Both Asus and Microsoft appear to have abandoned this device: Anybody else still trying to use one of these?

I haven't used this device since I switched to Windows 8 and the device didn't support that platform. I tried to contact for updates but gave up. Probably has the updates now. Thanks for reminding me. I will pull this out and see.

I found another thread about this issue here: http://www.fixya.com/support/t902322-microphone_acer_aspire_one_isnt_working I emailed Acer tech support and received the most useless, infuriating response ever. Basically the answer was how to see the device listed in the control panel. well, thanks but how about a suggestion on how to FIX it??? I may call them if I can muster up the patience. In the meantime, maybe the folks over at fixya will find a solution.

Good luck finding one. When you do buy it regardless of price. Asus stopped producing them quite a while ago.

Nope. I did not find a driver, still looking. It rejected the 10.9 driver ....

Why hasn't the Asus rep answered this question? Unless, they are purposely leaving it ambiguous.

I upgraded to 8.1 months ago and did the BIOS upgrade when it became available. I have not upgraded any other drivers and run WordPerfect, TurboTax, QuickBooks, Alpha 5, Photoshop and the entire Microsoft Suite. None are in the cloud as I want total control.

Defective motherboard, as I had a similar issue with an Asus MB. If it is still under warranty, good luck with dealing with their support. I would strongly suggest going with another manufacturer if you decide to replace it, ASUS really doesn't stand behind their products.

while I don' t have a clear cut answer, I do have one that works. See if it at least is at least recognized in device manager under Windows' control panel. If it is, you might right click on properties and have windows look for a new driver on the net. You might want.to reformat it under fat32 or NTFS....

MS media center sucks, but come on ASUS, this is like the first thing QA needs to test before rolling out the product. I am starting to worry if anything happen to my laptop and it needs to get service.

Just got one of these too and swapped out the RAM. Exact same problem that you guys are talking about. It only seems to shut down completely with the original stick that came with the netbook. I've been trying every single configuration option for the last 5 hours, and nothing seems to work. Please let me know if you hear of any solution out there.

Microsoft is about to quit providing any kind of support for Windows XP, including updating drivers and virus protection. I'm not 100% sure of the exact date, but I think it's sometime in April, 2014. While your asus certainly SHOULD have the power to run XP, I am not at all familiar with that machine. If it is a tablet or a netbook of some kind, I would advise you not to mess with it - unless you are VERY savvy when it comes to PC hardware and software installations. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your current software installation which may end up making it useless and certainly would void any warrantees you have on your machine.

As far as I know no consistent solution. One rumour of improvement with windows 8.1 and new driversOnly USB wifi adapter seems to be definitiveSony accepted my computer in return within first month after purchase

I returned it. I could never get it to work with Win7. Asus did not have the drivers. Check for drivers first.

I had problems with the device also. Trying to do a BIOS upgrade, was not recognized. Found an older one and it worked for me.

I purchased mine around the same time, and had no problems. It's difficult to advise you here though (because of so little info about your problem and no back and forth). I suggest checking Asus' support site. While it's hard to navigate, it does have lots of info, including (I believe) teardown docs for replacing the hard drive and memory.
