I bought this laptop before 1 month and since the beginning I have been having issues with the microphone.
When I start to speak, the sound from the microphone is not clear and there is some buzzing/distortion sound. I am talking about the laptop's internal microphone.
I've tried all of the basic and advanced steps with troubleshooting the microphone audio, but nothing has helped so far. The troubleshooter says that there are no sound issues, but clearly there is some kind of a buzzing robotic sound coming from the microphone when I speak.
Sometimes the problem is fixed by itself and the buzzing sound disappears on its own, but later it will come back again.
I am not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

- Step 1: Check the microphone hardware (do not skip any troubleshooting steps if you feel steps are repeating)
- Step 2: Update the audio driver
- Step 3: Use the Troubleshooting tool
- Step 4: Configure the sound settings in Windows
