Hi @hoplo 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Let’s get your built-in mic working quickly! Here are a few things to check:

1. Verify Mic Is Enabled

• Right-click the Speaker icon in the taskbar → Sound settings.
• Under Input, select your built-in microphone and Set as Default.
• Click Troubleshoot to scan for problems.

2. Check Microphone Permissions

• Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.
• Ensure "Allow apps to access your microphone" is enabled.
• Check that your recording software (like Audacity or FL Studio) has permission.

3. Test in Sound Control Panel

• Type "mmsys.cpl" in Windows Search and open it.
• Go to Recording tab → Select microphone → Click Properties.
• Under Levels, increase the volume and unmute if necessary.

4. Reinstall Audio Drivers

• Open Device Manager (Win + X → Device Manager).
• Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
• Right-click your audio device (Realtek, Intel, or similar) → Uninstall device → Restart.

5. Try an External Mic or USB Audio Adapter

• If all else fails, plug in an external mic or USB audio adapter to bypass the built-in mic.

Try these out and let me know if you need more help—let’s get your song recorded smoothly!
