Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to create a really good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.

hello! i have a chromebook and its my school chromebook. but my mic is really bad. i read this whole article and some of the buttons on here aren’t the same as mine. i dont know how to tell what type of chromebook it is or if there even are different chromebooks (im sure there are) but i have to go on zoom for my classes and i cant speak because no one will hear me! i have to make a flipgrid (which is for videos) for an introduction for my next year of school and my mic doesn’t work. there is so much static in the background that you could barely hear my voice. i adjusted the mic sound which made you hear me just by a little bit but there is still so much static. the earlier the reply the better! thank you!

Hi! I recently bought an inexpensive external USB mic for use with my Chromebox (like a Chromebook, but uses external peripherals). Up until now, I’ve used a USB headset, but I wanted to try the external mic for some conference calls. I plugged in the external mic and it worked just fine. I then got on a conf call, switched the input (and output) source to the USB headset and nobody could hear me. Apparently, the USB external mic hijacked the microphone channel and the only way to use the mic on my USB headset was to unplug the external USB mic. (I eventually connected it to a USB hub with a on/off switch so I can turn it off when I want to use my USB headset.)

Any ideas on what I might be overlooking or is this just one of the perils of trying a cheapie external USB mic? (I’d hate to buy a Blue Yeti or something else that’s expensive and have it work the same way…)

TIA

I’m using a Lenovo chromebook. Got it 2 years ago. My microphone isn’t working. There is no chromebook in India yet. So I couldn’t get it fixed. Since my sister needed microphone for her daily work. I got it from her and power washed it and logged in with my account and microphone worked after that. Previously we tried power wash and log in with her Id first before logging in mine. After power wash and logging in to the same account didn’t work but different account worked. But the same problem started. I’m not sure how to fix it. I can’t power wash and log in with another new id. What can I do now ?

Hey, do you have any advice to fix a broken camera? My camera seems to be dented and scratched and if you say my mic is located inside the lenses it would explain why My Mic is fluttering and making a bunch of weird sounds I am so disappointed with this computer’s camera I can’t be equipped worse.
