How can I get a copy of the ATR25 Users Microphone?

Without more information about the specific model of Gemmy Santa you have, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer on the type of replacement microphone that can be used. However, in general, most microphones used in consumer electronics devices are electret condenser microphones, which are relatively common and widely available. These types of microphones are often used in small devices such as smartphones, tablets, and handheld microphones. You can look for a replacement electret condenser microphone with the same or similar specifications (e.g. sensitivity, frequency response, etc.) as the original microphone that came with your Gemmy Santa.

We really need more specific information to answer your question, like what kind of computer and operating system. But in the most general terms, make sure you are plugging your microphone into the microphone port and not the headphone port. Check that the volume setting is turned up and not muted. You might also have to turn the microphone on through the sound settings (usually found by right-click on the volume).

Usually the speakers on the laptop would act as a microphone- go into speaker properties, enable microphone and see it reacts. Bar that, you could go with the usb or bluetooth microphone route (I use the same headset for my phone as a microphone for my pc)

Not sure the problem is in the driver. Just bought the microphone and probably don't know how to use it. My computer has a sound recorder but I can't get any audio? I think I just don't know what I am doing.

You need to configure your microphone settings.
When you open Skype click on Tools - Options - Audio Settings and click on Microphone and select the microphone you are using and save the setting.
I don't know the audio/microphone setting for Phone Serve.

Make sure that you are supplying phantom power. This mic requires it. Without phantom power, the mic will appear to be dead.

Let me know if that resolves the problem.

In order to use another microphone other than the built in microphone on a Logitech web camera, you will need to configure the new microphone to be your system's default microphone.

To change the default microphone in Windows:

1. Click "Start," "Settings," and "Control Panel."
2. Open the applet that corresponds to your operating system.
   1. Windows 98 users, double click on "Multimedia."
   2. Windows Me and Windows 2000 users, double click on "Sounds and Multimedia."
   3. Windows XP users, double click on "Sound and Audio Devices"
3. Click the Audio tab.
4. Set the microphone to the sound card in the drop down box that is appropriate for your operating system.
   1. Windows 98 and Me users, click on the Preferred Device for Recording box.
   2. Windows XP and Windows 2000, click on the Default Device box under Sound Recording.

If you are using the built in mic, open the Quickcam 11.5 software and adjust Audio Settings.
The Audio Settings provide access to device selection, basic audio levels, and AEC.

• Select Microphone– Allows you to select desired microphone for video calling and video recording applications.

• Volume indicator – Indicates the current input volume level..

• Adjust Recording Volume – Toggles input volume level.

• Cancel Echo – Enables or disables AEC for RightLight and RightLight 2 supported cameras.

• Select Speakers – Allows you to select desired speaker source for video calling and recording applications.

• Audio Tuning Wizard – Launches the Audio Tuning Wizard

If all this fails, it could indicate a problem with your soundcard. Try using some speakers or another mic and see if they work. If they don't, you card is faulty. Remenber to set up your mic in the volume properties. On the lower right hand of the screen, you should see a volume icon. Right click and select open volume control. Select Options and the Properties. Select Recording and check all boxes below. Close that window and now make sure Mic level is max and not muted.

Hope that helps!

Step 1: Getting Started
Before we begin setting up the sound in MSN or Windows Live Messenger, ensure the following is complete:

• Connect your camera and verify that it is working properly
• If using headphones, verify that your device is connected and functioning
• If using speakers, verify that they are functioning properly
• If using a headset, verify that both the headphone and microphone are connected and working properly.

Step 2: Executing the audio and video setup procedure within the messenger application
This procedure will allow you to assign an audio input and audio output device, as well as assigning the video device of your choice to work with the messenger application. The following example uses Windows Live Messenger 8.5 however, the same procedure can be used for earlier versions of MSN Messenger 6.x and above. MSN Messenger users please skip directly to step 4 below.
Note to Windows Live Messenger users: There are multiple ways to execute the following steps depending on being signed in vs signed out of the messenger application, and which version of Windows Live Messenger is being used. To avoid confusion, please execute the following steps while signed out. We also recommend updating to the latest version of Windows Live Messenger.
1. Sign out of your account.
2. Launch the messenger application (make sure you are not signed in to your account).
3. Locate and click the "Help" drop down button towards the top right corner and select "Show the menu bar"
4. Now click the "Tools" option in the menu bar and select the “Audio and Video Setup” option.


5. Click “Next to begin the setup process.


6. In the “Speaker Setup” window, select the output device you would like to use with the messenger application. This step is specific to speakers or headphones. If your speakers or headphones are USB devices and connected to your computer, select the device by using the drop down menu provided. If your speakers or headphones are connected to your soundcard, the device listed will be the make or model of your soundcard device.
You can also set the desired volume level and click “Play Sound” for an audio sample. Click "Next" once you are comfortable with the your selected options.



7. In the “Microphone Setup” window, select your desired input device from the drop down menu provided.
This selection will be specific to a microphone connected to your computer. If your Logitech video camera has a built-in microphone, this option will be presented as “Logitech Mic” with your camera model name in parentheses as shown above.
If you have an external USB microphone or headset device connected to your computer that hosts a microphone, select the devices name or model number in the drop down menu. If your external microphone or headset is connected to your soundcard, the device listed will be the make or model of your soundcard device. Once your device is selected, adjust the microphone volume level to your preference and click next.
Note: The microphone volume level may need to be tested in order to find a comfortable volume level. As a starting point, try setting the level midway and adjust when necessary by re-executing this procedure.

8. In the “Webcam Setup” window, select the video device you would like to use with messenger application. Once selected, you should see a display sample in the window provided. You can also click the “Options” button to make camera specific adjustments. Once completed, click the “Finish” button to apply your changes.


Once you have completed this process, the messenger application should now be configured to the correct audio input (microphone), audio output (speakers or headphones), and video device (webcam) to use when engaging in an audio and or video conversation.
