Windows 7: Realtek HD mic detection issue

Hi guys

I've a Macbook Pro with the Windows 7 build 7000 running on it. Everything works fine except the microphone detection of the Realtek HD adapter. the macbook pro only has 2 jacks. one for the headphones and the other should be the mic/line-in.

By plugging in the mic from my headset, the realtek audio manager just shows me an input device instead of the microphone.
The built-in mic from the macbook works fine, but I prefer using my headset for skype.

Is there any workaround to fix this issue? how can i "tell" the realtek audio manager, that the plugged device is a mic?

I already installed the lates realtek HD drivers (2.18) and tried to assign the mic/line-in manually over the registry (Realtek HD Changing Jack output reassignments ( FIX )), but nothing could solve this problem.

here are some screenshots which are describing the issue. yes it's a german installation :-)



many thanks

Hi dumdidum and welcome to Windows 7 Forums

Referring to your first image, right-click on the BLUE socket and select Connector Retasking...

You should be able to set the appropriate option here.

hi dwarf

thank you for the fast response! when I try to right-click on the blue socket i just get the option "Audio Device Settings"...

is there another way to open this setting screen?

thanks

Hmm... I only get the option Connector Retasking... with the front panel sockets, but not with the rear panel sockets. I do, however, get Audio Device Settings with both sets of sockets.

mh seems like i have to wait for some new drivers from realtek.

but thanks for the help!
