After I installed the Realtek audio driver on my MacBook under Windows 7 Beta, I could hear music just fine. However, I found that I could not record anything through the microphone. I checked my other MacBook under Vista, and the microphone didn’t work, either. I checked another laptop with Windows 7 Beta, and still, the microphone did not work. I then realized that none of the built-in microphones under Vista and Windows 7 Beta worked.
Some tweaking about the microphone properties got it to work. Here are the steps:
- Click on Start (the Windows icon) and type sound.
- Click on Sound under Control Panel.
- Click on Recording tab. Select Microphone and click on Properties.
- Click on Levels tab. The default Microphone Boost is set to 0. Increase it.
Close all the dialog boxes, and the microphone will be ready for use.
[Note: Not all drivers have this settings. I have tested this on Realtek and Sigmatel drivers]
Ok this thing is fucking pissing me off, i have the right drivers everything for my sound card, tried realtek, tried rolling back to microsoft drivers, wtf is going on why the FUCK wont my mic work, RAGE RAGE RAGE, its so annoying.
I have tried all the drivers in this thread. Everything
running it on a dg965ss board. someone atleast shed me some light been trying to fix this for like 2 weeks now its starting to really piss me off. i goto the set up a mic feature and my comp wont hear me either, and in the settings that you have i only have like digital audio (s/pdif)
thast the only thing thats showing in my volume control options, it picks up my headphones etc plays music n everything else fine thru them but cant talk etc record or anything,
The dg965ss has SigmaTel STAC9227 sound card. It’s not supported on Windows 7. You could try Vista’s driver though.
Since this is a desktop, you could just buy a cheap sound card which is supported by Windows 7.
i tried the sig drivers and everyhing they said they were not compatiable with this system the only one i got to work was the some IDT sound board, but i got my mic working, but still i can bearly hear my own voice it keeps going BEEP BEEP and all static then i hear very quietly in the background what i just said as if to repeat myself etc, any other solutions for fixing this? iv tried boosting the mic etc cant think of anything else.
Thanks a lot. It woked for me
I got the same problem when I installed Windows 7 on the latest Macbook Pro. I do not have a solution either.
im calling microsoft to see if they can help me…geez this sucks..badly
microsoft sucks badly
