Please run a Microphone Test from F2 diagnostic and let me know the results

- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the Notebook.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. 
- When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests and Audio > Microphone

I have a Pavilion x360 and microphone is not working which makes Zoom impossible. I have done the HP Support Diagnostics which reports that there are no issues with the microphone (wherever it is located!). I tried to run the F@ diagnostic and when the components menu came up, there was no option for "microphone" only "Audio." I am so confused at this point. Where is the microphone on this laptop and why doesn't it work when I do the microphone test in the HP diagnostics. Audio works fine.
