Built-In Mic Not Working?


ADVERTISEMENTS

I've had my netbook with windows 7 starter OS for about a year now. I'd disabled the mic function because I was getting TONS of interference from it all the time... But out of curiosity, I tried to re-establish it so I could webchat, and it's no longer registered on my devices. I've gone through my HD Realtreck Audio and turned up the volume on the mic, and I hear things through it when I have in my headphones, but the computer does not register that it is there when I try to record anything from it.
I've heard it's often a problem with the drivers. Is this true, and what does it mean?

you need to select the in built mic as your microphone device in your web chat software. e.g if you are using Skype or Yahoo messenger, go to options > Preferences > Audio settings > select the microphone device as the in built mic and you will be able to use it.

to stop the interference from happening, open the volume control, open mixer or advanced control and mute the mic volume. The mic will still work but will not put any sound on your computer's speakers or headphones while it will keep sending sound to other computers through voice chat softwares.
