During Zoom call my student reported he couldn't hear me if I moved either away from the microphone or to the side more than maybe 20 degrees. Using the voice recorder and microphone tests that when I speak directly to either side of my screen from maybe 18" away, the volume of my voice drops below 1/10. Is this fixable??

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the 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

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
