Problem

Received a HP Omen 15 laptop from HP Store mid September 2021 and everything functions fine except the audio input, I have sound from speakers and headphones, just no recording. It detects the device, has no issues with any recording device- whether it be an external one; tried Bluetooth, USB and 3.5mm or the internal microphone array. However, none of them pick up audio, external ones are not faulty as work fine on desktop pc and other laptops. I have a sneaking suspicion its a faulty sound card but want to try all software related fixes before requesting a replacement.
