Issue with microphone on laptop...

**georgekelp** · 02-14-2006, 05:39 PM

Sorry for the new thread, i did search for this problem too...

Im running RR on my laptop, and if i dont mute the microphone that is onboard, then there is static in the background... So i go ahead and mute the microphone in the volume control. and it sounds great.

But when i adjust the volume in RR it just unticks the check box for the microphone mute and adjusts the slider with the volume slider.

is there any way around this? thanks again!

Click START>CONTROL PANEL>SOUND AND AUDIO DEVICES. Under Volume click Advanced click options, click Properties click Recording and uncheck Microphone.

So is there anyway to like disable or uninstall JUSt the microphone without distrupting the regular sound card?

Yeah, in my first post i said I muted the microphone.. but when i adjust the volume in RR it just takes over all the sliders in the volume control and adjusts them up and down together.

I did not say MUTE the microphone. If you follow the instructions it will uninstall the microphone as RECORDING device.
In RR Config under Music Select Mpa Master Volume to Line and select Master Volume

Your first suggestion did not work, probly because i have windows 2K.. but your second solution worked.. I didn;t even see that option, kinda wierd cause i looked over that config menu so much. but thanks alot! way better now.

You're welcome, and have fun with it.

Well now its not altering the microphone volume... but its now defaulting the balance to "left"... its odd. I set it to center in voulme, then as soon as i adjust the volume in RR, it goes to left balance.. any ideas?

Man... you have a weird sound card or something! :P

well i think i got it. i just set "setbalance;50" and assigned a key on my remote to this function. and once i turn my volume up past 0 and then press the button, it stays balanced the rest of the time. its wierd. sorry if that was confusing, but i figured it out!
