Nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic

I get nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic on my macbook. I'm running Maverick. Why is this happening?

Note: there may be other issues involved, but without further details I can only suggest that using headphones is the best way to accurately hear what you're recording, adjust gain levels, and avoid feedback. So this should be the first thing to try as you troubleshoot.

Sound recording using an external mic?

What's the best way to do sound recording using an external mic?
I have found the fostex stereo mic and the iRig. Is there any others out there?

Hello Robert,
I came up with the same problem last week and the Genius Desk and support have no answer. Furthermore, Plantronics is saying it's an Apple problem. The only clue Apple provides is to try the device on a non-Intel Mac to isolate it further. Have you tried this? I'm attempting to get to work using SKYPE but I don't know anyone with an older Mac.

Voice Over Using USB Headset

Is this even possible? I have upto now been using a dynamic mic through the camera as a preamp - firwire into the VO tool. That works fine but it would be easier to set up the USB Plantronics DSP 500 for the job.....sniffed around the postings but could not find anything on this.
Checked my settings and tried to record the VO but naddda?? The VO tool recognizes the headset but just scrubs the timeline when I click record.

Seems like you should be able to do it but the USB audio interface seems to have some strange problems with FCP. I use a Koss headset/mic into a Griffin iMic device. Works great. But the iMic contains a USB-powered preamp.

Using bluetooth headset causes OSX to freeze regularly

I'm having problems using my Bluetooth Plantronics P590 headset. It causes OSX to become unstable. I've been using it for 2 days, and had about 4 crashes (OSX locking up) during that time. When I use the headset, lots of times my bluetooth Mighty Mouse becomes jittery (annoying but not more than that, and solvable by turning the mouse off and on). However, sometimes it just completely freezes my machine (the screen turns grey and a message appears in several languages saying I need to restart my computer by holding the power button). The last log sent to Apple looks like this:

When using the headset in combination with Skype, there are outgoing audio troubles (see http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=137331). I do feel though that that is a Skype problem, because I can record audio fine using Audacity. I just thought I'd mention it here as it might be important.
So basically the problem seems to be that using the bluetooth headset compromises the stability of OSX. I am using two more bluetooth devices (Mighty Mouse + wireless Apple keyboard).
I am now using my USB headset again and things work as expected, lockups do not appear anymore so it really seems to be related to the bluetooth headset.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Same problem, I'm using a Kensington 33348 USB Bluetooth adapter and a Cardo S2 Headset. Have been using the Kensington for over 6 months with other devices now and then. Just paired the S2 headset today and have had two kernel panics when listening to music. Not Good. So I wonder if the problem is the Kensington, the Cardo, or OS X Bluetooth.

CANT USE BLUETOOTH HEADSET AS AUDIO DEVICE

I just got a bluetooth headset today, paired it with my imac, went into teh sound settings, then selected it as my audio input and output device. was working fine all day then all of a sudden it stopped working and no matter what i do it will not show up in the sound setting to let me choose it as a audio device.
It does however show up in bluetooth prefences as connected/paired etc. what can i do to fix this? i am on 10.4.2 with all the latest updates and have the 20" imac.
thanks

I am experiencing this problem also. Strangely, I had my headset working properly, with no problems at all. Then, for no reason, the headset stopped working. I switched to another bluetooth headset and the new one worked properly. I also used a third headset, but it seems that the system is not properly clearing information about each headset. Now none work at all.
I have deleted all from bluetooth preferences, repaired one. The pairing appears to work properly, but the headset never shows up in the Audio section of System Preferences and cannot be used with Skype. I am at my wits end. I have repaired preferences. Shut down and restarted. Reinstalled Skype. Trashed Skype preferences. You name it I have tried it. I cannot get any of my 3 bluetooth headsets working now.
Please someone help.

Fm radio while using bluetooth headset

Hi folks
How do I listen to the fm radio while using bt headset ?
I must be a lucky one as my bh 505 headset is still going after around 9 months. I do keep it under my car sunvisor so maybe it gets dried out. Impressive sound, better bass and volume than standard headet. Bh 505 battery will last longer than 8 hrs continuos play at work.
Don

You need a wired headset to listen to the radio.
I saw a post the other day on this forum of a guy who claimed to get fm reception using just a male 3.5mm connector.
It makes me wonder if you can use a wire with a connector from old headphones cut to a certain length just to receive the radio wave and play via bluetooth.
I think it's about time Nokia made an antenna for the radios to give us more options.

Use Bluetooth headset during audio playback

When I listen to an audio file, the audio plays on my iPhone external speakers. I want to change this to my Bluetooth headset (which I use quite often for the phone app), but I don't see any way to do this. Any ideas?

I'm assuming
I would look at the directions for my headset to find out?

Use Bluetooth headset with Shuffle?

Is there anyway I can use a Bluetooth headset with my latest generation iPod shuffle?

There is no built-in Bluetooth, obviously, but I suppose it is technically possible if you plug in a Bluetooth transmitter like this one
http://www.iogear.com/product/GBMA211W6/
which works with anything that outputs audio through a mini-stereo jack. It might look somewhat rediculous with a tiny iPod shuffle connected.
It might be better to get something like this

where the shuffle becomes part of the headset, with no cord in between.

Use bluetooth headset

Can you use a bluetooth headset for Skype calls while on a wireless WIFI connection? I was attempting that kind of connection and could not get it to work.

Go to Bluetooth in System Preferences and choose to pair a new device. When the Bluetooth Setup Assistant starts it will ask what type of device you would like to set up. Choose Headset. The assistant will set up yourhead set and creat sound input and output channels for that device. From there you either set up your software to stream to your headset, or go to Sound in System Preferences to set input and output through the headset. Just rmember to switch Sound preferences back after if you do it the second way. That way iTunes and other programs that use shound won't try to play through your bluetooth headset.

Muvo N200 - Improving Voice Recording Using Built In Microph

I noticed that there is a transparent sticker over the N200 display.
It seems to cover the microphone.
Has anyone noticed any benefit by peeling this off and then making voice recordings.
I have tested it but can't hear any difference.
Anyone got any voice recording tips ?
Thanks

BognorRocks,
The transparent plastic is meant to protect the display from scratches. Although the plastic is covering the mic input hole. I don't think it makes such a big different in the recording.

Skype for Android can't use Bluetooth headset in a...

When i've unchecked the "Call audio" checkbox in my bluetooth headset settings of my android device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) and left "on" only the "Media audio" checkbox, then skype uses my bt headset only untill my call has been answered. After call recipient has been answered my call, skype starts using my phone speaker.
It's a shame, that i can't use my stereo bluetooth headset (in a2dp mode) in pair with my phone's microphone.
Does somebody have a workaround for this problem?
Thansk for your attention.

According to the A2DP, where P stands for that states that the BT microphone is to be used.
You (and Skype) should study the profile, since this allow e.g. contacts and a pile of other things to be shared say with your car´s Bluetooth. For audio, the phone can use the Bluetooth for Audio (stereo or mono) and microphone (usually mono, but stereo is upported).
Bluetooth is pretty advanced protocol, that even cover the power of the radio, so you batteries both on the headset and on the phone will last longer if you keep them close. The profile supported indicates the device category - laptop computer, mobile phone etc. The number will usually refer to the version of Bluetooth, here 2, while headset now are in version 4. There are a lot of confusion about this, and a number of applications on the Playstore is just at the best utter nonsense, but can also cause damage. Many of the problems posted here may be related to installation of faulty "apps". Your phone should in newer versions of Android support A2DP as they come.

Wifi degrades when using Bluetooth headset

I've noticed that when I use my Bluetooth headset (Sony Ericsson HBH PV-700) with my iPhone, the wifi (airport extreme) degrades or stops working. If I switch back to speakerphone or iPhone, them wifi starts working again. The PV-700 is only Bluetooth 1.1... perhaps iPhone requires 2.0 ?

k.alexander - thanks for posting. It's a relief to hear that another headset exhibits the same issue. Alas, it's also disappointing. The thing I most wanted to do with my iPhone was talk using Bluetooth and surf using wifi. I'm guessing it’s a proximity issue - both the Bluetooth and the wifi signals are emitted from the phone at the bottom through the black plastic. I upgraded to the iPhone from a Sony Ericcson z525a. I had no issues using Bluetooth to talk on it while simultaneously surfing on a laptop connected via wifi. Hopefully the Apple Bluetooth headset will be designed to get around this apparent limitation…

HT4111 Using Bluetooth headset with my ipad

I want to use my bluetooth headset to listen to itunes or othe apps with sound on my ipad. Can I listen to things from my ipad through my bluetooth headset?

Thanks for the link, I found this in my search but it does not seem to help me with the problem I am having which is this (quoted from a previous post):
"It shows that it is connected in Settings. I put the device in my ear (with it on) and start up itunes but am hearing it through my ipad speakers not the headset. I push the call button on my bluetooth headset and it comes up with Siri on my ipad wanting me to ask a question. I am hearing her through the headset though but nothing else seems to play through the headset."

Has anyone tried to use bluetooth headsets in a school lab setting?

Our K-5 school has a lab of 30 Intel iMacs. We've had problems keeping wired headsets in good working condition and are looking to possibly replace them with bluetooth headsets. I am hoping someone has done this and can give a yes or no to this idea.
My main concerns are:
linking that many bluetooth devices within a small room (static??)
keeping them charged
will we have to continually relink them after the machines sleep?
We have no tech teacher in the lab, I am a classroom teacher who also oversees the lab, so I'm looking for an efficient solution.
Any advice? Any recommendations?
Thanks! Sharon

I have not done this but did look after Macs in a class room enviroment. I think your concerns are valid, you may be making a difficult situtation worse.
If no one come back with a definite answer, you could try a small number as a pilot, and keep them on machines next to each other. That may give you a better understanding of any likey problems.
What are the the problems with the wired headphones, cable breaks? If so woud headsets with detachable cables be an easier answer?
