Do you have a Toshiba Satellite? - GoFuckYourself.com

baddog · 10-15-2006, 04:43 PM

If so, have you ever tried using an external microphone? We are trying two different mic's on two different Satellites with the same results: no worky.

Anyone else have any experience with them? Is it simply a matter that the kids messed the mic's up?

flashfreak · 10-15-2006, 04:51 PM

I have one and the mic works without problems

marketsmart · 10-15-2006, 04:53 PM

read the manual or call tech support to find out maybe?

You attached an external mic, or are you talking about the built in one?

It says plug it in. I was hoping it wasn't a matter of the kids breaking two of them, but I guess it is what it is.

I will try mine when I get home.

It's not muted or shut off in the volume control, is it?

Fred Quimby · 10-15-2006, 07:28 PM

My wife has the satellite,,,If I can find the time,,I'll check it out.

SmokeyTheBear · 10-15-2006, 08:07 PM

i have 3 of them(toshibas) .. just plugged em in and they worked.. ( be carefull if your using the voice commands to run your computer )

prob mic's are broke although there isnt much to break, double clic the speaker icon in the tray and go to advanced options and make sure the input level are up..

I haven't found a place where I could mute or shut it off, so I hope not.

Those are very cheap mics, doesn't take much to kill them at all. Had one break on my toshiba sat.

I think we have have stumbled onto something here. When I click on advanced options it is grayed out. However, upon further investigation it appears it only controls bass and treble . . .

I have a Dish Network satellite

Again, it is not the internal mic I am dealing with, it works fine. I need to use an external one. Wondering if the jack is just a decoration.

double click the earphone in the corner right and un-mute the checkbox near to your target.

Nothing is checked, and there is no mention of a mic setting.

I was talking about an external mic that was bundled with my sat lol :P the jack isn't decoration, least not on my model. I remember a similar problem, kinda like yours, that a clients PC was having. I had to get an updated sound drivers from the motherboard manufacturer (was a micro-atx board) website (for crappy c-media ugh). I uninstalled all the references to the sound card drivers then re-installed the new ones from the mobo manufacturer, everything worked then. He had the 'greyed out' problem.
