I have the same issue. I ordered two ENVY 360s for my kids. They just got them a week ago. On the second day both of their internal mics started buzzing and not working. If we restart the computer the issue goes away, but then it comes back again intermittently. This is clearly a huge issue with your product as there is NO reasonable explanation for two brand new computers having the exact same problem.

@EmilyLW

I understand your concerns.

For a start please try these steps:

• Right-click on the speaker icon on the lower right corner of the taskbar.
• Then please select recording devices. Please select the Headset Mic option
• Then tap the Lid near the top gently several times next to where the webcam is located and check if the microphone bars respond to the taps and receive inputs.
• If they do then it should work with a driver uninstall and reinstall.
• Please make sure that the headset Mic is set to default and enabled in properties option.

Then please perform these steps from device manager.

• Right-Click on start button> click device manager> expand sound video and game controllers>then select the sound drivers and right-click on it and uninstall the audio drivers. Check the box that says delete the software for this device.
• Then restart the computer and update the bios, chipset and audio drivers from this link:  https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers please select the country and follow the on-screen instructions.

• Also, download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.

  Refer this link to know how to use HP support assistant.

Then check if this does the trick for you.

If the issue continues, then check if the internal Microphone is working and perform all the relevant steps from this link:  HP PCs - Resolving Microphone Problems (Windows 10,    to troubleshoot the issue Then check if it gets resolved.

Have  a nice day!!
