internal mic working only intermittently on X61T

#1 Post by oleshvets » Fri Dec 26, 2008 6:00 pm

I have recently installed Vista Service Pack 1 and bunch of other upgrades and my internal mic stopped working (for most of the time). It never works when tablet is in an ultrabase. Sometimes it works but it is quite a rare occasion and I can't pinpoint what triggers those on and off.

I can see it in 'recording devices,' it just does not work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled audio drivers, checked for most obvious hardware software conflict. Any ideas? I would really really appreciate any help with that. it is really annoying to connect an external usb mic every time i need a quick 'skype' chat.

Thanks a lot!

Actually, I did install (reinstall) SoundMax drivers... So, it is not that.

What puzzles me is that sometimes mic does work, in Skype, recording etc. Thanks for the help!
