I connect external microphone to MacBook Pro?

Hello!
I need to connect the external microphone to my MacBook Pro? How can I do it?

Some mikes have sufficient output to connect to this port, Alexey, but most don't. the solution, if you really want to use this particular mic, is to obtain a small battery or mains powered pre-amplifier to connect between the microphone and the line -in input. Alternatively there are devices which will allow you to connect your existing mic through the USB port. If you have an amplifier with a mic input already you could also use this as an intermediary, though it won't be very portable, of course!
You may find it cheaper to simply buy either a USB or "line level" mic, though.

Internal microphone in MacBook Pro 15" not working after upgrade to Yosemite

Hello
This issue is similar to iMac's problem with the internal microphone not working in FaceTime. In sound preferences, I have the internal microphone set for input. In FacetTme, I have Video->Microphone->Internal Microphone selected. There is no corresponding menu item for Audio (perhaps this is the problem? ). When I make a Facetime video call, I can hear the recipient, but they cannot hear me.
When I go into the Sound setting->Input, select Internal Microphone and test it (like record something from Photo Booth), the bars (input level) remain greyed-out.

External microphone and macbook pro

Hi, I've recently purchased a macbook pro and I would like to know if someone has tried to connect an external micophone. I've tried to connect a simple microphone to the line in port but it doesen't work. Do you think that is a problem on the line in port? Do I have to use a special kind of microphone?
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the forums.
You need to change the settings in the system preferences so that the system knows you have a mic plugged in.
Plug the mic back in and then go to "System Preferences : Sound" and from the Input tab click on Line In to select it.
You will need to do these steps again but selecting "Internal Microphone" if you want to switch back to the internal mic.

Why is the audio suddenly silent on my macbook pro?

I have a MacBook Pro using Mountain Lion and I am away from home, using wifi in a hotel. I just discovered that the audio is suddeny silent when I go to YouTube or any other video or music site. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it. I have turned off Time Machine while here.

Silent SATA for MacBook Pro 13" Unibody

Hi,
i have a MBP 13" with an Intel i5 CPU. I recognized that the HDD is much louder than in my MBP 13" 2010 i had before. The HDD Aplle delivered was a Hitachi HTS545032B9A302 with 320GB. Does someone else have the problem with an loud HDD?
Some with an alternative Option? I tried a Toshiba MK3265GSX but it is as loud as the Hitachi. I'm looking for a silent drive, as in the 2010-Model, which I don't hear.
I read about the Hitachi Travelstar 5kXXX, has somone experiences with this HDD? Does it have Idel-Clicks like the HTS545032B9A302?
Sorry for my bad english.

i have the same model of macbook pro 13" and suffer from the loudness of the system in general. harddisc is much louder than MID2010 model. i had the macbook exchanged now two times - and it got worse. first was seagate - it was just like a loud fan noise. then the next hitachi and it got the clicks on top.
also the very loud fan noise as soon as the cpu hits 25% ... the system ghoes up to 6400rpm and is as loud as a jetplane.
im really angry, that apple made this release so bad. also the buildquality is much worse than the last model. the lid is not closing perfectly. the first macbook ive got was so bend, that i had to put 8 businesscards under one end to make it stable....
im really dissapointed from this release - and if i could i would return it and get back to my really perfect MID2010 ... sadly i sold it allready...

Microphone externe MacBook Pro RÃtina

Bonjour, je voudrais brancher un microphone externe sur mon MacBook Pro Rétina 13" sachant que, dans mes Préférences Système>Son, je n'ai pas "Périphérique audio choisi" comment faire ?

Tech specs declare that
Prise casque
Sortie casque/audio numérique optique (prise mini-jack)
Prise en charge des écouteurs Apple iPhone avec micro
So I must assume that at least, Apple iPhone earphones' mic works fine.

Looking to connect an external microphone on MacBook Pro (Purchased 2010)

I only see one 1/8 jack and it's for headphones. Does/will this double as a mic input as well?

just want a simple audio in/out solution for use with macbook pro (skype/movies/itunes, etc). can I use the typical ipod/iphone earphone+mic or do I need special hardware? 3 notches or 4 notches on the plug?

I needed to make a Skype call and I could not figure which device is the input/capture device, and I want to use the internal mic as the capture device, not an external component. When I open up alsamixer, and look at the capture devices, I am concerned because I notice the following.
My current alsamixer settings
Can anyone clue me into which one is the one I should unmute and set up? I have played around with Audacity for a while changing these and I am just spinning my wheels.

I usually use code blocks for code, not command output. But I will follow conventions.
In any event, I am having one of the weeks. It appears I need set up the appropriate modprobe config to specify my sound device type. With root, do the following.
echo options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55 > /etc/modprobe.d/mbp62-sound.conf
I found other model information, but found using 5,5 settings works for MacBook Pro 6,2 laptops through searching generally through other distro docs and found this for Gentoo.

Silent recall on MacBook Pro batteries

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=189
"If it wasn't bad enough that to have processor and CPU whine, poor Airport reception and solar ambient temperatures, it appears that some early MacBook Pro batteries are now failing.
Christopher Price from PCSIntel.com has uncovered what appears to be a potential issue with the first batch of MacBook Pro batteries.
According to his blog entry "Now The MacBook Pro Batteries…" Chris' MBP battery fried last night and a bit of prodding from AppleCare got the serial number block. AppleCare said there was a known issue with some early MBP batteries and are cross-shipping out new ones to customers having similar symptoms.
MacBook Pro serial numbers up to W8608 are potentially affected by the issue. This means that only the very first two weeks or so of MacBook Pros produced are potentially affected.
In a story on the PowerPage "The MacBook Pro Serial Number Code" I explained how to decode your Mac's serial number: The first two digits are the FactoryID, the third is the year of manufacture and the fourth and fifth digits are the week of manufacture.
A serial number starting with W8607 means that the unit was manufactured in facility W8 (Shanghai China) on the 7th week of 2006. My MBP 2.0GHz begins with W8607 and the full serial number means that it is production number 983 (within this week) according to Chipmunk.nl.
- W8607 - Manufactured: Week of Feb 12, 2006
- W8608 - Manufactured: Week of Feb 19, 2006
- etc..
Symptoms of a MacBook Pro battery problem include: power level going from a full charge to 90 percent, then immediately off. The battery usually either goes straight to one blinking LED or won't respond at all. Some may experience a significant loss of battery capacity as well.
I have two batteries, one has a 6N606 serial number (original) and the other starts with 6N609 (less than a month old). I have yet to experience any battery problems with them. A quick check of Apple's Discussions forum (MacBook Pro > Power and Batteries on a MacBook Pro) yielded a couple of strange MBP battery oddities, but hardly a pandemic. Let's just hope this isn't the start of the MacBook avian flu."

Hi jeff,
It's good to see Apple replacing parts that fail. I believe this battery is a new design so it's not unlikely to see some with problems.
I have a week 10 machine and even though my battery has not failed, it does have a random behavior. It might go as low as 2400mAh max charge... and when I'm about to call Apple I check again and it's up to 5600... I don't really like this and will eventually ask for a replacement.
I was waiting for a firmware update that will fix this like it happened with the 1.67 hi-res PB's but nothing came up yet.
We'll see.
Best Regards

Looking for silent HDD for Macbook Pro 208 Penryn

Hi,
i'm looking for a really silent HDD for my MB Pro. The HDD in my stock base MB Pro is a FUJITSU MHY2200BH. It makes a permanent "fan-like" background noise. Can someone recommend a silent 200-250GB HDD? (doesn't matter whether 5400rpm or 7200rpm).

These models are to be considered (Samsung, Western Digital and Toshiba)
