Sound / Audio

[weapher]

I have a Satellite p305d running windows vista home premium. I plugged in an external mic and it was quite muted so I went to the speaker icon and right clicked. Went to recording devices and disabled the internal mic thinking that might help if I disabled the internal mic.... It didn't help so I tried to enable internal mic.

Now I want to enable the internal mic and it is nowhere to be found. I right clicked in the recording devices box and clicked on "show disabled devices" but is is not shown. All it says is no recording devices are found...

Any suggestions on how to get my internal mic back?

I use it frequently so any help would be appreciated...

Which Satellite P305D?

i can't find/use my internal mic at all.  it doesn't record on the sound recorder or the cam.  it shows as being installed, but i don't know how to enable/make it work.  Your help is appreciated very much.

oh yeah.  i have qosmio x305 but don't know how to tell what the rest of the model number is.

[Jerry_Lippey]

The entire model number (and the part number) should be on a label on the bottom of the machine.

Thank you, Jerry.  It's an x305/Q711

i installed the audio driver from the link you provided earlier in this thread.....still nothing.  there was a note after i downloaded it about doing something with the .exe file.  i did not understand what that was, so i just installed it and restarted.

I figured it out. I uninstalled the smartaudio conexant audio driver and then I downloaded the new driver from the computer manufacturers site and reinstalled the driver. After restarting the computer i went to the control panel and to the sounds icon. Under the recording tab I enabled the device...

To summarize... download new driver, uninstall old driver, reinstal new driver, restart computer and enable device in the device manager.

Hope this helps others with the same problem

Huh?

I didn't provide any driver in this thread. Until now, I didn't even know what machine anybody has.

The sound driver for your computer is here.

   Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista (32/64bit)

Oops.  Sorry about that.  I must have gotten the link in a different but similar thread.  Anyway,  I'm not at that computer right now, so will have to try again later.  Thank you very much for THIS link.
