My microphone just stopped working, what can i do? (by 30 users)

If your microphone seems to work and then stop working during a hotComm session:
Turn the mic off and then on again.
If it continues to not work, close hotComm, wait 20 seconds, then restart hotComm.
If it continues to not work, restart your computer.

double click on the sound icon by the clock at the bottom toolbar

make sure that none of the things in there are "muted"

that was my problem after i accidently pluged my headphones into my computers mic jack.

it auto mutes the build in one if you do that!

I have heard of this verse 514 mic before but have never seen it yet, but I'm thinking of a few things that might help you out. microphones does not require drivers coz it basicaly plug and play, this is true for those analog mic that you plug into your computer's sound card at the back but for the verse 514, its different, it looks like a mic but the truth is that it is mic with a usb sound card built in to it, and since it is a sound card, it is a separate device hence needs separate drivers to make it work (default drivers by windows or that of labtec if any), you'll know this by checking it from the device manager or the sound and audio device options in the control panel. Now you might need to make some adjustments on your windows sound and audio properties or even in the voip program that your using to specify which device, the sound inside your pc of the one built in to the mic, should produce output and or receive input audio/sound/voice. for step by step instructions on how to do this, you may check it out from the microsoft site or the website of the voip program that your using, if you want live support, try this number 1-877-787-8749, I forgot their name but these guys can help you out.

If you've exhausted all options and your TB1 still does NOT work or record ANY input level, try taking the case off and pulling out the 12AX7 vacuum tube for replacement.

Just like light bulbs, these tubes pop and go out. Depending upon how you store/care for/frequently use the mic, its well within range for this to happen.

It just happened to me. The cause? Power outage during recording. These mics are designed to pop the tube and not fry the mic. Same concept as a fuse system. But, the 12AX7 tube that's inside the mic(as well as the Presonus BlueTubeDP) is replaceable, can be ordered off the net or had locally. It's around $20. OR you can do your research, UPGRADE your tube and replace it with a better aftermarket version.
