Internal Microphone not Working for Zoom

[alhuck]

My entire staff of 10 use the same HP Pavilion laptop. No one, myself included, is able to get the internal microphone to work when using the Zoom application.

How do we remedy this?

O my ENVY, using installed mic, the WIN 10 Voice Recorder sounds OK.

Zoom mic test does show and repeat the static problem.

Zoom udate to Version: 4.6.9 (19253.0401) does not resolve static

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
• Have you tried with Skype app?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
• What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: 

• Step 1: Check the microphone hardware
• Step 2: Update the audio driver
• Step 3: Use the Troubleshooting tool
• Step 4: Configure the sound settings in Windows
  Click here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03421813 to complete the troubleshooting steps.

And, also try this workaround:

• Open Control Panel.
• Open the Hardware and Sound setting.
• Open the Sound setting.
• Select the Recording tab and double-click your microphone you have selected as the default recording device.
• Click on the Level tab and reduce the Microphone Boost setting.

@johncarroll if internal Mic is working fine and it does not feature in ZOOM app then its issue with the ZOOM, not with the internal microphone.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
