when the laptop is connected to docking station (HP ultraslim docking station) and the earphones are connected to 3.5mm left panel jack of the laptop itself, microphone does not work.
Instead everything works fine if the laptop is NOT connected to docking station.

From the following iformation
https://support.hp.com/id-en/document/c04936028
Machines has Headphone/Microphone combo port. When you connect headphone to the machine itself (same port with microphone) machine thinks you use BOTH connections therefore it disables the microphone port.
Please try
(a) Right click speaker icon (bottom right),
(b) Select Recording devices
(c) Disable what aver external microphone and enable Internal microphone
Regards.
