Mic won't work

14 years ago

I discovered my mic did not work when I wanted to use Audacity. I then tried sound recorder that came with computer and same thing.

This is what my contraption looks like. I did the test and it said all is well?

I had my computer in for repair last Feb. after I did a destructive System Recovery and hadn't had the need for mic use until now only to find it won't work.

I couldn't record from my mic with Audacity until I chose Microsoft Sound Mapper instead of one of the 'Mic' choices for the source.

I have the same issue... so, it is the laptop, charger, or electricity at home? my laptop is almost new it has around 1 year or so, and I noticed that in the multiple plugger on my bed room that was not working, I turned off and on the multiple plugger and worked the charger again. I also turned off and on the general power at home and all the pluggers that were not working start working again, but after 2 days are no longer working again, I turned off and on the general power again and this time didn't work the pluggers... So, now I'm working on the dining room that it is working the plugger (for now)... but as the others post, some plugs don't work for my laptop. I just tested the same that other previous post and when I charge my cellphone in the other plug of the double plugger, the charger works.... So, I guess I need to call the electrician.

Just to clarify - in plain english... Typically, you only have 1 live wire coming into a box with 2 switches. That live line is split and then goes to both switches - usually via 2 short wires. If you just hook the live wire to the first switch, then the second switch doesn't get power. Also, your husband may have done everything "right" and then knocked something loose while trying to stuff the wires and switch back into the box. If he isn't familiar with electrical work, the connection to the switch may not have been solid enough to withstand pushing it back in. That is actually pretty dangerous, so someone needs to open it back up and fix the problem asap.

Do we get any more hints? Gas or electric? Brand? Can you define "doesn't work" better? Won't heat (could be a bad element)? Error code (check manual...)? Heats to wrong temp (may need calibration or a new sensor)? No display (electric issue)?

Always good to see what others have done in similar situations. Take a look at these and see if one of them could be used as a reference when you speak to the next glass guy. BTW IMO your design looks a bit overly complicated. Either go to the ceiling or don't and consider using the minimal frame support to securely anchor the panels and the door. I'd rather see the minimal frame that 20 supports.

Thank you 2 for trying to help. Still nothing.

Bob414, I don't have that option? Mine is different.
