Microphone Problem

[tpowers7]

I am having trouble with my microphone. It has never been a problem before, but recently the microphone on the computer is messed up. I sound terrifying. I have been told it's worse than a Darth Vader voice, or that it sounds like I am inside a garbage disposal. I have updated my computer, have restarted it, and have used headphones to try and bypass it but when the headphones disconnect it's still terrible. Definitely frustrating now that every meeting has to be online. Help?

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊
