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 🙂

I see that you need assistance in recording voice using system microphone,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:

1. Open Sound Recorder. Click the Start button. ...
2. Start recording. In the Sound Recorder window, click Start Recording, the button with the red dot.
3. Sing, say, or voice whatever you want recorded...
4. Stop recording. ...
5. Save the recording.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
