My pavailion dv6 laptop has two 3.5mm jacks as in the picture and when i plug in a earphone i could hear the audio but when i try to talk it doesnt work means it doesnt take my voice in and when i plug the ear phone to the other microphone jack it woudnt work then too. I double checked with my ear phones they are fine and and i went through few forums and did the suggested procedures like opening the sound settings and changing the default input and etc nothing worked .After all this i tried to use the internal mic and that doesnt work too but when i literally hit the laptop i see green bars next to internal mic going up all the way(refer to pictures) but not when i talk .
i hope i can resolve this here.
OS- windows 10 64bit (updated few days back )problem persisted with previous OS windows 7 too
Audio drivers - in the pictures
no of devices it shows when i plugged my earphones - in the pictures
REPLY FROM HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT LONG BACK
I read your post and looked at the screenshots you had provided. I understand that you are having an issue with both an internal and external microphone. I would be happy to assist you. I just need your Model Number (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?). Once I have the proper information I can find out all of the specifications of your Notebook.
In the meantime, have you tried performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Is the microphone and headset integrated or are they separate pieces of equipment?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?
Does it work in any program?
Have you tried to use the troubleshooting tool?
Did you raise the Microphone volume level?
Have you tried a system restore back to a time when it was working?
Have you done Windows Updates?
Have you done updates with the HP Support Assistant?
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating.
Here is a document for you called Resolving Microphone Problems - Use the following steps to test, check hardware and connections, update audio drivers, and configure Windows sound settings.
Here is a document from Microsoft called Troubleshooting in Windows and another called Using Automated Troubleshooting from Microsoft.
