microphone Is there an internal mic? To go with the camera.....

same problem over here! I just got mine yesterday. It's the pink one, 160gb. Everything else works cherry so far. For me, the mic is not worth the hassle of returning since i will probably rarely use it (if ever). If there is a fix though, I'd definitely love to know! Thanks for starting this discussion!

I am having the same problem but suspect it involves the driver or settings and am checking that out first. I would not return it if that is your only problem. Wait til a few more join in the discussion or I find something more about where the problem is. I loaded Skype and it works right up to the point of detecting my voice.

This is not an issue with the computer itself. It's an issue with Windows XP SP3. You can fix it by running the "Acer eRecovery Management" option. Select Reinstall Applications/drivers ( second option ), click view content and simply reinstall the audio drivers. Reboot and test it again. Realtek AudioGood Luck

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

Dear AJ,Your solution sounded quite simple. Unfortunately, it did not work. Tried it twice just to be sure. Also, it is a variation of what Acer tech rep suggested (uninstall and reinstall the sw, but not via eRecovery - just the old fashioned way). Still no live mic. Hope you are right and it is merely a sw fix that could be forthcoming, but reinstalling current driver is not it for my machine.

I found another thread about this issue here:http://www.fixya.com/support/t902322-microphone_acer_aspire_one_isnt_workingI 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.

there is a internal mic located adjacent to the webcam, however mine built-in mic is not working. I don't know if others are having the same problem. I just got my AAO yesterday... I'm returning my shipment back to Amazon.

No, there is not. It's a very short aux cable attached to the mic. You could buy a separate mic with a longer aux cable and be fine.

The microphone is not included. I had to buy separated. It´s a good mic for amature work. Good luck!

It comes with an external mic. But I wouldn't buy it again. Find anything but a Pioneer.

No there is no audio provided. You can add a microphone but there is only 1 audio input not one for each camera.

I don't have this item, but if you keep reading through the Q&A, you will see it has been answered a couple of times. Yes it does have a built in camera, and mic. Also, even though this is not a 100% guarantee, if you look closely, the picture shows a camera in the middle, above the screen.

It's hard to find out, isn't it? I believe we are talking about the same camera. It appears the external microphone jack is an accessory that somehow fits into the shoe on the top of the camera.

Hi, yes you may be able to connect an external microphone to this Sony camera. This unit has microphone jack (stereo mini plug). -Ely

Mine did not come with an external mic nor does it have a place you can connect an optional external mic. It does though have exceptional audio receive. I find the built-in mic has great quality.

There appears to be a MIC, but I don't know more than it shows on the Instructions, and Speaker. I think it must be built-in? Not a very techie person, but thought I'd try and help confuse you! :) I don't know how the microphone would work. I found lots of info on the web, which might be more helpful.

This camera is one we have. It has a built in microphone (stereo) and it has an external microphone jack for plugging in a microphone (mono). If you have xlr, you will need an xlr to 1/8" mono jack adapter.

The built in stereo mic that's molded into the body, yes. That external mic you see, no. That's extra.

From what I can tell, there is no external mic input on this camera. It only has AV outputs, HDMI output, and USB output. You can only use the internal mic. That being said, the internal mic is pretty good, and even gets decent sound when I record my band with it, at high volume levels. It doesn't overload the mic, which means it has some kind of good auto level control.

No, there is no built-in microphone. You can setup an external one with it which has an audio cable linker there.

It has a microphone. It's actually very reliable and durable. I'm hard on my electronics and accessories and its held up well. It's worth it:)

It has both. If you plug in an external mic, the internal one shuts off. The internal mic is not great, but it works. BTW, this is a great camera

As far as I know there isn't, i havent come across anything showing me an input for ext. Mic. But, maybe I'm missing something. Love the camera though! !
