"We cannot find your microphone"

[Captain_syagni]

I got the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk0xxx delivery day before yesterday (23/10/2020), and I have been noticing problem, that I assume is manufacturing defect - regarding the microphone

It says "Microphone is disabled", but i have cross-checked in system settings, and says microphone is enabled. I've literally tried everything in my reach, but got nothing fruitful. This is a very important requirement for me, who is supposed to attend online meets and classes.

After everything I tried since daybefore yesterday, I assume this to be a manufacturing defect.

I hope to get a suitable remedy for this as soon as possible.

   (b) Go to Device Manager, Sound to uninstall sound driver (Realtek) and reboot,

- Laptop is HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk0268tx

- My laptop is brand new, so I dont intend to upgrade/downgrade right now and risk warranty loss.

I uninstalled the realtek sound driver, and installed the .exe file as directed, and there is no change about the microphone :(( Its still not working
