windows vista 32bit realtek driver will not install
I have been through every aspect of the audio setting (control panel-sound)I have selected my microphone as the default, but I do not see a mic volume option in there... even when I click on configure. I have gone through the microphone set up module (in the control panel under speech recognition) at least a 100 times...lol. The microphone itself has a volume adjustment button... which I have turned all the way up. Do you know where the microphone volume option is? I am fresh out of ideas. Thanks -- ladybiker25 |

windows vista 32bit realtek driver will not install
"ladybiker25" wrote in message ... I have a HP Pavillion m7750n Vista. I was trying to install the Realtek AC'97 Audio Codecs. I am honestly not sure if this is the right one for my computer. I am feebly trying to troubleshoot. Here is my issue. I am unable to hear my microphone on my computer... for yahoo messenger, skype, etc. The computer is recognizing it and telling me that it the microphone volume is quiet and others may not be able to hear me. I went through the sounds set up... it is stating that the microphone is operational, but it does state that my sound is weak. My computer speakers are working fine. I looked on the control panel and I do not see a sound driver installed. My assumption is that the microphone needs the sound driver to work. The microphone is not muted and it is definately an operational microphone as I have tried 2 brand new desktop microphones and a brand new headset with microphone. Thanks -- ladybiker25 The HP comes with the drivers it needs already installed, but the one you are downloading is the wrong one anyway. The computer has the Realtek ALC 888 chipset, which uses Realtek's High Definition audio driver, not the AC'97 driver. Anyway you should only get the updated drivers from HP if you need them. They may not be the newest but they will work. The download pages a 32Bit Vista ---- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... oduct=3339301 or 64Bit Vista ---- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... oduct=3339301 With these multi-channel and multiple input audio devices you need to pay special attention to which inputs/outputs you are using and which of those happen to be set as the default devices in Windows. For instance you probably have both front and rear microphone inputs on the computer plus you might have another microphone built into the webcam. Any one of those could be preset as the default recording device so you need to make sure that the microphone you want to use is made the default device in Windows. You can set this yourself in either of two different places, either in the Windows sound mixer (right click the speaker icon in system tray) under recording devices or in the Realtek Audio Manager (also system tray or in Control Panel) by selecting the microphone you want to be the default. Messenger programs tend to start off being configured to use the "default windows" audio (or video) device. If that device/input doesn't happen to be the same as the microphone you are actually using it won't work properly unless you change the messenger audio setting to the exact microphone input you are using. |

Thanks -- ladybiker25 Sound- Recording Devices- your microphone- Properties - Levels You probably won't actually want to hear your own voice through the mic when you are chatting with someone... for one thing it will cause echo when it bounces back to you from the person you are chatting with and for another beyond certain volume levels it can cause nasty feedback through your own speakers unless you're using a headset. |

Thank you for your help. I downloaded the correct Realtek driver from the HP site. Then went into Realtek on the control panel and un-muted the microphone. Problem solved. Thank you for all you help everyone! -- ladybiker25 |
