HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-df0xxx
Microsoft Windows 11

HP Spectre Laptop internal microphone does not work:

  • USB headset microphone does work.
  • All sound outputs work correctly.
  • Windows troubleshooting app does not find any problem.
  • Removing and reinstalling microphone and audio drivers has no effect on issue.
  • Updating driver response: "The best drivers for your device are already installed".
  • Discovered that HP Noise Cancelation, enabled as default setting in HP Audio Control App, disables the internal microphone (Microphone Array (Intel smart Sound Technology (Intel SST))).
  • Work around: by disabling HP Noise Cancelation in in HP Audio Control App, the internal microphone now works
