I still have the problem that the mic doesn't seem to work on my laptop. Very annoying, especially when using video conferencing for school. I restarted the laptop and allowed the micro for all apps in the system settings. All unsuccessful. It would be really nice if someone could help me. Is there something you can download to fix the mic? Any specific keyboard shortcut? For me there doesn't seem to be a symbol with a microphone on the f1-f12 keys.
With best regards
(edit) I did it, but unfortunately I can't delete the question
As a simple solution, you first use (if you have a jack connection) a simple pair of headphones or any headset with a microphone. To fix it you can try one more thing (attention, a bit complicated):
Press Windows + X
click on Device Manager
look for your internal microphone there (should be under audio inputs and outputs)
you can now select it with a double click
go to driver in the bar of the window that has opened
uninstall them with the button (if you are asked delete the drivers from the device)
and restart your device
in device manager you should also see if there's an error, what kind of error it is. You can then enter this error code on Google and see detailed instructions.
Great, now I've written it for free haha, but that way you can actually solve a lot of hardware problems.
