I have a problem where the microphone either does not work at all or is very, very low and does not work with things like Skype. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm using a new 13" MacBook Pro that uses the Cirrus audio part.
for one I have the same issue. MacBook Pro, 13", Bootcamped Win7 RC, mic works alright except for Skype. Reported "very low volume" means no input. Has to be a driver. Would say Win7 problem but have same issue on Vista (on a Toshiba). cannot be Apple, either: the speech recognition works, the control is handed over.
I am not sure who else reads this but I got my mike working with Skype. I uninstalled the Cirrus driver (something AR77) and installed from the Apple OSX CD Bootcamp drivers the one with Cirrus for XP. Then I got the Cirrus High End device (not the other version) and voila.
Note, I started installing the Realtek on it first, also on CD, which helped my bro. But then this was the best approach.
I think: a) it is a driver issue for the built-in microphone b) Win 7 is like Vista, really, looks the same, feels the same, does not work the same (but I need it to get a Windows project done and evaluate). c) if Apple made a contract with the business application (the biggest) I work with I would no longer need Windows on it. Not for office, not for applications. Apple? Would you start aSAP negitiations?
