built in microphone problem in HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-cx0056wm

[Oghweniale]

I have a HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-cx0056wm which i have been using since 2019. I just installed some social media apps including skype, whats app and zoom. When i video chat using these media apps, i can hear what others say clearly, but they cannot hear me.

Kindly help me with possible solutions to the problem. Thanks.

Hi @Oghweniale

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the microphone issue.

1.) Connect the microphone to the computer.

2.) In Windows, search for and open Sound.

3.) Click the Recording tab in the Sound window.

4.) From the Recording tab of the Sound window, select the port that you want to use. There could be one or more ports.

5.) If the device you want to use contains a small circle with an arrow pointing down, the device is disabled. To enable the device, right-click the device name and select Enable.

6.) Click Set Default to make this device the default audio input device.

7.) Click OK to make the changes.

Thanks a million Asmita. My microphone has started working properly and others on skype, whats app and zoom can hear me loud and clear.
