Bolt Productions Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hey guys, I have the realtek alc286 and sound works and everything, but the mic isn't working. The mic is detected but is not functioning properly... the volume bar for the mic only moves when you adjust the volume, and doesn't go all the way up nor all the way down... I have Voodoo HDA, and no matter what settings i adjust, the mic just won't respond to my voice or taps.... I'm trying to explain the best I can what's going on, but its very difficult to explain.... To sum it up in 1 sentence, my mic doesn't respond to activity...… ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated. Please don't leave me sitting here like some guys that i've seen since waiting since Feb 2008!!!! I have an acer aspire 4720Z my specs are below incase of need. 120GB HDD 2GB DDR2 667 MHz Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU 1.86GHz 1MB L2 Cache 533 MHz Bus Intel GMA965 X3100 Media Accelerator Up To 358MB Realtek ALC268 HD Audio iAtkos v7 (10.5.7) Again, ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated!!!

My best suggestion would to be download iAtkos v7 (10.5.7), and the wi-fi will work... once you update to 10.5.8 through software update, it fixes alot of bugs....
