Microphone (mic) does not work with windows vista

Microphone problems with Vista. I could not get my head set mic to be detected,in the front or rear microphone jacks, downloaded new drivers, checked everything and finally got it going by using an USB adapter(connects the two 1/8 plugs to one USB port), same headset that could not be detected now works just fine

My OS is Windows Vista. I get a message ” no audio device is
installed “. The microphone is not working. I listen the voice from other side. Please resolve this.

I have the same problem–Vista refuses the believe a microphone is plugged in (it is). I uninstalled the old sound driver (realtek) and downloaded the new version, for Vista, installed and restarted. no change.

I have a slightly differnt problem. My microphone works but only when i use voice chat like skype. If i play a game and i am on Vent it gives nothing but horrable feed back!

It worked fine on XP but not vista ultimate 64 bit. I have updated everything and i am still unsure of what to do.. if any of you have an idea e-mail me at anmonte2001@yahoo.com

i have the same problem. i’ve been trying everything for 3 days now but NOTHING!

i have two mic’s plugged, one in the front, one in the rear and Microsoft vista does not recognize any of them as installed. i’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the realtek/manufacture drivers countless times but Microsoft HD audio keeps installing itself automatically and of course no mic is detected. speakers work fine.

HELP!!

Ok, so my computer (Vista) will detect my microphone but it says it is muted. I have tried everything I can think of to un-mute it! What is going on?? Skype tells me the same thing – that my mike is muted. Any suggestions? By the way, I got skype to work for one phone call, so I know that it was operating properly at one point.

Thanks!

I have a slightly different problem. Vista recognizes that there is a mic and says it’s working, but I can’t get any sound at all to be heard by my comp. I have the mic volume turn all the way up and the boost on as well. I have been plugging it into my soundblaster, my motherboard AND I’ve tried a USB headset…still nothing works. Please help?

I have the same problem as kristen, Vista recognises the mic, the sound bar even bobs up and down in the control panel but games will not recognise it :/

After this go to control panel > sound and audio device settings. Check whether the microphone is detected by Vista or not. If not, check whether you have selected the frontal microphone or rear, as vista recognizes them separately unlike windows Xp. Correct the configuration of front/rear mic if needed.

This is excerpted from the article above…

HOW do you configure front/rear mic jacks ?

Is my system disabled somehow, as it shows no icon for ‘Microphone’, only ‘Digital Input Device (SPDIF) ?

I set it to show Disabled/Disconnected devices, but I can only see the icon for SPDIF ( a box)…

Oops, forgot to mention…

I am unable to use Logitech WebCam IM or Logitech ClearChat headset. Both are unable to detect any sound from their mics.

I tried the Logitech site, but they’re still scratching their heads on this issue and have no answers.

I took properties on playback devices if i write that correct now

and then Volumes or what it is in english, there at least my back mic plug Rear Pink in was muted, took that off and then it got detected after dragging the mic out and into the plug hole

hope this is a solution for some

i have windows vista. we bought a usb mic and pugged it in. the microphon works fine…the problem is that when it is pluged in the audio doesnt work. how can i get the sound to work such as playin music and having the mic plugged in at the same time? does any1 have a solution to this problem

ok I reformatted my computer because I had done that before and installed the driver for my soundcard and it worked. This gets time consuming doing it every two months.

My computer tells me there is no jack information availible. I have downloaded the driver from an updated source but my computer is not recognizing I have an input jack. Please help I am going nuts. And per your answer up there I could not find a box that you could check front or rear. I am assuming it is because my computer is not recognizing I have jacks at all?

My speakers work fine no worries there but no matter how hard I try I have no mic.

@Lttldevl0
Check closely if the wires inside the cabinet which connects the front panel to the motherborad are connected or not. Also try look for settings in the sound drivers software regarding the same. unfortunately the interface of different drivers is quite different from each other, so can’t guide you exactly what options to check. On an approximate note, look for an option like “Enable / Disable Frontal Mic Detection”, try to tun on/off this option and see whether it works for you?

my toshiba vista just got upgraded to windows 7 but when i went on yahoo i could not call my friends using my corded microphone. when i went to click on sounds notheing came up please help me
