Trouble having headset mic work on GarageBand

I am having trouble getting the mic to work on my headset on GarageBand. It's a Cyber Acoustic AC-201 (most likely - I am unsure since I bought them way before I got my MacBook). Can anyone tell me how to set it up/get it to work on GarageBand? I mean I use this mic for Rosetta Stone and it works great but when I use GarageBand it simply doesn't work.

  • Pulseaudio + USB headset: mic works, headphones don't

    I have a Logitech USB headset that I've gotten to work under other distros, but not yet with Arch. I'm running ALSA + Pulseaudio, with my /etc/asound.conf sending ALSA events to Pulseaudio. This works fine for everything I've used, with the exception of my headset. The mic works, but I can't get get any sound through the headphones, it just always goes to the default sound card. When I run pavucontrol I can see my headset listed as an input device, but not an output device.
    Any ideas? Been searching, but haven't found anything yet.

    My headset is /dev/dsp1, just FYI

  • Does iSight mic work for garageband?

    My internal mic is broken, I was looking for a fast solution and the guy at mac store told me that since I have a iSight camera, I could use my iSight(cuz there's a camera and mic both) for Garageband to record. I went to open my Garageband>Preferences>Audio"MIDI to change the audio setting from Built-in Audi to iSight. I can see iSight when I select Audio Input, but it's ghosted and shows "iSight(not 44.1)"
    What does this mean? And can my iSight work as a external mic for my Garageband?
    Could someone please advise me?
    Thank you.

  • Mic works in Settings but not Echo Test

    My Bluetooth mic works in Audio Settings with excellent levels but when I use the Echo
    Test Service my voice does not record.
    I have tried re-installing Skype with no result.
    Help would be appreciated.

    USB or not doesn't matter. People usually have trouble getting the mic working because they use USB cards which are not the default of their systems, so you can try the said fixes, it should work.
    For skype, did you check the Skype settings for where it inputs/outputs? Skype might be trying to use PulseAudio even if you don't have it...
    You can try setting the default device in your asoundrc:
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    Replace "card 0" with the correct card, like "card 2,1" or "card 1".

  • Unable to get Bluetooth Headset Profile working with mic on Toshiba BT Stac

    Hi.
    I am having problems using my Motorola HT-820 Stereo headset, with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack installed on Vista Home Premium 32bit laptop.
    I am unable to get the mic to function at all, so cannot use it for Skype / VOIP calls etc. Features such as the A2DP and AVRCP work fine, and I can listen to music via media player without issues.
    I have read in a FAQ on this site, to make sure I use the Custom Setup option rather than Express Setup when adding the device, but it doesnt seem to make any difference, am I missing a step here?
    In the Windows Recording device properties, I can see the option listed for Bluetooth Mic, but even setting it as the default device doesnt work.
    I know from connecting my headset to my Desktop PC which uses the Widdcom bluetooth stack, that i can use the Headset/mic function, but this stack seems to work differently, as in I can select the headset option within the bluetooth settings, but I cannot see such an option withing the Toshiba stack - and i think this is where the problem is.
    I have updated to the latest Toshiba stack from this web site, but this has not helped any.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Matt

    Hello Matt
    Unfortunately I can not help you with this but if I am remembering well here on BT section someone already asked something similar. Please take a little bit time and check BT section on this forum.
    You can also visit FAQ section on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/
    Maybe will find something there.
    Good luck!

  • Does ANYBODY know how to get a Bluebird Mic to work with GarageBand?

    I bought this really expensive Blue Bluebird condenser mic and I'd REALLY like to get it to work with GarageBand. I have a cable that converts from low impedance to high impedance, then some adapters to plug the cable into my iMic, which then connects via a USB port. I know that's a lot of connectors, but it's the only way I can think of to turn the Bluebird mic into a USB mic. Can anybody help me with this? PLEASE??

    that looks, uh, complicated.
    none of it should be any more so than your current setup. if you went the interface route it would be Mic to interface interface to computer (USB or FireWire). if you went the analogue console route it would be the same, but into the iMic or Line-n on the computer
    so I would need a female to male mic cable
    standard mic cable, it's how they usually come.
    Also, do you recommend the external Phantom Power supply, or a new interface?
    that reaches more toward opinion, and also why i mentioned never using a separate power supply. you have to weigh cost vs quality (basically, what you expect from your final project).
    if it's just for kicks, and your iMic's quality satisfies you, $20 for a power supply seems cost effective. if you're looking to reach the quality of recordings you hear on the radio, a better interface would be the right choice now since you'd wind up there eventually.
    the in-between is the analogue console. having a mixer between the mic and the iMic definitely gives you more control since you can boost or attenuate the signal going to the iMic.
    so the 3 choices you have would be: Power Supply-least quality, least control. Analogue Console-same quality, much more control. more expensive interface-possibly the best quality recording as well as good control.
    since you picked a very good mic, i'd suggest looking toward a good interface like the FireBox (great Mic PREs for the expensive mic)
    hope that helps

  • Best Headset Mic for Podcasting in Garageband?

    What is the best headset mic for recording a podcast with Garageband '08?

    The Logitech ClearChat Pro USB headset works pretty well for me. Just make sure the mic is far enough away where you're not going to be breathing directly into it. To really make the tracks sound studio-quality, add a Compressor (with vocal presets) and possible a Gate to the vocal track of your podcast in GarageBand.

  • Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

    Hi,
    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
    Here are the connections I have made:
    Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
    Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
    I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
    Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

    Thanks,

    Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
    Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
    W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

  • My Headset mic won't work.

    Hello Apple Support! As it is in the title my headset mic won't work, and I just bought them today . My headset is: Microsoft LifeChat lx-2000 (yes it is compatible with mac)
    Image
    Already done: Went to system preferences====> Sound ===> Input (did not see it in the input but in only in the output)
    Plugged the mic plug in the Symbole like so=> >O< (2 arrows pointing left and right and a circle in the center).
    Please help me!

    Uhhh, sadly they don't tell you which Macs it works on, seems only the older ones, this from the PDF...
    For a Macintosh PC:
    • Mac OS X v10.1-10.5.x
    • Analog audio input/output ports

  • Wow Wireless Headset Mic stops working on Mac OSX 10.6.3

    I'm running the April drivers and firmware for my wireless wow headset. After the install of the drivers all was working great. No lag from mic etc. I shutdown my computer went to bed. Next day I booted up, worked a bit and then turned on my headset. Sound worked fine but no mic input detectable from any application. Unplugged the transmitter and replugged it. Sound still works but not mic. I rebooted with the headset on and mic worked. I assumed headset needed to be on during boot up. This morning same thing but even reboot with the headset on doesn't give me microphone functionality.
    I've double checked the mic is plugged in properly to the headset but i just can't get any sound out of it.

    Ok, I found a work around. It seems the mic doesn't initialize sometimes when i boot up and power on the head set. I can tell the mic isn't working because if i press the mute button the red light doesn't come on indicating I'm muted. To fix this i power off the headset and power it back on. This takes several attempts. I also found it seems to do better at initializing when its not plugged into the charging cable.

  • TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

    What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

    See if this helps...

  • PulseAudio, USB headset - Mic sometimes working...?

    I need someone to help me debug a problem I have with the microphone on my USB headset sometimes not working; The level indicator in pavucontrol does not show up - if I switch between Digital Duplex and Off a couple of times, its hit or miss if it shows up or not. When the level indicator shows up, the mic works perfectly, when its doesn't show up, it doesn't work at all.
    Anyone had this issue before?

    Ok, seems like it's not as easy as that.
    Today when I booted my computer, I am unable to make the microphone work what so ever. It could still be as easy as a concurrency problem in Pulse when configuring. But it seems unlikely that I am the only person with this problem?

  • Headset Bluetooth Philips SHB6110  - mic works on Ipod Touch 2G?

    I am looking to buy this headset.
    http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SHB6110/10&slg=en&scy=G B
    I wonder if his mic works on iPod Touch 2G.
    Thank you!

    Hello guys!
    The headset has arrived now! I did some testing only in the Ipod, as I did not have a Bluetooth interface for my PC:
    - Mic: Does not work in 2G Ipod. The voice recorder does not recognize the microphone. I could not test on Skype yet, but I believe the same thing will happen.
    - Volume buttons (+ and -): Do not work on iPod 2G, the volume control can only be done by the Ipod. PS: the volume is good, but it is not extremely high, you can hear normally, but for those accustomed to listen with high volume can not enjoy.
    - Rewind and Forward buttons (<<and>>): Work to move the tracks, but keep them under pressure,does not advance the time.
    - Charge: It is connected directly into electric current, has no option to load the PC, but I believe that using a standard USB cable that can be done.
    The sound quality is great! The distance that can be used is also very good, up to 9 feet!
    Although I will test with the PC then just miss the microphone, but this can be turned over if I change my Ipod Touch for a 4G in the future. My only fear is of being robbed! :-)
    I hope I have helped!

  • What headset / earphones with mic work with N900?

    The WH-205 earphones that came with my N900 have died; there is an internal break and it has lost sound to one ear. I don't want another pair of them, I'm looking for an alternative set of in-ear earphones with a mic. Can anyone suggest something that has been tested with an N900? I bought a pair of Klipsch S2m earphones which had been suggested, but they don't work, they make a strange and loud clicking noise, so it seems the N900 is sensitive about which earphones/headsets work.
    Ideally I'm after earphones that have a cable, so I can use them on an aeroplane. Don't mind if they are Bluetooth too, as long as wired use is possible. I don't mind if special buttons don't work, as long as the audio and mic work correctly.
    Can anyone suggest anything that has been proven to work in practice? Thanks very much in advance,
    Cheers, Tony.

    I've been using the pair that came with my missus's Sony Ericsson Vivaz, which are just a similar pair to the N900's ones.  1 cable with the mic and 2 earphones, but not the little bud ones that keep falling out of my ears (hence me using them and not the Nokia ones).
    I'd love to have had the ones from my N95 that had the pickup and end buttons etc, but c'est la vie...

  • Headset Mic No Longer Working

    As of a few days ago, the microphone on my iPhone headset stopped working. I've tried it on my wife's 3G and it works fine and I also purchased a new headset that isn't working, so it's not the mic or the headset apparently. any thoughts on what the issue might be?

    Hi,
    Make sure there isn't any debris in the headphone jack, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802#faq25
    If the issue persists after trying the tips in the article, the iPhone will likely need service. You can setup service by making a reservation with a Genius online here: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or by calling U.S. iPhone technical support at: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466)
