Why wont my rocketfish mic work?

hello,
i have a Compaq Presario CQ60-418DX Notebook PC running with 32bit vista.
i recently got a  "Rocketfish universal USB gaming headset" for Christmas. the audio in is fine (i can hear it) but the mic isnt working. i have it set as my default and made sure the mute was off. i followed the instructions plugging it in so i assume that is correct.  when i open the 'recording devices' menu, it says the mic is working but it is not. I checked for driver updates and am up to date. please help me figure out how to get the mic working.
thanks,
Erik

Just a guess here, as I've read about this problem before, with no apparent solution. The new iphones with voice control now come with headphones with a built in mic. Could be that with the software update, when you plug the phone into the aux port the software is telling the phone that headphones with built in mic are attached, thus your mute problem since you're not using headphones. My only suggestion is to google for an adapter that has a built in mic.
You could also try a reset, reset all settings-you'll have to re-enter passwords for wifi & settings.
Also check & see if there is a speck of dirt in the headphone jack. Doesn't take much, use low pressure air or putting your headphones in & out a few times.

  • Why wont my .vst plugins work in cs6 on win 7 pro 64 bit

    why wont my .vst plugins work on my new os ,win 7 pro 64 bit, i have cs6 and cc installed, they worked fine when it was on xp pro.. even if it finds them and you can bring them up it crashes cs6, any advice is helpful, thanks!!

    But i really want them to work in cs6, i heard you have to use j bridge to use .vst's in cc, is this true..
    Yes.
    I just dont understand why they wont work in win 7 pro 64 bit , is it an os problem or is it a cs6 problem, when i had cs6 in win xp pro, was it installed as a 32 bit program, if thats the case can i load a 32 bit version of cs6>>>??? thanks!!
    It's not the OS - W764Pro can run 32-bit software fine in emulation. Your problem is that there is no 32-bit version of CC. It was widely circulated before release that this was going to be 64-bit only, and that you would need bridging software to run old 32-bit VST plugins.
    Apparently, jbridge works fine once you've got it installed and everything in the correct place. I wouldn't know though, because I don't use it - I only use a small number of 64-bit plugins directly. On those few occasions that I want to use a 32-bit plugin, I run it in CS6 Audition (which isn't the CC version, but is 32-bit). So yes, if you have the 32-bit program you can run them in that. Both versions of the software will co-exist quite happily on the same machine, and won't interact at all - except that you have to be careful with your sound device settings.

  • Why wont my crossfade tool work?

    When I select the crossfade tool and drag it from one region to the other, sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't. The regions are touching, even when I zoom in to the finest resolution. This is extremely frustrating. Don't stop reading and start posting. Finish reading my post.
    I stumbled upon at least one thread where someone was encountering a similar problem, but it was archived, so I couldn't post my discovery there.
    If you drag one of the regions, drop it, then drag it back to its original position, the crossfade tool works. This obviously isn't ideal, but at least it works. If anyone has a better solution for me, I'd love to hear it.
    I didn't see anywhere where I could use the marquee tool to highlight the desired region for the Xfade, then use a key command to set the fade. Why, oh why can't you do this, Logic? WHY!!?!?!?!!!!!

    Check that you're audio files are uncompressed AIFF or WAV. If you have imported anything into your project like an mp3 or m4a file, it may not have been converted to uncompressed audio file, and you won't be able to create crossfades.
    You can do this by selecting the regions you want to edit and under the audio heading in the tool bar, select "convert regions to new audio files". I thought I had set up Logic to do this automatically when importing, but it did not happen for me just recently.
    I think it's a really good idea to save your new project AS SOON AS YOU CREATE IT, before you've done any importing or recording. This way you have a proper project folder established and files in folders where they're supposed to be right from the start.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why wont my USB ports work?

    Hello, this is my first post and i am after a little help.
    i am having problems with my usb ports, i have a k8neo platinum mobo. i have usb ports on that, i have two front usb ports and i have a 4 four in a pci slot. a few weeks back they work working, i had been using a pen drive fine and my friends external hd connected through my front usb ports. now for some reason none work. i have tried my pen drive in every usb port and none work, the pci usb ports dont recognise it and all the others dont see anything at all. i have checked the bios and that seems fine. i dont know why they would just stop... i run win xp pro with service pack 2 so it should have no problem? any help would be great. 

    Fenix, after reading your post above, I decided to check my Antec case's wiring, manual, website and check the MOBO manual. In my instance the case, disregarding the 9th wire, and the MOBO agree. I did find some interesting information about the connector block and the Antec case. I bolded the warning information:
    http://www.antec.com/us/support_roductInfo_FAQ.php?Qnumber=5&FAQno=14
    Quote from: Antec
    What is the typical pin configuration of the Antec USB connector?
    The Antec USB connector follows the Intel standard layout. Majority of the motherboards follow the same standard as well. Intel Standard 10pin Layout
    Pin 1 = Power Pin 2 = Power
    Pin 3 = Data - Pin 4 = Data -
    Pin 5 = Data + Pin 6 = Data +
    Pin 7 = Ground Pin 8 = Ground
    Pin 9 = Key or Blocked pin Pin 10 = Ground
    Warning: If your motherboard contains a USB pin labeled OC or NC, make sure that no wire goes to it. You can lift the black tab and pull the wire out or simply clip the wire going to it. The pin for it is usually in pin 10. When a wire is connected to OC or NC, all the USB ports can stop working, the system can automatically shut down, or the secondary IDE is disabled.
    In your case, rewiring may have been the solution, but, as you can see, in my case, and I suspect in many, if not most, cases, the solution of removing the 9th wire at the #10 pin is the correct course of action.
    I think you should post your solution, but please identify you Case's make and model as this solution may be limited to that case or to certain cases.  I think double checking to ensure that the wiring of the case matches the pin configuration is a very good course of action. There may be several solutions to this problem and yours or mine may not be the only ones.

    also I have two blue bars across the top of browser. On the left side the top one has the firefox logo, the bottom has Firefox button. And on the right side I have two minimiz-resize and close buttons, one set on top bar, one set on bottom bar. Is something wrong with my insallation??? And private browsing quit working. Just installed this two days ago. Just updated it. I have four add-ons. Ghostery, No-Script, Privacychoice and better privacy. thanks, W

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why wont my iHome mouse work?

    I just recently got an iHome mouse and when I plug the USB in it says "configure keyboard. Press SHIFT+A random to key to submit keyboard." and when I click cancel I cant get it to come back up and the mouse doesnt work at all. yes the mouse has batteries and the USB is plugged in as well as the mouse being on, I can see the red laser so I know it is on and supposed to be working.
    P.S. I also tried looking in the bluetooth and it still would not read the mouse.

    As indicated, contact whoever made the mouse. These are user to user Apple forums. Few people here know anything about third party devices.

  • Why wont my Air Drop work?

    I got this ipad air in february, and I love it. the only problem I seem to be having is my air drop will not work, my bf has the air as well and he can airdrop me all sorts of stuff when we are close to each other. However, when I select a picture, and choose to airdrop it.. nothing happens. No picture pops up (I can see my face on my bf ipad when he chooses me to air drop), both my bluetooth and wireless are on but yet it still refuses to let my use my air drop. Any ideas at all what could be happenining or am I doing something wrong?

    by the way here is what should execute as soon as it is
    launched:
    public function DocClass (){
    stage.displayState =
    StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    VideoGlobals.FLVS =
    File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("AIR_FLV").getDirectoryListing();
    VideoGlobals.PLAY_LISTS =
    File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("AIR_PLAYLISTS").getDirectoryListing();
    VideoThumbnails.addThumbs();
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    addMainMenu();
    private function addMainMenu () {
    mainMenu = new MainMenu();
    addChild(mainMenu);
    mainMenu.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, openSelectEdit);
    DocClass is my document class constructor function and
    MainMenu contains graphical content that you can see once it is
    added to the stage, so it is clearly not getting added.
    THANKS!

  • Why wont my creative cloud work?

    Hi,
    I bought the creative cloud about a month ago and I've been having problems getting it to work ever since. So far I've managed to get it work after a multiple tries to turn it on and then turning it off again before it works. Well this time the stupid turning off and on didnt work, it just won't let me sign in and let me download anything. When I open creative cloud it is blank. I really need to get it to work, my school and work depends on it and I don't wanna be paying for something that doesn't work. Can you please get back to asap! please! I'm desperate here...

    Hi Kukkaf,

    After renaming the OOBE folder please uninstall Adobe creative cloud from the cleaner tool and re-installed the product from from www.creative.adobe.com/apps

  • Why doesnt my facetime mic work?

    Everytime my friends facetime me they can't hear me so i have to restart my iphone 4, then they can hear me.

    Is Facetime turned on for both phones? If so, are both phones on WiFi. If they are, you might need to reset the phones. That is done by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phones have restarted, try the call again.

  • Why wont the ampisand symbol work in web pages on a UK keyboard?

    I am using a UK keyboard which is correctly installed in Win XP. When I try to use the ampersand symbol in web mail pages using Firefox 4 beta 4, I get ( " )instead of the ampersand symbol? I do not have the same problem using IE8 or Firefox 3.6. *I have also ensured I have enable the generic English tab in Firefox 4 settings to no avail!*

    Don't you mean the '@' key ?<br />
    On a UK keyboard the @ and " are swapped, so that would make sense.<br />
    The ampersand (&) shouldn't be affected.<br />
