Internal microphone not working on my hp pavillion x360

[chloehumber]

My hp pavillion x360 microphone stopped working recently and I don't know how to fix it. I tried to troubleshoot in setting and it says it may not be set up(but it previously was) and when I tried to speak the phrase it asked me to to set it up, it did not hear me. I have reset my computer and I still have no luck. Does anyone have any recommendations? As I am working from home now I will need the use of my microphone. Thanlks
