I plugged in multiple headsets into the headset jack and i can only hear audio. My microphone works on other devices. It always says no device plugged in.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@JustAgamer132 (you and me both, not sure what you've done 132 times though! 😉 )
Thank you for responding,
This is the Riddle_Decipher, again!
It's great to have you back 😉
If i'm not wrong this is how the back of your device looks like:
(If yes, you can use the pink port in the back to make use of the microphone)
-
USB 2.0: 2
-
LAN (Ethernet)
-
HDMI out: 2
-
USB 3.0: 2
-
Audio: Line in
-
Audio: Line out
-
Audio: Microphone
Keep us posted,

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
As I understand the microphone isn't detected on the device,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Have you ensured the (pink) microphone port is being use for your microphone device?
- Did you run a hardware test on the audio card to ensure there aren't any hardware issues?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:
Click here for advanced troubleshooting on Microphone issues.
Also, run the extended test on the audio card to ensure there are no hardware issues on the device: Click here for details.
(We are experiencing server issues with the HP support site, if you aren't able to use it now, please try accessing the links after some time).
Keep me posted,
For I (Or a trusted colleague) shall follow-up on this case to ensure the concern has been addressed,
And your device is up and running again, if you don't get back to us 😉
that said, If the information I've provided was helpful,
give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,
that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Good Luck
