I am not getting good sound from the built in microphone. I would like to plug in an external mic but the jack only accommodates a headset/mic combo plug. When I am on interactive videos, people have a hard time understanding me. What to do?

- Step 1: Check the microphone hardware (do not skip any troubleshooting steps if you feel steps are repeating)
- Step 2: Update the audio driver
- Step 3: Use the Troubleshooting tool
- Step 4: Configure the sound settings in Windows
