Windows Vista - Microphone not being recognised

Hello,
We got a lot of support queries relate to 11.9.900.117/11.9.900.152 on Vista, the microphone just doesn't work in Flash. We can't find the solution for our clients who still on Vista. Video capturing works fine, but microphone stop working on Flash.
What we have so far been advising people is to have a look at this link - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-pictures/microphone-not-wor king-with-vista/955e8893-d357-4d4e-a3ed-1023400d1d88. Microsoft offers four steps (they say 5 but step 2 is missing) that the user can go through one by one to see if the microphone is working properly!
If that does not work, we direct them to take a look at the FixIt option suggested on this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems
Do you have any solution for this?
P.S. It seems there is no of microphone issue on latest Pepper Flash embed into latest Chrome 31.

Our basic microphone tests pass, so there's a nuance to your implementation that we're probably not covering.  We'll need to debug the problem to make any meaningful progress on it.  If you want to privately share credentials for a test account to me, you can send me a private message in the forums. 
If you'd like to get traction on the bug, you need to point us to a URL that reproduces the problem so that an engineer can look at it with a C++ debugger.  Without a repro case, your bug will not make it to the engineering team.  You're welcome to send me a private message with credentials through the forums -- just click my name.
Alternatively, you could try using different codes and bitrates on Vista to see if there's a viable fallback for that particular target. 
The Flash Player implementations between Internet Explorer, Firefox (and other NPAPI browser) and Chrome are all significantly different.  It would also be helpful to understand where this works and where it doesn't.  Chrome may be a viable workaround for your impacted Vista users.

    I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
    I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

  • Lightroom6 instalation rejects installation on Windows 7 with remark that windows vista is not supported

    I tried to install Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 System
    The installer jejects the Installation with the remark that Windows Vista is not supported by this product
    Is that Problem known? Is any solution available?

    Hi Michael,
    You can follow the article: How to troubleshoot issues that may prevent a program from being installed correctly on a Windows Vista-based computer and check whether the installer is running in Compatible Mode or not.
    If the check box for Compatibility Mode is checked and simply UnCheck it and click Apply.
    Run the installer and again and check if it still gives you any error message.
    Let us know if it works or not.
    Thanks,

  • My iPad2 is not being recognised as a device by my mac or my PC?

    All programmes are up to date. The iPad pops up in itunes but nothing else. It's not recognised as a device in image capture either. Any ideas why?
    The problem is I have a whole pile of photos that I want to get off the ipad that I can't access because it's not being recognised.
    I could email them all to myself but this would take forever. Entirely the opposite of convenient, which I thought the iPad was supposed to be.
    Photo stream only works so so, it's not sending all of my photos across, just ones it randomly selects. I really don't understand what that's about.
    If anyone has any tips they would be greatly appreciated.
    So far I have:
    -updated iPhoto software
    -updated iPad software
    -reset iPad
    -turned everything off and on again.
    Nothing seems to work.
    Looking forward to hearing a solution,
    Aoife

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they won't appear in Image Capture (or iPhoto or Aperture, and on a PC windows camera wizard and windows explorer) - there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which you can use to copy those back via your wifi network (but photos are 'optimised' when synced to the iPad, so if you do copy them back they may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer).
    If you have photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/website then the iPad should appear in those applications so that you can then copy those photos off the iPad.

  • Ipod not being recognised, but with a twist

    Hi,
    My ipod nano 5th Gen is not being recognised on my computer. It is now being recognised by the computer itself sometimes, but not itunes. However, when I plug my ipod into my partners laptop, its fine. More to the point, when they plug their's into my laptop, it recognises them. To me, this suggests that both my laptop and my ipod, individually at least, are working.
    I have been through the ipod support page, and gone through all the steps, and to no avail.
    Final details. I'm Windows 8, and my itunes is totally up to date. I have re-installed iTunes, and have reset my ipod to factory settings on another computer. It still doesn't work, please help if you know anything about this!!
    Cheers,
    Ralf

    I have the same issues. itunes 5.0.1.4 doesn't recognize my mini. ipod updater doesn't recognize my mini either. i have uninstalled itunes 5 and reinstalled 4.9, but it didn't work still. something in itunes 5 changed something in my system that reinstalling 4.9 doesn't fix it. updater just shows that i have no ipod connected. if i try to get updater to check for my ipod during the updater installatin, it just sits there and says "waiting for ipod". it's not my usb port because i can read and write to my ipod. i did the entire list of chores that apple suggests on the site including disabling all other functions and services, reinstalling the com port, uninstalling everything, reinstalling everything, getting windows install clean up, e v e r y t h i n g! nothing worked.
    I then installed itunes 4.9 and updater 1.4 in my other laptop. i was able to update to firmware 1.4 using that computer. when i put the ipod into that computer w/ itunes 4.9, everything works fine. of course, it asks me if i want to link that laptop w/ my ipod. i said no, because i want to use my original laptop w/ the ipod.
    anybody have a solution for this? it's like we all have the same symptoms and going to the same doctor and we end up having to diagnose ourselves. this is extremely annyoying and inefficient.

    had this problem after doing a hard reset on my x6, pc suite and ovi suite would not recognise phone.
    The solution above worked great although i had to restart the pc after repairing drivers for it to connect.
    reason for hard reset was because the screen kept going all washed out/scrambled every now and then tho could get it back to normal after playing with lock button. hard reset did not fix this issue which i am still having.

  • Batteries not being recognised after update!!

    My OS seems to be messed up! I updated my battery while running on 10.4.3, and it asked me to remove battery and plug it back in and restart.
    I did that, but now my battery is simply not recognised??? I tried plugging in the other battery but that too is not being recognised! Though both batteries run and I am able to use laptop without powerchord.. but once the battery runs out, i need to plug in powerchord and this does NOT charge the battery.
    This is bad, as now I have 2 batteries which are not recognised after the update!?? I even tried updating to 10.4.4. Doesn't help!

    Got it.
    Try running the firmware update for the battery again.
    The first couple of times I tried the firmware update failed. With the firmware update window open but in the "didn't work" mode, remove the battery and replace it and then hit the update button again. Took a couple of times but I got it to work, the computer recognized the battery and all is smiles again.

  • My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

    My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'.  The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times.  I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties.  I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

    I went back earlier today and tryed looking into my BIOS and came up with nothing. There, oddly enough, is no setting to enable or disable, or even set some sort of graphics card. I have; however, looked into the problem a bit more and by luck found that others with the same laptop had a sort of similar problem on windows, and they used the SWupdate tool to fix it. I am going to try sometime soon to make a small partition and install windows, and hopefully update the BIOS.

  • USB Audio CODEC not being recognised.

    Hello,
    I have my my Wharfedale 802 mixer plugged into my MAC Mini (late 2012),  Processor - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory - 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, via USB however it is not being recognised as USB audio CODEC what so ever. I have also tried searching for this to set the outputs in Logic and it is not recognised there either.
    I have just updated my iOS to Yosemite 10.10.2 and also my Logic X does anybody know why my mac is not recognising my USB audio CODEC for an input or output?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    I just posted this problem I had also. The USB audio Codec is for PPC macs only. I couldnt get a PYLE USB cassette deck to work in AUDACITY because it needed that codec.Windows users use this codec for many devices including the one you are trying to connect.
    My post in Snow leopard forum:
    I have come to the conclusion that this codec only worked on Macs that used PPC chips,not Intel Macs.Apple must have dropped it when switching to Intel.No where on the net can I find anything about this codec on newer mac OS's and newer Macs.
    Judging from this user's comment and others,they are working with OSX10.4 or newer OS that has PPC support like the first Mac Pro and other PPC's.I think the comments below answer my own original question.Hope this helps anyone with the same kind of problem with USB devices that need USB audio CODEC.
    In Audacity prefs, I selected:
    "USB Audio CODEC" for both Input and playback.
    I even tried lower sample rates and such. Record button stays grey and readouts don't show any input whatsoever even though I am sending a signal.
    Mac is a 533Ghz g4 (Digitial audio) running 10.4.11
    It is plug into a USB port on back of machine.
