Microphone Troubleshooting
by
Steve Giesel
Microphone issues can be frustrating and we at ETCS understand that.
The list below outlines some of the more common things to check for when
troubleshooting your microphone problems. This list should help you accomplish
that.
IMPORTANT: If you have had microphone trouble in the past, try to identify
and eliminate the problem at least 24 hours prior to your next Adobe Connect
Pro event. Two or more days would be even better. Don't hesitate to contact
ETCS@missouri.edu for assistance
before you need a trouble-free meeting.
-
 Make sure there is not a mute switch on your microphone or the connecting
cord, which is switched to the "mute" position. This image of the Plantronics
headset shows the in-line mute switch in the off—or non-muted—position.
The other side of this control has a volume wheel for the headphones. Rotate
that to maximum.
-
Check to see that your headset plugs are connected to the correct
sockets.
-
Verify that the plugs are fully seated by pulling them out and plugging
them back in to check.
-
Verify that you have a working microphone by trying it on another
computer.
-
Get a microphone you know is working on another computer, and try
it on the machine you wish to use for the Adobe Connect event.
-
If you are using a desktop computer to attend an Adobe Connect event,
you do not have a built-in microphone. You must use a stand-alone mic or
a headset in order to speak during the audio portion of an Adobe Connect
meeting.
-
If using a laptop, plug the mic or headset directly into the computer,
not the docking station.
-
If you are using a desktop computer, use the sockets on the front
of the computer, not the rear.
