Product: HP Spectre Folio 13-ak0013dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Weird issue with the built in microphone. I can snap my fingers in front of it and have it pick up that sound, but if I talk (or yell into, or scream at) it won't pick up the voice at all.
I've done all the following:
- Audio Troubleshooter
- Microphone is enabled (for all apps)
- Microphone isn't muted
- Microphone level is 100%
- Tried both enhancements and no enhancements
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers
- Ran Windows Updates
- Installed all available updates through HP Assistant
I am at a loss, I don't understand how it can pick up a snap but not a voice.
