I recently uninstalled the built-in Microphone Array driver on my HP Pavilion Plus 14 laptop because it was causing some issues and wasn't working properly. I thought removing the driver might help fix the problem, so I uninstalled it through Device Manager. However, after doing that, I realized that my laptop no longer has any functioning microphone at all. The built-in microphone is gone, and I don't have any other microphone devices available to use.

I've already tried checking my audio settings, but I still can't get any microphone input. I'm not sure how to restore the original Microphone Array driver or get my microphone working again. Does anyone know what I should do to reinstall the driver or recover the built-in microphone functionality on an HP Pavilion Plus 14?
