The microphone array on my HP Spectre x360 is not working

[Badg]

The microphone array on my HP Spectre x360 is not working with any software packages.

In control panel / Sound / Recording,  the bars next to Microphone array indicate sound OK

In Windows recorder, zoom, skype, dragon naturally speaking, Audacity etc., nothing comes through.

Can anyone suggest a fix? Preferaby not a full system refresh.

Hopefully.

Thanks for the quick response.

If I use a Bluetooth hi headset all is fine.

Cheers.

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps suggested in the link?

[Badg]

Drivers checked – best already installed
Audio check run. No errors reported sound comes out but there is disappointingly no test that the microphone receives sound.
Troubleshooter couldn’t identify the problem
Sound settings configuration checks done. All OK

Still no microphone to any apps.

As a last resort I suggest we try a Reset. Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04742289
