Under Input, make sure the correct microphone (usually “Realtek Microphone” or similar) is selected.

Tap the laptop chassis near the webcam to test for activity in the input bar.

Microphone Volume Settings

Click on Device Properties under the input device.

Click Additional device properties (right side)

Go to the Levels tab.

Make sure microphone level is at 80–100.

If there's a Microphone Boost option, try setting it to +10dB or +20dB.

Privacy Settings Blocking Microphone

Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone

Make sure:

Microphone access is turned on

Let apps access your microphone is on

Check individual apps like Teams, Zoom, etc., to make sure they have permission.
