Hi! @DimaRozkin, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

I understand you need to technical specifications of the microphone on your PC.

Don't worry I'd like to help.

There are no technical manuals or specifications for the microphone from HP.

However, Microphones can be designed to pick up sound directly in one direction – unidirectional mics – or in all directions – omnidirectional mics. If you’re in a noisy room, a unidirectional mic is a better choice. If you want to pick up the noises in the room, for instance in a conference call situation, you will want an omnidirectional mic.

Many microphones will list their frequency response range (e.g. 40Hz – 16KHz). By itself, this information is not particularly useful, and you should not judge a microphone with a wider response range as being objectively better. Human voices typically fall in the 85-255Hz range, well within the capabilities of even the cheapest computer microphone.

Also, I found a very good a very good article from howtogeek.com website regarding microphones refer this link for more information. 

Let me know if this helps!

Have a pleasant day ahead! 🙂

@DimaRozkin, It's been great to hear from you again.

I understand your concern but none of the laptop manufacturers provide specifications for the microphone unless the laptop is shipped with some high definition or dual microphones.

However, I'm glad I was able to guide a bit of it.

If you have any concerns in future you can always get back to us.

Have a wonderful day ahead! 

Cheers! 🙂
