@StephenC65, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

To test the internal microphone on your HP All-in-One Desktop PC, follow these steps:

Open Sound Settings:

• Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar.
• Select "Open Sound settings."

Select Input Device:

• Under the "Input" section, ensure that the internal microphone is selected as the input device.

Test the Microphone:

• Speak into the microphone and observe the microphone activity bar to see if it moves, indicating that sound is being detected.

Use Troubleshooting Tools:

• If the microphone is not working, click on "Troubleshoot" under the "Input" section to run the Windows troubleshooter.

Ensure Proper Settings:

• Go to "Manage sound devices" and ensure that the microphone is not disabled.
• Check "App permissions" to ensure that the applications you wish to use are allowed access to the microphone.

Additional Options:

• Open the "Control Panel," go to "Hardware and Sound," and then "Sound."
• Click on the "Recording" tab, select your internal microphone, and click "Properties."
• Go to the "Levels" tab and adjust the microphone volume to ensure it is not muted.
